🎨 **Senior Book Designer & Typesetter (InDesign Specialist)**
🏢 **About Us:** A renowned publishing house in Amsterdam producing literary fiction, illustrated children's books, and academic journals. We are seeking a talented Book Designer who understands the art of book architecture — not just placing text on a page, but crafting harmonious grid systems and selecting typefaces that embody the spirit of each work.
📐 **Core Responsibilities:**
• Create complete interior layouts from scratch in Adobe InDesign, developing bespoke typographic concepts for each title.
• Typeset complex multi-page documents containing tables, charts, formulas, footnotes, folios, and full-bleed illustrations.
• Execute rigorous pre-press file preparation: color separation checks, high-resolution PDF/X generation, bleed and trim verification.
• Handle non-standard book formats: select designer papers for endpapers, specify embossing/foil stamping for covers, calculate spine widths.
• Collaborate closely with editors and authors, gracefully incorporating textual revisions while maintaining design integrity.
🎓 **What We Are Looking For:**
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
• Deep knowledge of contemporary typography, grid systems, and book design principles.
• A strong portfolio of published print projects demonstrating typographic sophistication.
• Patience with editorial feedback and meticulous attention to pre-press technical requirements.
✨ **What We Offer:**
• Competitive Salary: €55,000 EUR annually.
• Full-time, on-site role at our modern Amsterdam studio with large-format monitors.
• Participation in award-winning publishing projects and continuous professional development.
• A collaborative, creative team passionate about the craft of bookmaking.
