On Friday 13 April, the Marketing & Communications and ICT teams presented information on future plans for the University's online presence at an event for all Uni staff.
Discussions ranged across improving our content management system, implementing a staff intranet, and a host of other topics.
The event was recorded and four videos, presenting each speaker's presentation, are available on the web forum page.
Printing on uncoated stock is new to the University and the effect that it has on images and publications is getting mixed responses.
This has as much to do with the images that are being used as the paper itself. Remember: quality in, quality out.
When printing on uncoated paper, there are a few recommendations and processes that should be followed including choosing images for printing on uncoated paper. This is because colours look duller when printed on uncoated paper.
Below is a process that we have found to be effective, based on recommendations from SOS Print and Media.
Hopefully you’ve caught a glimpse of the University’s new brand campaign, which has launched with a bang across our website, social media and communication channels. If you haven’t… stop… go straight to sydney.edu.au/what-matters and see first hand what it’s all about.
Greetings, all producers of written material at the University. Today I’d like to talk to you about URLs.
Nothing symbolises the uneasy marriage of web and print quite so well as URLs: uniform resource locators, or as I like to think of them, ugly referral links.
When we redesigned the University’s stationery for the rebranding in 2010, one of the most difficult problems we had was in the area of e-communications. The University has a strategic commitment to reduce the amount of printed publishing, so providing branded templates for e-communications was a clear priority.
Many of us make a conscious effort to print sustainably. Going green is certainly not easy when it comes to paper supplies. Green and recycled paper is often more expensive than virgin paper made from pulp sourced directly from trees.
For some time now, in Web and Print Production (WPP), we have been wanting to lean towards sustainable printing. So we thought what better way to start the new year than by jumping on the green bandwagon and shifting our print supplies from coated stock to uncoated recycled stock.
