Project: Academic Catalog
Patron: trinity
Medium: QuarkXPress 5.0
Status: Draft 2.0
Deadline: July 30th

So we begin again with the beast - the 76 page academic catalog for tesm. My initial designs were approved I think around february, but now this is weaving in all the corrections and changes in time that it can be mailed out to the incoming class. I think we can certianly make the deadline, especially since I will be dedicating more time to this project starting next week. Though it does have a tendency to be tedious work, this is one of those projects that sits right on the right brain/left brain division. I'm organizing and designing simotaniously. But obviously not spelling at all. :) I really like this type of project, which makes me want to explore academic design more.

So this one was ready last week, but hit a snag at the printers. If they had gotten the PSD file initially, there probably wouldn't have been a problem, but because they didn't, DS and I learn all sorts of fun, under the hood type color issues related to two ink pieces. I can not believe how complicated it is to get a pantone channel and a black channel in a psd document. Or rather into the eps file you save it into. It was a bit of a surprise. It makes me wonder if the printers I know have been doing this step for me this whole time, or this particular printer is just not able to cope with what files we send them. I suspect the former.
