Behind the Book seeks volunteer graphic designers to design and format the books written and illustrated by pre-K to 12th grade students participating in our classroom literacy workshops.
Proficiency in InDesign is required. You'll be responsible for short-term projects, overseen by our art director. You can commit on a project-to-project basis and may work from home, but it's preferable that you live in or very near New York City.
This opportunity is ideal for a designer with a passion for education and literacy, an eye for layout, skill with the required software, and a desire to build a portfolio of professional work.See examples of our previously published student books at http://behindthebook.org/gallery.html
To apply, please send a link to a portfolio or examples of your work, along with a message about your interest, to info@behindthebook.org. Please use Book Designer as your subject line.
