Any Experience with Magazine Advertising?
The best way to reach a large pocket of my mainstream company's target audience is through a specific magazine. Reading their media kit's specifications for ads, I am confused by the language they use.
"... can accept advertising in the following Programs: QuarkExpress, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, ...." (Who capitalizes 'Programs'?) Cool, I have Photoshop CS5, so I can send them a PSD. Later, "Artwork should be saved as a JPEG, EPS or TIFF whenever possible." Make up your goddamn mind! Do you want an Adobe-specific format or a generic jpg? It looks as if they must have created their media kit a long time ago and have never updated it. There are more inconsistencies as well, and I have the feeling I'm going to have to call them, which I will not enjoy. It's bizarre that in today's digital age that they continue to have requirements about certain files needing to be created in Quark, which is such a tiny share of the digital market. Anyone have any experience with such things? Any tips? Can you clarify what they are attempting to communicate?

1 - They're called "Apps" you fossil!
2 - I've never worked with EPS but I know TIF files were recommended over JPGs to me in the past. How do I know? (yes, I know it's a jpg - tifs be HUGE) |

The site I need to advertise is mainstream. The big problem is that they use terms which probably make sense to people who work in print publishing, but not necessarily user-friendly to a newbie to such things.
