Cover Ads
Please call or email the Design Department for inside or back cover specifications

Suggestions

Use a minimum of text. Use a large graphic image if possible. Ads that are visually appealing and simple to read are more memorable. Keep in mind that ads will have up to a 30% gain in the midtone range, so photos need to be of high quality and in focus.
