The Office of College Relations has implemented a production request process to streamline project management and meet deadlines. Please follow these guidelines when requesting graphic design and print services:

1. Contact Sandy Jansson, college relations coordinator, at 321.4037 to schedule a design consultation with Murray Hanford, publications manager. This will help to eliminate interruptions and allow for planning and preparation.

2. Finalize copy and concept before design work begins. This will help to eliminate multiple drafts of changes.

3. Sandy will enter all projects into the production database to help prioritize projects and monitor status, changes and deadlines. Also inform Sandy of the date when the office can expect to receive the copy. Monthly reports will be generated and distributed accordingly.

4. Allow two weeks for the first draft of a design project to be completed for your review. Exceptions may be made for urgent requests per the discretion of the director of college relations. Please plan accordingly.

5. Most commercial printers require two weeks to process and delive a print project. (Please plan up to five weeks for a project to be completed—from concept to delivered product.)
