Producing electronic/digital media has been greatly simplified. Making the production of materials easier is great, but the downside is that not everyone is a designer or has had training and/or experience in producing materials.

As publications are one of the key marketing components of the university, it is important that they be used effectively. It is important to remember that the university must present a consistent, uniform and professional image.
