Acceptable Artwork Formats

It is strongly preferred that artwork is created in one of the following programs:

• Adobe Illustrator CS3 or lower
• Adobe InDesign CS3 or lower

If it created in one of the following programs, please include an .eps format along with the submittal

• Adobe PhotoShop CS1 or lower
• Quark XPress v.6
• Macromedia Freehand v. 10.0
• Adobe Pagemaker v. 6.5
• Corel Draw v. 13 or lower

For Logos, the preferred file format is Vector Art .eps (Illustrator) because of its scale-ability, smaller file size, and it is considered camera ready. 

For Ads that will be printed in the Program Book, the preferred file format is InDesign.

To ensure a quality art file make sure you convert fonts to outlines and create your graphics as vector art.  Please note that a graphic imported into Illustrator or Freehand .eps is not considered a vector .eps file.

Bitmap.eps,.tif,.pict, .jpeg, .gif (Photoshop, Photopaint, etc.) may be sent at a reasonably high resolution.  All bitmap line artwork should be at least 1000 dpi, while 300 maximum dpi can be used for color halftones or grayscale artwork.  The artwork should be at exact size and the dpi should be double the final line screen.

If you are scanning your artwork, the Photograph and Image resolutions containing half-tones should be scanned no less than 300 dpi.  Line Art (black and white) resolutions should be scanned no less than 800 dpi.

The following files are too abstract and not efficient:

• Microsoft Word Documents
• Power Point Documents
• .jpeg files
• Black and white .tif files scanned at less than 800 dpi
• Multi-color .tif files
• Files that are not camera ready
• Files sent with missing fonts (If fonts are not converted to outlines and the sender does not include a printer and screen font, the art will not print properly.)
