Your guide to personalization of your dairies Carpe Diem Diaries.

Optimising your personalisation space for your diary

This section is aimed at stream­lining the layout and proofing process as well as assisting you in optimising your personalisation space. If any of the concepts or terms mentioned below remains unclear to you, you are welcome to discuss it with us in more detail. It is also advisable to bring these details to the attention of the individual or company responsible for the design or preparation of your personalisation graphics.

The information required for your diary

The typical information in your personalisation slot usually includes your logo, slogan and company details. Apart from the relevant information, please also supply any formatting preferences, for instance the required font. Ensuring that all the information you supply is correct before it is placed electronically will benefit you in terms of enhanced flow of proofs. During the consultation with your sales consultant, your needs and options will be discussed, after which a check list is completed to ensure our field specialists have all the information relevant to your branding space. Our DTP-personnel will subsequently do the layout of your information according to the specifications provided.

Suitable graphic formats for the Carpe Diem Diary

Graphics include all artwork, such as your logo, your company name in a specific typeface as well as images. Artwork should be supplied in electronic format – you can either e-mail us or supply it to us on disk.

The following programs are used in our Carpe Diem diary reproduction department: CorelDraw, FreeHand, Illustrator, InDesign, PageMaker, Photoshop and QuarkXPress. Graphics supplied in any of the Microsoft Office applications are unfortunately unsuitable for printing purposes.

If your logo for your diaries is in pantone or spot colours, kindly ensure that the graphics are sent in eps or vector format. If such graphics are supplied in jpeg or tiff format, the artwork will have to be converted.

Lastly, keep in mind that Internet images are low quality (72 dpi) and therefore unsuitable for printing. The minimum requirement for print graphics for our diaries is 300 dpi and it should be the same size as the image to appear on the product. Minimising or enlarging images may detract from the quality.

Kindly consult the individual product specification for the exact measurements available for personalisation on each product.

Our precision policy for the Carpe Diem Diaries

The accuracy of your information is as important to us as it is to you. As such, we have developed a dual proofing system to ensure optimal accuracy.

Once our DTP-personnel have completed the layout of your personalisation slot, you will be supplied with a DTP or initial proof. Clients are required to check the proofs thoroughly, including all your company information, the colour allocation and the layout, before approving it.

Additionally, it is important to note that the colours reflected on the proofs are not an actual representation of the colours that will appear on the final printed product, since the colour structures involved in the different processes are not similar.

The next step in the process is producing a ripped proof, which serves as an actual size, layout example of what your product will ultimately look like. Once again, clients are required to scrutinise all details carefully.

Although all our products are subjected to detailed in-house proofing, we can unfortunately not be held responsible for any printed errors, incorrect or outdated information after you have given us your approval.

Ensuring colour accuracy on your printed product

Supplying the relevant pantone number or CMYK values is an easy way to ensure that your colours for your diaries and calendars are spot-on. The designer responsible for creating your company logo will be able to supply you with the relevant numbers or values. Alternatively, you can also supply us with a printed sample from which one of our trained professionals will be able to match the colours involved. This matching process is, however, unfortunately not accurate when done from laser printed samples.

Note that the end result in terms of colour is dependent on the type of paper used for printing. When an uncoated, matt-type paper is used, the paper tends to absorb the ink. When a coated, glossy-type paper is used, the glossy coat prevents absorption, which results in the ink drying on the surface. The colour difference thus results from the varying absorptive qualities demonstrated by the paper types.

What is a diary?

A diary is a record (originally in written book format) with discrete entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the course of a day or other period. Schools or parents may teach or require children to keep diaries in order to encourage the expression of feelings and to promote thought.

Generally the term is today employed for personal diaries, in which the writer may detail more personal information and normally intended to remain private or to have a limited circulation amongst friends or relatives. The word "journal" may be sometimes used for "diary," but generally one writes daily in a diary, whereas journal-writing can be less frequent.

Whilst a diary may provide information for a memoir, autobiography or biography, it is generally written not with the intention of being published as it stands, but for the author's own use

Diaries are highly varied, from business notations, to listings of weather and daily personal events, to inner explorations of the human psyche, to expressions of one's deepest self to records of thoughts and ideas.

By extension the term diary is also used to mean a printed publication of a written diary; and may also refer to other terms of journal including electronic formats.
