THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN CREATING AD...
§ Images
should be at least 300 DPI at full size and less than 8 MB per image. Images in
JPG/JPEG or PNG
formats are suitable
for use. Cell phone images are typically too small to reproduce in print.
§
After you upload your image to your gallery, you
can drag and drop it to the desired frame.
§
After placing the image, click on the photo to
bring up the editing tools. The buttons allow you to adjust a photo’s position,
zoom in or out, and add a border.
§ If
an image becomes too small, you will see a YELLOW warning that the image may
look grainy when it
prints. If you see a
RED warning, your picture cannot be used because it does not meet the print
specifications.
§
When adding text, you can edit the style of text
from the Text Tools box.
§ Make
sure you click “Save Ad” when you are finished.
§ Click
“Add to Cart” in order for your Recognition Ad to be place in the yearbook.
