Our Policy
All of our ad rates include all production costs, which means that we will take your instructions and do our best to create an ad that meets your expectations.

We also take ads from agencies or professional designers. We take “camera ready” art, but prefer that ads be given to us on disk. We can scan any artwork including fully built ads, but scanning an ad reduces the crispness of the text and pictures contained within that ad, which detracts from your work and the overall look of the magazine.

Technical Requirements

We use InDesign CS for all of our ad building as well as Adobe Photoshop CS and Illustrator CS. If you furnish a finished ad, please send it as a PDF file.  Be sure to include all fonts and image files contained within the ad if necessary. To insure accuracy, save all art as CMYK (no spot colors), grayscale and/or minimum of 300 dpi as appropiate.

If you furnish a finished ad, we would like an EPS version of the ad regardless of the creating program. This ensures that your work will remain intact, as an EPS cannot be easily manipulated. We will also accept a PDF file.

Along with the EPS, we need all the fonts (both printer and screen) contained in the ad in case we don’t have them all. We also ask that you provide us with the original document file and all the links so that in the event that something goes wrong we can make any necessary last-minute adjustments. We DO NOT open any documents unless there is a problem with the EPS file (such as not having all of the correct fonts). To insure color accuracy, please be sure all art is saved in CMYK (no spot colors, please).

In addition, we need a printed proof of the ad in order to compare our print-outs with the original art. We will also use a hard-copy proof as a final resort if we cannot access a disk file or reach anyone who can provide assistance.
