How we can assist you
If you require any other marketing materials, publications or promotional items, that are not included in our managed process, we have a range of options to assist you.
1. Materials for internal audiences or limited distribution
Depending upon your needs and requirements you may wish to use one of our University Templates. This template library will be built over the next two months and will allow you to produce documents for staff and students such as invitations, e-newsletters, coversheets etc. Each template includes the University of Newcastle logo and can be downloaded for you to use.
By creating documents using a University template, you can avoid the costs associated of having your document designed for you. As most of the design work has already been done, you simply need to insert your specific information. It is a cost and time-effective way of creating professional documents. Once your document is complete you can print it on your own printer, or if you require a large quantities, please contact our Production Coordinator Renee Brown for advice on cost-effective printing solutions, via email Renee.Brown@newcastle.edu.au or phone 02 4921 5156.
2. Materials for marketing and external audiences
If you require publications or promotional items for marketing purposes and/or external audiences i.e. prospective students, business, industry or the community etc. we have appointed two University approved design agencies to assist you in the production process. These design agencies are experienced in working with our corporate identity and have the expertise to provide you with professional, cost-effective solutions to meet your needs. Please be aware there will be costs associated in having design agencies undertake this work for you.

Contact our Production Coordinator Renee Brown, via email Renee.Brown@newcastle.edu.au or phone 02 4921 5156.
Please tell them about any examples of existing work you think are similar to what you require. They might also ask you a range of questions to try and understand what you are trying to achieve, such as:
- Who are you talking to?
- What do you want them to do?
- What is your budget?
They will then suggest some options of how best to meet your objectives. When agreed, they will provide you with an estimate/quote, including all costs and a timeline for the delivery of your job. Please plan to allow a minimum of three weeks depending upon the size of your job.
