Curious how far in advance to plan your project?
Below are estimated timelines for a variety of print and digital projects. Your project
manager will work with you to develop a timeline and production schedule.
The production cycle for a project will depend on the type of project (print vs. digital),
how much design work or writing is involved, and how long it takes to receive your
feedback/approval.
Note that these timelines are estimates. Projects may take more or less time depending
on other current projects. Also, missing deadlines or having extensive revisions may
delay your project’s delivery date.
