Book a designClients and sales reps
  1. 1Sign in at the Client portal with the email address your access was approved for. We email you a 6-digit code; enter it to sign in.
  2. 2Choose “Book a design”.
  3. 3Pick the kind of work (print, digital or video), the publication or platform, and the size.
  4. 4Add your instructions and upload your material (logos, images, copy). For print, upload a print-ready PDF if you have one; the form checks its size and print settings for you.
  5. 5Choose the deadline and send. You’ll get a reference number (AD26-…) straight away, by email too.
  • Tip: Quote your reference number in every email about the job.
  • Tip: You can see everything you’ve booked under “My bookings”.
Track a jobAnyone with a reference number
  1. 1Open “Track a job” (no sign-in needed).
  2. 2Enter the reference number and the email address used for the booking.
  3. 3You’ll see where it is: assigned, in progress, out for proof, corrections or approved.
Review and approve a proofClients and sales reps
  1. 1When a proof is ready we email you a link. Open it (no password needed; the link is only for you).
  2. 2Check everything carefully: spelling, prices, dates, phone numbers and logos.
  3. 3If something needs changing, choose “Request changes”, then mark the spot on the proof and describe the change. Send it.
  4. 4If it’s right, choose “Approve”, then “Approve this proof”.
  • Tip: Approving confirms the advert is correct; it then goes to print or online as approved.
Book a shoot or license an imageAnyone
  1. 1Open “Photography” on our website to see the services and licence packages.
  2. 2To book a shoot, choose “Book a shoot” and tell us what, where and when. We’ll send a quote.
  3. 3To use one of our images, choose “License an image”, pick the image and the licence package that matches how you’ll use it, and send the request. We confirm it and send an invoice; once it’s paid you get a licence certificate.
