Sports Book Designer & Spanish Translator @Ed Strauss

Freelance Bilingual Book Designer / Production Artist

Spanish Football Cards, 1905-1939

We are creating an illustrated bilingual book introducing collectors to Spanish football/soccer cards from approximately 1905-1939.

We are looking for a freelancer to help translate, design, and produce the book over an approximately 2-month project period.

The book will use a consistent two-page format: the left page will feature large images of the cards and related historical material, while the right page will feature English text on the top and the original Spanish text on the bottom.

Ideal Applicant
Fluent in Spanish and English
A genuine football/soccer fan
Strong Adobe Photoshop skills
Strong book/page layout and typography skills
Experience with Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or similar software
Comfortable working with vintage images and historical documents
Detail-oriented and able to maintain a consistent design throughout a book

Experience with sports cards, football history, museum catalogs, or collectible books is a plus, but not required.

Project

The goal is to create a beautiful, museum-quality reference book rather than a traditional sports-card price guide. We will provide the original Spanish source material, card images, and research.

Estimated project duration: 2 months.

When applying, please send examples of relevant design/layout work, your experience with Spanish and English, your availability, and your proposed rate.

Please also tell us your favorite football club or player so we know you've read the entire posting.
