Thank you to those who have responded so far. I think I wasn’t clear enough in my request as many of you are offering design services (thank you, by the way!).
We’re really curious to know who on campus already has these resources embedded in their colleges/departments so when we are asked, we can refer them back to that person or people within their own area.
For example:
Alice Dodgson approaches ORE’s Research Development Team and asks for assistance creating an exploded graphic to go in her $950K NIH proposal. We do not have the expertise to help
her, but know that her college, Nursing, has a graphic designer on staff that is capable of working on these types of things. We refer Alice to the CoN designer.
Does that make more sense and do any of you have someone like that in your college/department/division to whom we could refer your faculty when they come to us?
Thanks again!
Erin

Subject: [CAMPCOMM] In-House Graphic Designers
Hi All,
We’ve had a question pop up in our office about graphic design capabilities on campus recently – not necessarily designers for publications like annual reports, brochures, magazines, and the like, but quick
turnaround jobs.
From time to time, ORE is asked to provide graphic support to proposal teams or faculty publishing in journals who wish to create compelling graphics. It would be helpful to be able to know if certain colleges
or departments have these capabilities in house so we can reroute those requests back to the proper people. As it stands, ORE does not have a graphic designer, so we end up either telling these people to try Creative Services or that we do not know how they
can obtain what they’re looking for outside of contracting with a design firm.
I’m looking for answers to these questions:
1.
Do any of you hear this from your faculty?
2.
Do you have in-house designers that provide services like this for your faculty?
Thanks in advance!
Erin
