Design Services for Student Life

Generally it will take three weeks to get everything designed for your project. You will also ideally need two weeks to promote your event properly. When possible, please request art at least five weeks before the event. Timelines may vary, but this is a good general guideline.

To make a job request, fill out one of the 3 applicable request forms. The more information you are able to give about your event or request, the easier it will be for us to complete it in a timely manner. Art requests require up to a three week turn around time. Since you ideally need two weeks to promote your event, making requests at least five weeks prior to the date of the event is preferred.

Once we receive your request and a designer becomes available, they will be assigned to your project. We'll send you an email from a system called Wrike with either additional questions or to show initial designs and then deliver final art.

The designer will create an initial design for one of your project’s pieces. Once that piece is approved by you, the designer will generate the remaining pieces. If there are any changes to the design, they should be done before approval of the first piece. It saves time for everyone to change one piece before creating all the other pieces rather than making changes to multiple pieces.

When filling out the request form, you can include descriptions and links to what you have in mind for the design. If you don’t have an idea for a style or look for the project, we will generate one. The designer will create a layout based on information listed on the job request and within TWU brand standards. We want you to be happy with the end result, any direction you can give us on the front end is much appreciated and gets the job done faster for you.

Social media posts that don't require us to create art need to be submitted by Wednesday to be posted on TWU Events Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram the following week.

If you are interested in seeing your student organization as one of our Student Org Spotlights, fill out our Google form. Length of time between submission and posting will vary based on many factors, so we cannot guarantee a time frame.

Design Services for Student Life does not send art to vendors for printing in most cases. Each department sends their own art. Preferred print vendors can be found on the Special Procurements website. You can find listings for preferred vendors for promotional items on the Marketing and Communications website.
