Both of these departments do a lot of publication design and if their schedules are too busy to accommodate your particular project, they can most likely direct you to other graphic artists who can do the work. Both of which will probably delay the production of your job. In it there are many pages of information on preparing printed materials for the university, including templates, logo usage and information regarding the use of photographs. Even though these days we are geared toward all electronic imaging and scanned images, we are able to work with the conventional means of paste-ups and stripping. My department uses all IBM compatible PCs.
Fonts are always a major concern.
Generally we must have you choose similar Macintosh fonts before we output your job. For instance by choosing a red and blue as your base colors, you can create purple, in essence a third color without the press run. Furthermore by creative use of screen tints in either of the two colors one can create a variety of hues ranging from pastels to bright saturated color. Another cost saving measure is to keep the color on one side of the publication only. An example of this can be illustrated with an ordinary letter size brochure that folds in thirds, creating six one sided panels.
