Design Process
How does it work? Here’s an overview of the process if you have the Graphic Center design for you.
First Proof
You will be notified by email when your first proof is available. In fact, if at all
possible, we like to email a pdf of the design as an attachment to the email. For
posters, brochures, postcards and other materials that will be printed, we also produce
a printed proof. Please feel free to take the proof to review at your leisure, show
to others who may be involved with your project etc.
Revisions
If there are revisions, you will get a second proof. Generally proofs for revisions
have a much shorter turn around time than for the first proof. Minor revisions could
even be done the same day.
Approval
Wether it’s the first or the third proof, if you are satisfied with the design, and
you don’t have any revisions, then you give it your approval.
Production
If your job is design only, “production” is just making sure you have the files in
the digital format(s) that you need. If we are printing or producing buttons magnets
or some other product, this can be initiated after you give your approval. Production
time of course depends on the type of item and quantity being produced. Some items
like flyers or posters can be produced almost immediately.
Invoice/Payment
SAA funded student organizations and ESU university departments can be invoiced, in
some cases payment such as for non-SAA funded student organizations, payment may be
needed in advance or when the job is finished. We can accept cash, credit, debit checks
and eDollars.
Archiving
When your job has been fulfilled, we archive the files for a ten-year period. This
can save you time and money in the future if you wish to do a new job based on the
old one; this is called a “file update.”
Design Categories
Club Specials: Only ESU Student Organizations qualify for this special price package. Includes; flyer or poster design, 65 8.5” x 11” color copies on economy paper, & 2 file proportion adaptations.
Single Design: Design for a single item such as a poster, flyer, eflyer, Postcard etc. This is for one design, without additional proportion adaptations. Brochures, booklets and complex multi page files do not qualify for this category. If the client wishes us to design with a particular theme, image etc. that must be presented BEFORE design work is begun. If there are AA’s * which exceed the time allotted, additional charges will be incurred.
File Update: This is for a job that is actually just an updated version of a design we did previously. We archive all jobs that we design, so you can take advantage of the speed and economy of a file update if you like!
Moderately Complex Design: Design for a moderately complex item, such as a brochure or booklet. More complex jobs are more labor intensive. As a result, the price we quote will be higher than for a simple job.
