A promising gig producing promotional materials for a Nordic Film Festival in October.
“To give you an idea, however, we would like to print
- full-colour posters, size A3
- full-colour festival programmes, size A6, apprx.16 pages
- full-colour or two-colour flyers, size one-third of an A4, printed one
side or two sides.
If you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know about them
as well.”
Read the correspondance below for more details.
As usual, check with the group before making any enquiries – we definitely do not want multiple people phoning with the same questions. I first suggested this job to David as he was walking past my office at the time, so maybe start with David. (Hope that’s ok David?)

Hi Sanna,
great to hear from you.
We have a student consultancy that performs work such as yours and I am certain they would be most interested in the project. In addition to completing the design work, the students take the opportunity to negotiate directly with “clients” such as yourself. However, the students are currently on mid-year break, returning 20th July. I will attempt to contact some students to liaise with you but it could be that we may have to wait until 20th July.
The team completing the work will be able to provide you with all details regarding timing for design and production, and the associated costs. Even if the work does not commence before 20th July there should be no issues meeting your Oct 16 deadline. Any fees paid to the students are used to fund their final year exhibition.
Please feel free to phone if you want to discuss the project in more detail.

Dear mr Hinchcliffe,
I believe you were already contacted by the Finnish Embassy concerning
the desinging of visual material for the Nordic Film Festival. As my
colleague will be on holidays, I am currently taking care of the
arrangements.
We haven’t decided yet the exact sizes or colours of the materials, it
all depends on the prices and choices.
To give you an idea, however, we would like to print
- full-colour posters, size A3
- full-colour festival programmes, size A6, apprx.16 pages
- full-colour or two-colour flyers, size one-third of an A4, printed one
side or two sides.
If you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know about them
as well.
I understand that your students would be able to help out in the this
project? It would be great to be able to co-operate in this, however, we
might end up being short of time as we still haven’t finalized the
content of the materials. Would you be able to estimate how long it
would take for your students to design above mentioned items and what
possible costs it would have?
Thank you for your help in this – looking forward to hear from you!
Kind regards,

Dear Mitchell,
The Nordic Embassies are planning to organise a Nordic Film Festival in
Canberra and Sydney and the date they are aiming for is 16 October 2009.
We understand that your students can design the visual material that
goes with such an event, such as brochures, flyers, posters, etc
I would be grateful if you could advise if they can undertake such a
project, if so, how long would it take and what costs would be involved
