TEXT We strongly urge you to send any copy greater than 50 words electronically via Microsoft Word (.doc), plain text (.txt) or typed directly into the body of an email. We can also accept text and layout created in QuarkXPress. Handwritten text is acceptable if it is clear and legible. Please clearly indicate each description with its corresponding photo. |
|||||||||
PHOTOS/LOGOS Whenever possible, we prefer to receive images in electronic form. We can process most formats, including Photoshop, EPS, JPEG, GIF, BMP, PICT & TIFF files. Electronic photos should be at a resolution of 300 dpi at the size it is to be printed. If electronic photos are not possible, good quality printed material is fine. Logos must be submitted as either an EPS, TIFF or JPEG file or a clean printed version (i.e., business card) for us to scan. |
