The Visual Media Department consists of a team of graphic artists, photographers and visual librarians working together to provide a wide variety of visual media for the Department of Energy.
If you have need of our services and you are located at either of the Forrestal Building or Germantown complexes, submit a completed Request for Print, Mail and Visual Media Services HQ F 1420.7. Please follow the instructions provided, print and sign the form, then deliver it to us. The form MUST be signed by a Federal employee of DOE before the project can be started. The signature is our authorization to spend budgeted funds necessary to satisfy your requirement. Additionally, it is the requestor’s certification that the work requested is necessary to conduct official DOE business and that the requestor is a Federal (not a contractor) employee of DOE.
You may also send the completed form to us by email by e-mailing graphics@hq.doe.gov. However, because of the authorization and certification issues already mentioned, it will still be necessary to visit our office to sign the work request.
Certificates, Plaques and Special Awards
We can supply you with certificates that cover all the official Departments' awards. Whether it is for an employee with many years of service, a retirement, or a job well done, nothing looks better than a well designed, personalized certificate or plaque. We can have your plaque designed and personalized for any event. Just give us a day and we can work wonders. We can turn around most projects in 24 hours.
Design Presentations
Are you tired of fill-in-the-blank PowerPoint presentations? Then let our creative and talented staff design your next presentation. Just give us your rough ideas and let us work our magic. With today's fast computers and drawing programs there is no limit to what we can do.
High resolution scanners let us add photos. Photoshop software enables us to enhance or modify photos to fulfill any need. Color printers provide us with a limitless color pallet. Our font libraries include hundreds of fonts. Output devices allow us to vary the media to be used.
Enhance and Print Your Files
If you have a file that you have created yourself or had prepared somewhere else we can provide you with high quality output on a variety of media. We are able to support most major software programs. If we do not have a particular program, we can guide you through the process of creating a Postscript file or PDF file. If your project needs to be enhanced, one of our staff members will be happy to supply the finishing touches. Some processes take longer than others, we will do our very best to meet your deadline.
