Printed communications come in all shapes and sizes and many degrees of complexity. Publications Office design professionals can recommend the method of printing best suited to your project. However, to help you plan for your printed piece, we have developed this list of typical examples of publications, so that you can get an idea of the steps involved in planning your project.
NOTE: These typical examples are for planning purposes only. They represent a "best case scenario."
All timelines below are dependent on the current University Communications workload. For best results, plan far in advance. (See information on University Communications services availability.)
