Graphic Design

We have revised our approach to graphic design projects. Please review our graphic design project flowchart. This step-by-step guide lays out the most common steps in the process, while also helping to define production timelines and designate the materials we will need from you in order to provide the best final product. Our designers are experts in their fields, just as you are an expert in your project topic. Therefore, we ask that you take steps to ensure the information that we’ll be placing into layout has been fully developed, reviewed, and fact checked. This is another area in which the college/center communicators should play an import role in the overall process, so we encourage you to involve them from the beginning to avoid delays from having an added step for reworking content to ensure accuracy and consistency with other public pieces.

Consult with our graphics team about:

• Budget
• Production schedule
• Messaging and content
• Other style guidelines
• Branding and brand concept, including:
  • Color palette
  • Logo design
  • Font choices
  • Imagery and layout

Some expectations to help achieve the best product when working with us:

Proofread your project for accuracy.

Provide high resolution photos and graphics for print quality.
