Brochure is Printed

Week 7 High-Lights: Completed & Printed Brochure

            Week seven of my internship was also very productive towards the new and improved brochure of the High Plains Food Bank. Not only did I get my brochure approved by Broc but was also able to find a printing company to print it for us at the best price offered.

            I was very pleased with the final brochure, as was Broc. I believe we both knew I was getting closer and closer to what he wanted and expected because sooner the corrections for the brochure got smaller and smaller. In fact, when I finally gave him a brochure that was exactly what he wanted he went from office to office showing off the new brochure!

            My next task was to get it printed. I called over twenty-five printing companies in Amarillo and got rates for each of them. I needed it printed on a glossy tough paper at regular paper size and a four color level scale- all of these attributes played a factor in price. I learned that mentioning it was for the High Plains Food Bank allowed us to get discounts from many printers. I found the best deal and sent them a PDF of my brochure. In less than a week, we had our order ready and the finished product is still being used today!
