    (This advertisement is not for me but for a client of mine. So don't try to contact with me via any of the following addresses)

    Here is the things you have to write (as ordered)

    6+ Guaranteed
    IELTS (IMPACT Recommended, but you have better fonts you can use it)

    You must be creative and note that it will be black and white.

    Size : 1 Col 1 Inch
    1 in. x 1.75 in.

    Do it in a larger shape like 3x the real size. Thanks.

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

    Image coming soon.

    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,

    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

    [​IMG]

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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?
