Getting Started
1
Job Submission
Request a project meeting with Creative Services by filling out the online form. Please review Creative Services’ helpful “Project Planning Questions” online before meeting with staff.2
Contact
When we receive your request, a job ticket will be created. Creative Services staff will contact you to discuss the project details. A meeting will be necessary for ALL NEW PROJECTS. When updating or reprinting projects a meeting may not be necessary depending on the extent of the changes. The most important guiding principle is working backwards from the date needed. If you require a printing estimate, it must be done upfront because it adds days to the project timeline.3
Design/Proofing
You will receive a first proof based on the project timeline. You will then make edits, changes, and suggestions for the second proof.4
Approval
Once your project has reached completion you will need to sign-off on the proof release form OK as is; ready for printer. Your final sign-off* allows Creative Services to prepare your project for its intended output - electronic or print. We will not output any project without final sign-off.
When an off campus vendor is used, the University requires a Purchase Order to be issued before we can send the artwork to the vendor.
When printing with the University Print Shop, we will provide you the .pdf file(s) needed. Please communicate directly with the Print Shop for any requirements after you have received the .pdf. At minimum the shop will ask for the number of pieces you want printed and your account number for payment.
*Final accuracy of material including spelling, grammar, factual accuracy, and images are the responsibility of the client approving a project. UNA Creative Services will make every effort to ensure accuracy of content, but we are not liable for errors after final sign-off is submitted. Final sign-off indicates all materials have been reviewed and approved by the appropriate parties involved over the course of the project.
