Job Description

This role is for a senior-level freelance graphic designer to create a full wraparound book cover for a unique project centered on a 26-year archive of audio field recordings from Rainbow Gatherings. The book, titled "Sounds from the Rainbow," is under 50 pages and will be printed at 8 x 10 inches. The design should evoke a beautiful, inviting, vintage, and psychedelic aesthetic, incorporating supplied imagery and creative collage elements. The project requires a designer with a strong sense of visual storytelling and the ability to translate archival and community themes into a compelling cover that stands out on shelves.

Deliverables

Design a full wraparound cover (front, spine, back) for an 8 x 10 inch book, including placement for title, author, and back cover text. Integrate a supplied banner image (rainbow over meadow) as the central visual theme. Optionally incorporate a provided image of people holding hands in a circle on the back cover. Utilize additional supplied artwork or photos as needed. Creatively blend collage elements such as wildflowers, songbirds, trees, and acoustic instruments (folk harp, lyre, guitar, hand drums, ukulele). Ensure the front cover features the book title prominently and the author’s name in a smaller font at the bottom. Reserve a clear area on the back cover for a barcode and include the provided back cover text. Deliver print-ready files meeting professional publishing standards.

Requirements

Proven experience designing book covers, especially for print. Strong portfolio demonstrating vintage, psychedelic, or collage-style work. Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) or equivalent design software. Ability to interpret creative briefs and incorporate supplied imagery seamlessly. Excellent communication skills and openness to feedback. High attention to detail and understanding of print production requirements. Availability for prompt project turnaround and responsive collaboration. Experience with personal or archival projects is a plus.
