UTAS produces and distributes a large and varied range of publications, brochures and marketing collateral to local, national and international audiences. Some of our marketing material promotes our range of course and study opportunities, other material has a corporate focus, however all UTAS marketing collateral promotes and reflects the UTAS brand and reputation.
To ensure a consistent and professional approach that enhances our brand, brochures, publications and marketing collateral must be produced by the University’s agencies and must comply with the Visual Standards Style Guide - correct application of these guidelines will avoid costly reprints.
The following information provides a guide for developing marketing collateral and it is very important for all staff to be mindful of the international compliance requirements – details are provided below.
Brochures, fliers, publications and banners promoting courses, study opportunities and other services that are primarily for the purpose of recruiting students are frequently displayed as a suite of materials at expos, events and in on-campus and off-campus displays.
In order to present a consistent, professional and recognisable appearance, these materials should align with the University’s design templates. These design templates have been developed to provide a consistent and recognisable shell structure across the header area and left hand margin, but to ensure flexibility to tailor the material for the message being communicated.
Both UTAS agencies have the templates and specifications for producing these materials. Examples are provided below.
