Clearly indicate which publication the ad is for. (i.e. January/February Michigan Municipal Review; July 2005 Directory Yellow Pages; 2005 Legislative Conference Program)

Color
Michigan Municipal Review is the only publication that offers color as an option in ads. Color is more expensive. Color is not available for ads in the Municipal Marketplace section of MMR. For the Municipal Marketplace section of MMR and all other publications, make sure your ad is in black only or gray-scale.

For print publications we can accept files created in the following software (software options are listed in order of our preference):

Illustrator (Version CS or lower)
Be sure to convert all the text to curves/outlines or also send the font files.

Quark Express (Version 5.0 or lower)
Make sure you include a list of the fonts you used and the actual font files, and send your company logo and any other images in your ad as separate graphic files (.tif or .eps extensions).

Photoshop (Version CS or lower)
Make sure you include a list of the fonts you used and the actual font files, and send your company logo and any other images in your ad as separate graphic files (.tif or .eps extensions)

For online display ads we can accept jpg or gif files
Online ads should use web safe colors only. They may be full-color. Online ads may not be linked to your website but may have your website address printed in the ad.

Other Software
For some publications we can arrange for you to email your file directly to our printer. If you are using a different software than those listed above and have a digital file for the Michigan Municipal Review please email artwork@mml.org for directions.
