To submit a camera-ready ad:
- Your ad must have the correct dimensions (see roster of sizes above).
- The resolution must be 300 dpi (72 dpi—standard web resolution—is NOT sufficient for print).
- All text should be at least 6pt minimum—or 7 pt minimum for white type knocked out of a colored background. We can't guarantee the legibility of text smaller than 6pt (without a magnifying glass).
- To get an accurate representation of how your ad will look in the magazine, print the ad out on paper at 100%.
- If you are using a QR code in your ad, print the ad out on paper at 100% and scan the QR code with a phone to test it (codes often appear larger on your computer screen and may work there, but break in print).
- Ads should be submitted in pdf format (pdf-x1a preferred) and sent to classifieds@harvard.edu by the advertising deadline of the issue you wish to appear in.
- If your ad does not meet the specifications noted above it is not camera ready and will be sent back to you to be fixed.
- If you have to correct and re-submit your ad more than 3 times, you will be charged a proofing and design consultation fee of $30.
