I would like to participate but can you please clear some doubts about the dimension?

Is it..1.75 in x 1 in?

It's near to impossible to put all that info in that size, but I think I succeeded.

Image coming soon.

please be sure that the dimensions are 1.75 in. x 1 in

Hey,

I've put all the info into the 1,75 x 1,00 inch box. On my screen it was unreadable, and when I printed it on a piece of paper, it was unreadable aswell.

Are you sure the dimensions are correct?

I'll keep trying!

And btw, for those who allready posted.. post the images at the right size! Then you'll see that it's quite hard, or even impossible to read it.

Greetings,

them design look great,

i got a problem though when you shrink my design or the ones above, it is completley un readable, there isnot a chance to display all that info in such a small sized box, hence company keep it clear and precisece

i mean thats the actual size can you cut down the information some

this is more like it, this mroe like what you would get in and still look good

Just to add my two cents. I think when you create an ad at 300 dpi the print comes out better. I'm not sure why. So try making it 300 dpi? Besides it's a news ad so most people will be reading the paper up to their noses or with a magnifying glass lol. good luck all.

Semiperfectus

Jul 23rd 2008, 10:54 am

Impossible. I don't know how to do this, but I get unreadable text when I size it down. Is there anyone that succeeded?

You're kidding, right? Are you sure those are the right dimensions? I have tried and tried and when I get it all in there, it's just barely legible and certainly won't be eye-catching.

lilmikey

Jul 23rd 2008, 10:56 am

they sound right the dimensions , the reaosn its unreadable is becuase there is to much information he requires in the ad,

my advice is to cut the text , look at my one, text cut but design still looks good

dimitri123

Jul 23rd 2008, 10:57 am

Guys,make it 300 DPI.. You'll get the one like watari's image dimensions..

watari

Jul 23rd 2008, 10:58 am

just create in size 1.75 x 1 inch or 525 x 300 pixels with 300dpi.
thats standard for newspaper printing.

cyberone

Jul 23rd 2008, 10:59 am

Hello everyone I am really sorry. I wrote it wrongly. It will 1 in. x 1.75 in.

So far watari is ahead. Can you do it the size mentioned?

dulcenegosyante

Jul 23rd 2008, 11:02 am

I agree with watari, at 300 dpi, it works best. :)

@ watari, don't you think you should be putting a watermark to it because it's the actual printing size?

This one is the same as the 2nd but I added some line dividers for more appeal

Are you sure it's sohel_bift? He doesn't have an entry here. :confused:

He had entered through a private entry (PM)

Yes dimitri123.
It would be justified if a winning entry is posted in the thread
to see all those participated in this contest.

There is no meaning in hiding a designer's winning entry.

Jul 23rd 2008, 9:12 pm

I told him to not post my image because I have some private issues...I am really sorry for it.

I dont understand whats up with all these secret entries. All contest entries should be out in the open. As I have said previously this helps prevent using copyrighted images, other peoples work etc (Im not accusing sohel btw)

I'm in complete agreement with you here. sohel_bift has never won a contest
that I'm aware of, and he doesn't even have a single ITrader from any graphic
work - only selling ebooks. *sigh* ... oh well.

dimitri123

Jul 23rd 2008, 9:30 pm

lol.. "Private Isuue" with a design??

So,can we guess something from it? :)

Semiperfectus

Jul 24th 2008, 12:13 am

How can he have some private issues with his design? It's just the same text as ours right? Just show us the design so everyone knows you didn't nick one of the designs posted here, and people will do buisiness with you in the future.
