preparing your ad Student Life provides basic advertising design services at no additional charge. However, some of our advertisers choose to submit their ads to us already completed. Sending your files to us electronically allows us to bypass the need for scanning artwork, and ad slick or a laser printout of your ad – and this ensures that the final printed version is of the highest possible quality. Follow these instructions when preparing your ad for publication. PDF files are the preferred format for all ad submissions. However, we are able to accept ads in Adobe InDesign CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3. Ads should be sized to the exact column widths shown here. If using Illustrator or InDesign, please convert all text to outlines to minimize any font errors. Photoshop files must be flattened and submitted at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.

We DO NOT ACCEPT ads in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Publisher nor do we accept web file formats (GIF or JPEG) or faxed artwork. These types will generally not reproduce well in print and should not be submitted.
 
Ads submitted in unacceptable formats will be redesigned as closely as possible by our staff. We suggest you request a proof to ensure your satisfaction.
 
If you have elected to have our staff design your ad, you may submit your ad copy in Microsoft Word.
