MARKETING: ART REQUESTS The Marketing Team
The Marketing Team at the Center for Campus Life is a group of RIT students with a variety of design skills. We are designers, illustrators, and creative thinkers that help you get your clubs, organizations and events noticed! We take pride in our work and love to see it around campus. If you have feedback or we miss the mark with your request, let us know. It’s a collaborative process, we need you too!
Art Request Deadlines
Art requests must be filled out at least 2 weeks prior to the date you wish to distribute. This doesn't mean 2 weeks prior to the actual event. DO NOT put the deadline as the date of the event. You will need to advertise in the days leading up to your event, so please keep this in mind when requesting artwork. The Marketing Team will contact you with questions and proofs. You must respond to emails in a timely manner to ensure that your request meets the deadline.
The Art Request System
The Art Request System can be found on the Center for Campus Life homepage (www.rit.edu/campuslife) under Quick Links. You can request artwork for a number of categories including flyers, postcards, social media posts, tickets, LCD ads etc. If you would like to request a different category, select “Other” and describe your request in the description box. Always make the description box as detailed as possible. Information about the event and/or design request will help the Marketing Team better understand what you are looking for.
LCDs Advertisments
LCD ads are shown on the televisions of the Campus Center Lobby, Club Center, and SAU above Ben & Jerry’s If you already have artwork designed and would like it placed on the LCD screens, you must upload the appropriate file. LCD slides must be formatted horizontally (preferably in a 16:9 aspect ratio, but and landscape 11”x 8.5” flyer will work). If you upload poster/flyer art files (.psd, .ai, .eps, editable .pdf) we can reformat them to fit any type of advertisement. Jpegs and pngs are not editable, therefore we cannot reformat them.
Social Media / Calendar Ads
You can also request that your event be put on the weekly window calendar at the Campus Center entrance (Breezeway calendar), or be shared on the EventsAtRIT facebook/twitter pages. These requests are not guaranteed and are fulfilled at CCL staff discretion based on the number of events that day and week.
Prints
Every club gets 200 FREE black/white flyers per year, printed at the HUB with an Expense Approval Form. Visit the Club Center to complete the EAF.
