THINGS TO CONSIDER
• Quality over quantity. Focus on main points (title, date, time, location). Remember your ad will run for only 10secs. More text means there is a high chance the information will not be read before the next ad is run.
• No fonts smaller than 14px.
• For best results all images must have a 1” margins (dead space).
• Keep all text/ logos inside safe margins (to ensure important information is not cut off).
• Avoid using blurry or pixelated images.
• Images must be saved as a jpg or png file at 72 dpi.
• Save each file name by department and dimension size. Example. Filename: Creativelab.1080×1920(V).jpg
• Video format: mp4 accepted.
*Remember your design must meet image dimensions, size, resolution and file format. (No Instagram post sizes)
If your advertisement is not formatted correctly, we won’t run the ad, so please ensure that you follow the design guidelines!
• Provide written copy.
