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.
