FAQs

开始目录设计流程需要完成哪些准备？

需返还已完整填写的Directory Design Guide（第2-6页）、填写成本汇总（第5页）并按要求附上支票或汇票、准备封面与事工页及提交照片放入背袋、准备照片会信封并附额外图片，以及按适用情况提供花名册与事工工具单。

目录交付时间表如何计算？

目录样册校对与最终成书分别给出工作日要求：软封、螺旋、UV覆膜与背袋类通常校对15天、最终15天；组合装订在不同类型下校对15天、最终20天；硬装或完美装订为校对15天、最终30天；程序信用选项为校对与最终各10天。

有哪些目录设计方法可选择？

有三种：Express Method由图形设计师根据教会提交的图片和文字制作；Universal Design Method使用预设模板、背景色与纹理或Designer Series来设计事工页与封面；Church Designed Method由教会使用Photoshop、Publisher、InDesign或Illustrator自行制作，并导出为Acrobat PDF或带出血的300 dpi JPG文件。
