Before ordering
Before ordering
Always start by contacting your local communication partner, who will assess the scope of the task and advice you whether assistance from a graphic designer is needed.
Before ordering
Before ordering graphic design work, please consider the following questions. This makes the process faster, better and more flexible.
- What is the primary message?
- Which is the primary target group?
- Who is the sender?
- How do you envisage the final product (type, size, scope)?
- What is the narrative form (stylistic, youthful, graphic, fact-based etc.)?
- What is the image style? Is it necessary to book photographers, or will you supply your own images?
- Prepare a flatplan/table of contents specifying all the content
- Agree how files, documents, updates will be supplied (WeTransfer, Google Docs, local shared drive?)
- Who is the project manager, and who is the final decision-maker?
- Estimated budget/time consumption?
- Deadline?
- Agree follow-up meeting, if necessary, once the product has been delivered

Checklist for supplying material
Before starting work on the layout, it is a good idea to check the following requirements:
- All text content must be submitted in one folder, or in a single Word document (with clear page numbering), as well as X number of Excel sheets (with corresponding page numbering).
- The body text must be proofread by a native speaker. If a decision-maker needs to approve the linguistic content, it is a good idea to do it at this stage.
- The table of contents/flatplan must be supplied as an Excel file, and the number of pages should generally be divisible by four (12, 16, 20 pages...).
- All figures, tables and graphs must be supplied in Excel format, ideally with dummy artwork if figures need to be produced.
- Highlighted quotes must be simple and concise; facts and key figures must be double-checked for accuracy.
Payment for graphic work
Payment for graphic work
All graphic tasks at faculty, department and center level are invoiced on an hourly basis, currently DKK 560/h, and are paid via internal invoicing. For larger tasks, a package price can be agreed.
Graphic proofreading is generally not invoiced. Graphic proofreading is when a unit at a faculty has created a graphic layout itself and wants it reviewed for graphic proofreading by our graphic designers. Only for very large proofreading tasks can there be an issue of invoicing.
