Guidelines for College Publications
As Pulaski Technical College is working to have a cohesive look in all publications, the Public Relations and Marketing staff must approve all official college publications before they are printed and can be used in an official capacity for the college. Please contact the Public Relations and Marketing office as soon as possible with your publication needs to ensure that there is ample time to finish your project prior to your deadline.
Our staff will be happy to help you design your official college publication(s) to have the same feel as other college publications, with your ideas and input having a strong impact on the finished product. We will help you create a high-quality publication with your budget in mind, as our on-staff professionals are always ready to help.
Publication Deadlines*
Contact Tim Jones, Director of Public Relations and Marketing, or Amy Bonds, Creative Services Manager, as soon as you know that you will be needing a printed publication. If at all possible, this should be at least six weeks prior to when you need the completed publication in your hand. (Public Relations and Marketing staff will set timelines for collegewide publications.) Once you have contacted us, we will schedule a meeting with you that will help identify the specific promotional and production needs for the publication or event, such as posters, postcards, programs, photos etc., as applicable. During this stage, we also will identify potential problems or issues that might arise from a printing technical standpoint.
Five weeks prior to the date the publication is needed, we will need all your information for your publication in order to create a design to meet your needs. During the first three weeks, we will put together a draft(s) and submit it to you for approval or adjustments.
Two weeks prior to printing, our office will generate the final draft of the publication for department/division and vice president approval, coordinate printing contracts with vendors and submit the final document for printing. Completed publications will be delivered to your department via Shipping and Receiving.
* The timeframes given here are generalized to the scale of a typical small brochure project. If your project seems to be on a larger scale, you should be aware that it could take longer to produce than the timeframes mentioned here. We realize that there will be instances when this timeline must be adjusted due to the time sensitive nature of certain projects. But please be aware that the sooner you submit a job to the Public Relations and Marketing office, the better chance you have of your job being completed by your deadline.
