Advertisement Sizes
Artwork at 300 dpi in .ai, .psd, .eps, .tiff or .pdf. JPGs must be saved with no compression. RGB images are converted to CMYK, so minor colour shifts can occur. Ad design is included — extensive design work is $50/hour and most ads never reach it.
2026/27 Material Deadlines
Material is due by the 21st of the month for most editions. Insertion cannot be guaranteed for artwork received after the deadline.
