Dude, why would you think I don't know this, I've advertised in ads before, and the person doing this already knows about the ad optimization for a news print.. lol.. Also I think I specified this in the first post. Listen, I got someone now doing the ads at a reasonable rate, and they look good, please dont email me looking to pass your services, this sub can be closed.

When the edition comes out you are going to open the paper with great excitement, find your ad, and discover "Hey, wtf? Why does it look like shit? It looked so good the other day?". The reason that it looks like shit is because the graphics design "genius" that you hired to do it so cheap didn't realize that print ads need to be made using 300dpi instead of the digital standard of 72dpi. Also, they didn't optimize the colors or shading for the newspaper's carbon processing...... THAT is why professionals charge more, not because we are trying to "scam a newbie". There is a lot more to print design than meets the eye  |
