Classic Ads
Please use the following guidelines to create and submit your classic advertising artwork to us.
Submit Camera Ready Artwork
Please submit ads as high-resolution, CMYK .jpg files. PDF files are also accepted, but please make sure that all color and images are converted to CMYK and embed all fonts or convert to outlines before saving in PDF format.
On ads with bleed, please do not place text .5 inch from the edge of the ad. Otherwise, the text is at risk of being cutoff.
Do not include crop marks.
Please save your artwork in a file titled as your company name and date your artwork for which issue it should run in..
A minimum file resolution of 300 dpi is required. Low resolution logos and photographs pulled from the internet are not acceptable art for print. No PMS links are available. While we strive to match our client’s color specifications, we cannot guarantee a perfect match. No hardcopy proofs will be provided before final artwork is sent to print.
If instructions are not followed, Social Magazines will not be held responsible.
