Cohere Coworking book design project

Cohere Coworking is a vibrant community of independent professionals sharing office space--and their lives--in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado.

With freelance and remote jobs ever increasing, coworking's popularity is on the rise. Coworking thought leader and Cohere founder Angel Kwiatkowski knows this, so she wrote a book to teach others how to create successful coworking businesses.

This is where I came in. Working alongside Graphic Designer Jenny Fischer, we led the design of a 120-page workbook from beginning to end, producing no fewer than three versions of Angel's text:

Interactive PDF for sale online. Also used as a teaching tool in web-based learning groups.
Kindle ebook via the Kindle Create platform.
Amazon print edition via the CreateSpace platform.

Along with leading project management and client communications, my shared graphic design responsibilities included:

book template selection and customization
color scheme, typography, and layout refinements
thematic features including pull quotes and business spotlights
interactive workbook features such as web links, videos, text-entry fields, and checklists
supplemental graphics
cover design
table of contents, file compilation, and pagination
pre-press proofing and editing
revisions to satisfaction
