02 / About
Structure first, then style
Tasmia SultanaWhen every page carries different tables, photographs or languages, consistency comes from the grid, the style sheet and a little restraint.
I'm Tasmia Sultana, an independent layout designer in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I work on long documents: books, catalogues, lookbooks, company profiles and capability statements, where structure, readability and production accuracy matter.
I have done freelance InDesign work since 2023. Medibook on this site is client work; the other pieces are self-initiated briefs, built to the same standard: named styles, parent pages and a preflight check before export.
Before design, I studied philosophy at the University of Dhaka (BA and MA) and trained in professional graphic design at CodersTrust Bangladesh.

What I do, how a job runs
Studios · Brands · PublishersFor design studios
Overflow layout
Multi-page documents built from your masters, grids and Figma or InDesign specs: catalogues, brochures, company profiles and multilingual editions. White-label; I never contact your clients.
For brands
Catalogue and template systems
Catalogues and line sheets on paragraph styles and parent pages, with Data Merge from your spreadsheet where it fits, so next season is an update, not a re-layout.
For publishers and authors
Book and magazine interiors
Books, magazines, workbooks and eBooks from a Word manuscript to a print-ready PDF. English, with German and French typesetting.
From manuscript to press, in four steps
01
Brief
You send the content, page count, languages, deadline and any brand files. I reply with my questions in one list, then a fixed price.
02
Template
I set up the page size, grid, parent pages and styles first, and send two sample spreads for approval.
03
Layout
The full document, built on those styles. Your changes come back to me as one list per round.
04
Package
A print-ready PDF to your printer's specification, and the packaged InDesign file with links and a font list.
Questions
Before we start
What files do I receive?
A print-ready PDF exported to your printer's specification, with bleed and crop marks, and the packaged InDesign folder: the .indd file, an IDML copy, the linked images and a font list. Your own team can edit it later.
Can you work white-label for our studio?
Yes. If you have an approved design in InDesign or Figma, I lay out the remaining pages from your masters and styles. Your client never hears from me.
Which languages do you typeset?
English, German and French. The text comes from your files; I set it, I don't translate it.
How does a spreadsheet-driven catalogue work?
Product names, codes, sizes and prices live in a spreadsheet. The layout is built once with fixed product cards, and the data flows in. When prices change, the spreadsheet changes and the pages are rebuilt instead of retyped.
How are revisions handled?
Two rounds are included. Each round comes back as one consolidated list, so nothing gets lost between messages. Further rounds are charged by the hour.
How is the price worked out?
A fixed price per project, based on page count, the number of languages and how much the content changes from page to page. Payment is 50% to book the dates and 50% before the final files.
