ADVERTISER FAQ
Good files in.
Great work out.
Questions about a specific project? Our art department is happy to review your files before deadline.
Can Cityview design my ad?
Yes. Ad development is a flat $500 for standard sizes and includes basic design, CMYK conversion and a digital proof. Two revision rounds are included.
Can I supply my own ad?
Absolutely. Supply a press-ready PDF/X file that follows the production requirements in our Design Center. Simple rescaling may be available when the artwork and permissions are in order.
What files do you need to design an ad?
Send your logo, high-resolution images, key copy points, contact information and clear creative direction. Even a rough sketch can help communicate the intended look.
Can I use photos from my website or phone?
Website images are usually too small for print. Phone photos may work when they are well lit and large enough. The art team can review images for print viability.
Will I approve the ad before it runs?
Yes. Cityview sends a digital proof, and every ad must be approved by the client before placement and printing.
