Artwork Specifications

If supplying artwork for our digital magazine, we recommend that you merge all floating image files together, resulting in as little layers in your advert as possible. The more complicated your file, the more memory it will take (thus taking longer to load). It will also mean that your advert is at risk of not displaying as it should when the magazine is exported and published.
