The Production Artist takes from a designer a comprehensive, better known as a "comp," which could be an incomplete electronic file, images, or even a hand-drawn sketch of a designer's intention, and creates a mechanical — a complete digital file or combination of files that's problem-free when used for production.

The Production Artist is responsible for converting and translating customer submitted artwork into a press compatible format. The Production Artist maintains an effective and efficient workflow from the point the artwork is scheduled to the proof stage. The artist maintains direct and open communication with internal team and client to ensure the final art meets the clients and printers needs.
