Few companies can afford their own graphics design depatrments, and, of those who can, most would be better served by out-sourcing their graphics design needs rather than setting up their own departments. Historically, graphic design services have been out of reach for many businesses. Usually, the task of designing a corporate piece falls to clerical staff or, worse yet, senior management. Often, a printed piece is left to the "free" design services offered by the printer or publisher. This is an error. Printers are in the business of selling printing, publishers are in the business of selling ad space. Any design services offered are loss leaders usually, an after-thought at best, and of low effectiveness mostly. With printing and advertising costs spiralling ever higher, ensuring effectiveness becomes more and more important. It costs no more to print a well-designed, well thought out piece than to just print whatever. Printing presses don't care either way, and neither do most printers.
Just how "free" is an ineffective piece designed by a free service?
