About us

Land & Marine Publications is a UK-based publishing company with a strong presence in the East African market, where over 90% of our work originates. Since 1992, we’ve produced more than 20 high-quality titles annually, specialising in bespoke marketing materials for the airline and tourism sectors. These include branded in-flight magazines, travel guides, and other custom publications.

We're a small, friendly team of experienced editors, designers, sales professionals, and production staff who manage the entire publishing process in-house. Our collaborative approach ensures every project is impactful, engaging, and beautifully designed.

Since launching our first in-flight magazine in 2010, we've grown to become the leading provider of premium in-flight titles across East Africa. We work with some of the region’s most respected airline brands, delivering editorial and design that inspire, inform, and celebrate travel.

The role

We’re looking for a mid–senior level freelance graphic designer with strong magazine and page layout experience to join our creative team on a project-by-project basis.

  • Supporting occasional bespoke design projects (in-house or client-led)

You’ll collaborate closely with our Design and Production Manager via Microsoft Teams and be an integral part of our creative workflow -despite the distance. You must have your own equipment and fully licensed Adobe software.

Note: This is a freelance role that requires consistent availability and long-term commitment.

What we’re looking for

  • 4–5 years’ experience in editorial layout is essential
