Design Checklist

If you are designing your own job, or having it done by an outside source you must follow the guidelines below.

Acceptable Formats
For photos and artwork, submit only TIFF, JPG or EPS regardless of the platform.
Photos should be at 300 dpi. GIF images, or images download from the internet will not work - the resolution is too low.

All color graphics and photos must be converted to CMYK format

We DO NOT accept the following: PICT, PAINT, RGB, or QuickTime.
Please note: Embedding unacceptable formats in an acceptable format does not make the final result useable.

We accept documents in the following programs - QuarkXpress, Pagemaker or InDesign

We DO NOT accept - Microsoft Publisher, Corel Draw or any card layout program.

Text should be submitted in Microsoft Word and saved as text or rich text format (rtf)
PLEASE DO NOT DESIGN A JOB IN WORD!

File Preparation Considerations
Did you use the correct "style" menu to create text styles (bold, italic, etc.), rather than correctly using the actual font in the "Font" menu?

Please include a minimum of a ¼ bleed an all sides that have a bleed.

Other things to remember
You must provide a composite proof (either laser or color) of the FINAL .

Colors: Process - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Spot or Pantone. Do not choose colors from your default pull down menus. These are usually done in RGB and must be converted to CMYK or spot color.

Photos - Make sure they are scanned and saved at the correct size and resolution of 300 dpi.

Please make sure you do not violate any copyright laws with the materials you submit. It is YOUR responsibility to check the legalities of what you want printed.

Remember - If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at 951-222-8585 or casandra.greene@rcc.edu.
