Artwork

Please supply artwork as press-quality PDF using Adobe's “export> Adobe PDF (print)” settings (use .AI or .EPS vector logos and/or masthead artwork in your ad layout; photographs or book cover images should be greyscale mode, no spot or process colours, 300 dpi, fonts embedded) or as a high resolution .TIF (greyscale mode, 300 dpi, LZW compression recommended). Text-based ads are usually best suited to PDFs, whereas image-based ads are best suited to TIFs.
