A custom layout offers the flexibility and creativity you need to express exactly what you want in print. Your concepts and ideas can serve as the starting point from which the design staff will create an attractive, eye-catching color print piece.
A custom layout can have as many photos as you desire, positioned as you choose, accompanied by the graphics, logos, textures and special effects of your choice.
Today’s digital layout and image manipulation software allows our design staff to create or duplicate countless styles, renderings and effects. We encourage you to provide us with examples of the types of design elements and effects you may have seen and want incorporated in your printed piece. The careful use of special design effects can give your printed piece that professional look and get your business or event the attention it deserves.
Some of the countless effects available are:
Drop Shadows
Custom Photo Edges
Shape-Masking
Paint-Like Photo Effects
Color Gradients and Blends
Metallic inks
Varnishes
Background Textures
Our text styles include:
Neon Glow
Text Wrap
Enveloping
Embossing
Beveled Edges
Type on a Path
Ghosted Type
3D Effects
We will provide you with a preliminary proof of the layout and will make any changes you wish from there. Once you approve the layout, a high-resolution color proof is provided which closely approximates what your print job will look like.
If you wish to provide your own custom layout, the design and prepress department is prepared to accept a variety of disk and software applications. We support both Macintosh and Windows platforms. Be sure to read the guidelines, on the two pages linked to below, for details on how to prepare your files for printing.
"The brochure has been a big success. Visitors walk in with them in hand wanting to see beautiful Halfway Lake and Resort. I have more reservations on record for winter and next summer than I have ever had. The brochure is a true representation of the quality and beauty here. I knew what I was looking for and Sault Printing was able to put it on paper with just the right words."
