• For large print or digital projects, allow at least 12 weeks from start to finish. Examples include brochures, newsletters, annual reports, and multi-piece projects (e.g., an event requiring a poster, program, postcard, and header).
• For smaller projects, allow at least four–five weeks from start to finish. Examples include event invitations, postcards, flyers, emails, and landing pages.

Allow up to 15 working days in addition to the design cycle mentioned above.

In addition to design and print time, delivery time should be considered as a factor when planning a project. The amount of time needed depends on a number of variables including postage (non-profit, first class, etc.). Estimates of delivery time will be provided on a project-by-project basis.

Timeframes needed to create and edit website content vary depending on the scope and current UMC project load.

UMC offers a headshot service to full-time faculty and staff:

• To best represent NPU’s accomplished faculty and administrators to the public.
• To keep our website fresh, current, and up to date.
• As a courtesy to ²ÝݮӰÊÓ’s professionals.

How to Request Headshots
Please open a Jira ticket to let us know you want a headshot. We will either follow up to schedule an individual time for you or keep you informed about upcoming headshot opportunities.

Recurring Headshot Opportunities
UMC organizes occasional opportunities for faculty and staff to have headshots taken in bulk. These are often held on Gathering Day or when many faculty and staff are on campus. If you inform us of your interest via a Jira ticket, we will inform you of opportunities.

Department Headshot Sessions
If multiple people in your department need headshots, we are happy to schedule a group time for headshots for you all. Reach out via Jira to schedule.

Contact
Lindsey Post Robinson, UMC Operations Manager, handles headshots. Reach her at (773) 244-4864 or lcpostrobinson@northpark.edu.

For photography requests, please allow a minimum of two weeks to schedule a photographer. ²ÝݮӰÊÓ does not have a photographer on staff so we are generally not able to fulfill last-minute requests.
