In-House Advertisement Production

Atlanta Parent has a production department on-site for the creation of high quality advertisements. A one time production fee is charged based on the size of the ad. Materials required for production are as follows:

  • Photographs: Original photo are preferred for best quality, but high resolution (300+ dpi preferred ) images can be submitted via e-mail (PC TIFF files preferred)
  • Images: Logos, crests, clip art and other images can be submitted as camera ready (tear sheet) proofs or as digital images (200+ dpi, PC TIFF files preferred)
  • Fonts: Atlanta Parent works from a standard design palette of type faces. Requests for additional fonts must be pre-approved and the type face submitted via e-mail (True Type fonts only)

A fax proof will be provided to ensure the advertisement was designed to customer specifications. Corrections are permitted, however additional charges may be assessed for extensive redesign or editing.
