My wife gets several designs a month that require a sponsor list be added to the design.

She sometimes spends hours setting them up.

What are you guys doing about this? Is there a way to place the burden on the customer in some sort of importable page.

Thanks

I usually ask the client to have the sponsors email me the vector art. I will also help her explain to the sponsors what vector art is if needed. If they don't have their logo vectorized we usually settle on just a written name under the logos. There is usually a handful that don't have a vector logo.

No prob with the vector art. I?m talking about lists of names in text format.

Needs to be set up alphabetical. Sometimes its 40 sponsors that need to be typed out

40 names that take hours to type does not make sense,
am i missing something (should not take more than 10 - 15 minutes)

i thought like savvytees3 did,
you were vectorizing each logo

Also not sure how 40 or so names takes hours. We create columns, usually center the text within the column and type away. 40 names would take 15 minutes, 20 minutes tops.

Names as sponsor logos is a dream come true. When dealing with actual logos, we usually end up tracing or creating them from a terrible internet jpg the client send. Now that takes hours.

What Splathead said^
Two columns of 13 names and one of 14 shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes.

I was incorrect about amount. Last one was 100 sponsors. But at any rate still a time consuming process with making sure you have them all and spelled correctly. Properly centered and such

Thanks

As you do with all the other file formats you deal with, have requirements for sponsor lists. Insist on a text file from your customer listing all sponsors. That way no retyping or worrying about spelling. Just cut and past into your graphics program.

This isn?t where I was headed. They usually just supply a hand written piece of paper and leave it to us.

I've done jobs with huge sponsor/participant lists; I'll leave the option with the customer like this - supply a text file - $25.00 art charge, give me a written list I have to type out - $125.00 art charge.
Haven't had to type a list of names in a LONG time!

LOL. Stupid phone posts.

I wanted to say this ?is? where I was headed.

Thanks.
