The PCS Composite Program

Welcome to University Photography's composite program. We would like to thank you for your interest and look forward to working with you on your composite board. 

We are very proud of our PCS program.  This program has been put in place to deliver a perfect composite board to you within 45 calendar days (not business days).

We offer more colors (32), more fonts (14), and more composite types than any other company.  We offer indoor and outdoor photography, and can also offer green screen technology.  University Photography offers you the most options, fastest speed, and highest quality of any other composite company.  This is why over 99% of our customers come back each year.  While the other companies compete over price, we compete with quality and service and still beat most on price. 

Speaking of price, do you know what you are paying for your composite board?  Do you think it is the price quoted on our competitors contract, we bet it isn't.  Our competitors charge a sitting fee, a frame fee, an extra officers fee, a shipping fee, etc.  In most cases their $16 sitting fee is really closer to $25 per person.  Our is a one time, no hidden fee, sitting fee.  Our quoted sitting fee is just that, one price per person for a delivered composite board built just the way you want it.  NO HIDDEN FEES!

We have been working with fraternities, sororities and professional organizations on their composite boards for over 30 years. We know how important composites are to you and your organization and we will work with you every step of the way to create the ideal board for your organization.  We are a fast growing, technologically advanced company with old-style craftsmanship.  Check us out.

 

Our Composites

PCS offers two different styles of composite board: the Digital composite board and Traditional composite board. Both board styles are put through a very detailed process; the only difference is your preference of what style you wish to have for your organization.

We start each and every board by creating a digital version to help aid both you and PCS in our proofing process. Once we have the portraits taken and the board created in the layout and colors you have chosen we will send you a proof via email with a link to our website, for your organization to look over. Once your organization has approved the layout, (checked spelling of the individual’s names and titles, etc.) we will then go through our final check lists to create your board. Once each board is finished we will seal and frame each board with acrylic plexi-glass with ultra-violet filtering and frame of your choice.

Traditional Composite Board

The traditional board has a three dimensional feel and look to it. Each board is hand made by our staff to make each photograph stand out from the background. Once we have received the final version of your composite each of the individuals names, titles and your organization’s crest are carefully transferred onto the matboard. Next we take each photograph and place it on an underlay, which raises the photograph off the matboard creating a 3-D effect to the entire board. We then carefully secure the photo and underlay on the matboard.

Digital Composite Board

Our digital board is compressed into one layer; the underlay, portraits and crests will be of highest quality, but one solid image. One benefit is the board itself is less likely to show wear and tear, since it is in one piece you will not have any problems. Also, with this style, you will have more options in the design and layout of your board. For example you will be able to have drop shadows on your portraits and/or crests. Another benefit is that it is cost effective for those organizations just starting out that may have a smaller budget for their composite.
