If your organization doesn’t have an in-house designer, Monsoon‘s designer will develop printing materials. While this is a service to Wycliffe member organizations in Asia Pacific, we ask you to do your part in the development of the publication. We work with you but not for you.

Understanding Our Role

What WE WILL do

• Offer consultation on content and design ideas
• Connect you with possible resources that can help you
• Designing and layouting the publication for FREE
• If necessary, we can print in Manila and ship them to your country (shipping charges apply)

What YOU have to do

• Decide one person who will be the main contact from your organization to work with Monsoon
• Decide who will give approval (For example: your director)
• Collect photos and text for the publication
• Decide who will do proof reading (Monsoon can provide this if the material is in English)

What YOU have to pay

• Necessary cost for printing and shipping

Specifics

Software used by Oliver and Kenji:

• Adobe InDesign for layouting publications, stationeries and brochures
• Adobe Illustrator/Corel Draw to create vector images
• Adobe Photoshop/GIMP to manipulate photo images and fine touch up
