1. Ad Size
The ad's finished size.
2. Bleed Zone
Graphic elements or color that you would like to extend to the edge of the ad need to continue out 1/8". Printing equipment can move the page slightly and the extra 1/8" accommodates this movement.
3. Margin
Keeping text within this area ensures it will appear without being cut off or too close to the edge.
4. Image
Use high resolution photos and graphics (300 pixels per inch for magazines, 180 pixels per inch for the newspaper).
5. Color
Use a mixture of light and dark colors to add contrast. Only use process colors (CMYK). Avoid spot colors, but if necessary, convert.
