  10. The Methodist logo

  11. Methodist tagline • Our approved tagline, “Leading Medicine,” supports our position as a brand and conveys a message of strength and progress in our industry

  15. Logo dos and don’ts

  16. Choose the type of logo based on end use • Web – JPG • Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher – JPG, TIF or WMF (transparent background)

  17. Choose the type of logo based on end use • Professional Printing – PDF, TIF or EPS (transparent background) • (*Note: If a vendor requests an Illustrator file or a vector file, he or she is referring to an EPS. Although there are nonvector EPS files, all EPS files on the intranet are vector files.)

  18. Fonts • In the event that Helvetica Neue is not installed, Arial may be substituted

  19. Type treatment • Section title (main headline) – Palatino • Headings – Helvetica Neue or Arial • Subheadings – Helvetica Neue or Arial • Body – Palatino

  20. Headline treatment

  21. Colors

  22. Color combinations

  23. Working with color • CMYK Color • This acronym stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. CMYK is also known as process color, full color, 4 color, and 4c • The colors are versions of the primary colors, blue, red, yellow and black. They create full color images like you would see in a magazine

  24. Working with color • The Pantone Matching System® (PMS) • PMS produces a specific color. It contains hundreds of colors, light to dark, bright to pastel; each designated by a number • PMS colors are typically used in one and two color printing and are also called spot color or flat color • Inkjet and color laser printers are not able to produce PMS colors accurately

  25. Working with color • RGB Color • RGB stands for red, green and blue and makes up onscreen color. The RGB model is used for projects that will only be seen on a screen and not printed • RGB is the right choice for projects like websites, PowerPoint presentations and Acrobat .pdf files

  26. Color bands

  27. Creating a publication • Begin with the end in mind • What do you want to say? • Who do you want to say it to? • What is the best way to get your message out? • When do you need to get your message out? • What is your budget?

  28. E-mail distribution • Brand standards apply including font, color and logo usage • Convert Publisher and other attachments to a small PDF • Use an attention-grabbing subject line

  29. Print projects • Publisher templates are available for trifolds, newsletters, fliers and posters • Brand standards apply including font, color and logo usage • Stock photography is available in the Methodist Stock Photo Center

  30. Commercial printing • Talk to your printer before getting started • Image size and quality matters • Send final files as a high resolution PDF

  31. Break time • Launch Microsoft Publisher and open the publication.pub file and the Survey flier MTC.pub file the poster folder in your project folder • 15 minute break

  32. Working with images • How do I know if my image is big enough? • Images for print project should be at 300 dpi (dots per inch) • Here’s how to do the math Pixels/300= dpi

  33. Working with images • 2448/300= 8.16 inches • 1632/300=5.44 inches • The maximum size of this image at 300 dpi is 8.16 in. wide x 5.44 in. tall. • If a printer or vendor asks for a high resolution image or logo, this is what he or she is asking for.

  34. Microsoft Publisher exercise • Questions from the tutorial

  35. Creating a poster • Assignment: create a survey poster • Open the following flier in Microsoft Publisher: Survey flier MTC.pub

  36. Homework: creating a postcard sized flier • Assignment: update a flier created using the old brand standards to the new brand standards • Open the following flier in Microsoft Publisher: Primary Care Clinic flier.pub • You may send it to me for review if you want some feedback

  37. Using Adobe Acrobat • Many printers do not accept Microsoft Publisher files • Provide your printer with a high resolution PDF • When distributing a Publisher flyer by e-mail, convert to a small PDF
