Project Description:
I need black and white illustrations for a book that will be published on Amazon KDP. The main goal is to create clear illustrations for the following types of instructions:
- Knots: 13 types of knots (for example, Bowline, Reef Knot, Clove Hitch, etc.), each illustration should be accompanied by step-by-step images.
- Plants and their names: illustrations of plants with their names, so that the species can be easily recognized.
- Survival medical techniques: basic medical techniques for survival with step-by-step illustrations.
Example of instructions for knots:
Bowline (Bend Knot):
Step 1: Hold the end of the rope in your left hand and leave a small tail — this will create a loop.
Step 2: Pass the rope from the right under the left rope, then pull the top part from the right up through the created loop.
Step 3: Wrap the top part of the rope around the left rope from bottom to top.
Step 4: Pass the top part of the rope back down inside the created loop.
Step 5: Tighten the knot by pulling the top part of the rope and the tail of the rope down to secure the loop around the object.
Step 6: Check the knot for strength to ensure it holds firmly and does not slip.
Reef Knot (Flat Knot):
Step 1: Hold the two ends of the ropes parallel to each other. Cross the left rope over the right so they intersect in the center.
Step 2: Pass the left rope under the right and through the formed loop.
Step 3: Now take the right rope and cross it over the left, creating an opposite cross.
Step 4: Pass the right rope under the left and again through the loop.
Step 5: Tighten both ropes up and towards the center to form the "Reef Knot".
Clove Hitch (Binding Knot):
Step 1: Pass the rope behind the object (for example, a post) to which you want to tie the rope, and cross it over the top of the object to create a loop.
Step 2: Pass the end of the rope under the created loop, then wrap it around the object from the top again.
Step 3: Tighten the knot.
Project Requirements:
- Illustrations must be adapted for a book page size of 8.5x11 inches.
- All images can be either black and white or colored depending on the concept of the book.
- Each illustration should include a title, the drawing itself, and the instruction text.
Expected Result:Clear and detailed illustrations that are easily perceived by the readers of the book and meet KDP printing standards.
Questions for Contractors:
- Do you have experience creating illustrations for books? Please show examples of your work.
- What will be your approach to creating black and white illustrations to make them as clear as possible?
- How long will it take to complete the work?
- Do you have experience creating colored illustrations for print in books? How do you plan to use color to make the instructions clearer and more appealing?
- What format of illustrations would you prefer for a color book to ensure high print quality and compliance with KDP requirements?
- What will be the differences in complexity and timelines for the colored version compared to the black and white?
