IDNR will approve the final proof DEVELOPED BY THE VENDOR when developed as part of this scope of work. The vendor product does not need to utilize any of the mock up draft materials so long as IDNR approves of the final proof. There is no current preference for colors, fonts, or layout as that should be developed by the vendor for review.
