Creative Services offers expertise in graphic design and web development for Case marketing and communications projects across campus. Serving as the in-house agency for the university, we have been producing effective, award-winning pieces for our clients since 1970.
Design
Our graphic designers design both Web and print projects, working with you to present your message in a format that reflects the best features of your department and program. Designers need to know as much as possible about your audience and budget, and welcome your input regarding color, texture, and even typography preferences within branding guidelines. Just keep in mind that providing too many preliminary sketches, layouts, or requirements usually makes the design process less productive. Please provide approved copy when submitting your job to ensure the fastest turn-around.
Photography and illustration
Our staff photographer offers the following services:
Head shots
Event coverage
Quality pictures of your labs, research, offices, staff, etc. for print or Web
Images can be provided as .jpg files via email or CD-ROM, or as paper prints.
We do not have full-time illustrators on staff, but we regularly commission the work of outside talent. In the past thirty years, we've developed a diverse network of artists that we know and trust.
Production
We solicit cost estimates for our printed pieces from commercial suppliers with established track records for service and craftsmanship. (University Printing Services does not bid on publications office projects.) In conjunction with client departments, we identify the best printer for each job, review and circulate proofs, ensure on-time delivery of the finished publication, and process invoices.
Writing and editing
The communications group within
Marketing and Communications has a staff of writers available
for projects requiring new or revised copy.
