Digital Advertisements and Pictures

• Digital advertisement for Category Sponsorship
• Digital Photographic illustration for your info page. Producing Advertisements. The best quality will be achieved by producing the ad in Adobe Photoshop^TM and sending a copy of the original RGB colour document (.psd up to version 5.5) including all component layers, especially text layers, in editable state (i.e. not rendered or flattened).
• Size. Ads and pictures should be in the ratio W640 x H480 pixels little will be gained by making them larger providing resolution is good:
• Resolution may be as high as was set for print, at around 300 - 350 dpi, providing there is enough room on the media. Otherwise a minimum of 2OOdpi is essential. From this best possible starting point TouchFinder will be able to achieve the optimum screen image. (If, however, You provide us with finished jpegs or gifs, we will have little control over- quality.)
• All non standard Fonts used should be copied to the media, to ensure faithful reproduction. Quark Xpress^TM or Adobe PageMaker^TM files will only be accepted as a guide to the layout of an ad to be produced by TouchFinder in Adobe PhotoShop^TM. There may be a charge for this production service, depending on the ad's complexity.

Logos, Maps - Digital

• Logos and maps submitted in .eps format should be editable in Adobe Illustrator^TM version 8.0 and include on the media any fonts and bitmap artwork which have been embedded in the illustration. Here also the preference is for RGB colour mode, and Pantone^TM colours should be copied to and labelled in the swatch panel if they are required to accurately reproduce the logo as specified in your corporate design manual.

Photographic Prints and Transparencies

• Photographs submitted as prints should be minimum 5x7 inches (1 2.7xl 7.8mi-n). The picture should be well exposed with good contrast and tonal range.
• Transparencies submitted should be a minimum of 5x4 inches (12.7xlO.2nim), and clearly Marked with UoL/organisation name details, and which way to view. (Back/front etc)
• 35mm transparencies. We strongly advise against them - results are usually disappointing.
• Negatives of any size are not acceptable.

Logos - Line artwork/Printed

• Bromides/PMTs. Logos submitted in line form as bromides or as artwork must be accompanied by full Pantone TN colour specifications or RGB/CMYK values if we are required to accurately reproduce the logo as specified in your corporate design manual.
• Stationery, Logos sent printed on compliments slips or letterheads must also be accompanied by the colour reference numbers. This method often produces imprecise results depending on the printed logo size and quality of printing/paper and should only be followed if no better method is available. Generally speaking, the smaller the original scanned, the worse the result, For this reason we do not accept business cards or small logos printed on leaflets as logo artwork.

Acceptable Digital Media

• Zip^TM 1OOMB disk

E-mail attachment.
