GRAPHIC DESIGN ASSISTANCE

All of these marketing resources require specifically sized artwork, or it simply can't be used. If you decide to take advantage of any of these and need design assistance for the artwork, we recommend meeting with Signum Design. They are a student-run design firm located in the Kent Student Center, which is available for no charge to student organizations. Signum Design does all of the design work for the Center for Student Involvement, and they do a great job.

Plan ahead when utilizing Signum or any other design firm. You'll want to get your project started with a designer at least 3-4 weeks before the artwork deadlines outlined below.
