Requirements for Free Public Use...

The name "Penn State Pointers" and all "Penn State Pointers" graphics (or illustrations) are copyrighted by Penn State. All rights are reserved.

These Penn State Pointers are being made available as public education resources for publications, classrooms, and presentations when printed unedited and/or with all credits to Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences and Agricultural Information Services in place. The artwork cannot be resold or repackaged, in whole or in part, as commercial clip art or images without expressed written permission from Penn State.

These illustrations may be used in both traditional print and electronic publications and presentations as long as they are printed with all elements intact, and with either the title/credits "as-is" or with a title/credits sidebar.

The Graphic File Low-Down...

These Penn State Pointers were created in Adobe Illustrator and saved out as Illustrator .PDF or .EPS files. They should be able to be readily imported and/or placed in a number of applications such as PhotoShop, PageMaker, Persuasion, and others...

The PSP panels were sized specifically for print and newspapers. Horizontal graphics are 38 picas X 27 picas, vertical graphics are 24 picas X 36 picas. Both formats can be enlarged or reduced proportionately. A number of the PSP files have a suggested planning/publishing timeframe which may be cropped off or deleted. The sizes above include the actual graphic with its border only; they do NOT include the area with the date.

The only fonts used were the nearly standard Adobe Postscript Helvetica (Regular, Italic, and Bold) and Times (Regular, Italic, and Bold). They were NOT converted to outlines.

To download a complete InfoGraphic Archive, select that archive's graphics List. To download an individual InfoGraphic, you must go to that InfoGraphic's page to download.

The downloaded graphic file should appear as an ".EPS" file (for example: 01145c_b.EPS). The first two digits (01) represent the list number, while the remaining three digits (145) represent the press release number. If the letter a, b, or c follows the digits, it indicates that the graphic is one of several (up to three) related to the same press release. A _g suffix indicates a grayscale file, _b indicates black & white (or outline), and _c represents a color version. Our example (01145c_b.EPS) is from list #1, is press release number 145, is the third of three graphics related to the same press release, and is in black & white (or outline) format.

It All Depends On The Response...

Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences and its Information and Communication Technologies Unit initiated this project to provide graphic resources for publishers',
educators', and Penn State Extension Offices' outreach efforts.

We have been producing and distributing Penn State Pointers since 1997. All these
particular files were produced on a Mac, but we currently are supplying FTP files
in Illustrator .eps and .pdf formats for both Mac and PC/Windows platforms at:
