Book Graphic Designer (Tamil)

Peacock Design Solutions is looking for a Book Graphic Designer (Tamil) to lay out and typeset books for publishers, educational imprints and self-publishing authors. You will work on picture books, textbooks, novels, workbooks and coffee-table titles — handling interiors, covers and the prepress files that go to the printer.

Key Responsibilities

• Lay out and typeset book interiors — picture books, textbooks, novels, workbooks and activity books.
• Build master pages, paragraph and character styles so a whole book stays consistent.
• Design book covers including front, spine and back, with spine width calculated from the printer's paper spec.
• Place and position illustrations, photographs and diagrams within the text flow.
• Set front matter and back matter — title pages, copyright, contents, index and appendices.
• Apply correct bleed, margin, gutter and safety areas for the binding method in use.
• Prepare print-ready CMYK PDFs and run preflight before handover.




• Produce EPUB and fixed-layout digital editions where required.
• Incorporate proofreader and author corrections across revision rounds without breaking the layout.
• Package source files with fonts and links, and keep project folders tidy for reprints.
• Coordinate with illustrators, editors and the printer to keep schedules on track.

Required Skills

• Solid working knowledge of Adobe InDesign — master pages, styles, threading and tables.
• Positive command of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for image and vector work.
• Solid typography fundamentals: type hierarchy, leading, tracking, widows, orphans and rivers.
• Understanding of print production — CMYK, bleed, trim, imposition and paper stock.
• Ability to work to a grid and keep a 200-page book visually consistent.
• Experience preparing press-ready PDFs and resolving preflight errors.
• Font licensing awareness and careful font management.
• Accuracy under revision pressur
