CONTENT AND IMAGE SPECIFICATIONS

The advertiser supplies both the image and the ad copy. AFAR designs the Exchange ad, randomly chooses page positions, and makes copy corrections deemed necessary by our design and editorial guidelines.

Copy Requirements

The word counts noted above include your headline, descriptive body copy, and contact information. Contact information is in bold.
If your copy exceeds the maximum word count, AFAR’s Editorial Department will cut and edit your copy at their own discretion.

Image Specifications

Advertiser supplied images must be calibrated to SWOP (Specifications for Web Offset Publications) standards for consistent press reproduction within the AFAR Exchange section.

Resolution: 300 dpi (dots per inch)
Color Mode: CMYK (not RGB)
File Format: TIFF
Please note that AFAR does not retouch, silhouette, or otherwise manipulate supplied images.

Logos

The clean layout and formatted structure of AFAR Exchange does not allow for logos to be used in place of copy or in addition to an image. If an advertiser requires display of their logo, it must be included within the one image allowed. Exception: 1/4 horizontal unit can accommodate a logo for the second image.
