Submitting Copy for Designers

When preparing text for designers, please consider the following guidelines:

  • Submit final approved copy using the online Graphic Design Request Work Order at www.lewisu.edu/DesignWorkOrder. Acceptable formats are Microsoft® Word.
  • Make sure there are no double spaces after punctuation marks or anywhere else.
  • Label captions and copy that will be called out from the text.
  • Spellcheck all text.
  • You will have a chance to review two proofs of your project before going to print.
  • Remember: All materials produced in collaboration with outside vendors must be directed to the Office of Marketing and Communications for bid requests, editorial review, production requirements and design approval.
