If sending a Word document, please use spaces to get indents rather than tabs.

If your layout is not ‘traditional’ - i.e. a series of lines starting near or close to the right hand side of the page - but more ‘open-field’ or justified blocks etc etc, then send a PDF so we know how you want it to look.

Images

We’d really love it if you could send your images below 300KB. Smaller size images load faster.

For most images, you can reduce them without noticeable loss either with Photoshop or with a number of free tools:

(a) using your photo editing software (eg Preview/Tools/Adjust Size on a Mac), take the jpeg or png and reduce images ‘scaling proportionately’ to a maximum of 1200 pixels wide, or half that if the image only needs to stretch across half the page etc.

(b) while doing this, reduce resolution to 72 pixels/inch

(c) and/or put the images that result into www.tinyjpg.com to reduce size further

if your images have detailed text on them, get a crisp effect using PNG format at 300 pixels/inch instead. This may make for a larger image but we can live with it.

If it’s a problem, don’t worry - just send us what you have. But saving us time is much appreciated.
