Hi There,
My name is Cecilia (Senior Graphic Designer) and besides I'm new on freelancers, I have more than 12 years working for publishing companies, all around the world. Magazine designs, are my specialty. At the moment, I'm working for some publishing companies on Fashion, and Culture including Education, Medicine and Theater. I handle very well files for print and you won't have any problem with this. I know the area and I can be in touch with your printer to know their specific specs for print.
To set the exactly time it will be take, I'll need a bit more information, like, how many pages does the mag has. Also, if you can send me a couple of pages (we can sign a NDA if you want), to see the quality of images, the cover and others. If the magazine has many pages you probably need to design a Spine. I can help you for sure and we can start asap.
I'm fast and I work with InDesign CS6, also Photoshop and Illustrator.
I have several samples to send you but apparently you need to send me a message first, to receive them. So, if you have a minute, I'll show you samples of past work.
Have a nice day and please contact me for samples,
Cecilia
