A photograph of a printed leaflet for UAL Halls with a pink, black, and white color scheme. It features the title “Home (dis)Comforts” at the bottom and showcases various art and design pieces from University of the Arts London (UAL) students, including photographs of sculptures, textiles, furniture, ceramics, and garments, each with captions naming the artist, year, and course.

Keep formatting consistent throughout your document for legibility:

  • Allow enough space within the page and between lines of type.
  • Include a contents list so readers can find what they need quickly.
  • Give each new section a clear heading to help the reader find relevant content.
  • Use bullet point lists to break up text and keep things flowing.
  • Use our primary typeface, Helvetica Neue, in a minimum font size of 11.

If you’re using images of student work:

  • Do not crop or alter the images.
  • Avoid design elements or colour washes that detract from the images.
  • Properly credit all images.

Information in printed publications is liable to change and may become outdated:

  • Include a disclaimer: “All information is correct at the time of publication.”
  • If including links to external websites in your publication, also include the disclaimer: “UAL is not responsible for the content on any external websites.”

Make sure you've set up your document for optimal printing:

  • For standard resolution, ensure all printed images are 300 DPI (dots per inch).
  • Set the colour mode to CMYK, not RGB.
  • Submit a PDF file to your print vendor, rather than an InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop working file. PDF files encapsulate layouts and most fonts, so your print designs can’t be changed.
