It goes without saying, "Your success is our success." At Design Innovation it is our aim to put together a digital presentation  that makes you and your business look the best they can on the big screen.  We have found that the following guidelines work best for digital advertising slides.

          Text

• It is highly recommended that you limit the number of words in your ad to 15 words or less.

          Please keep in mind, your slide only shows for 10 seconds.

• Recommended fonts:  Arial, Verdana, Roman, New Times Roman, and the like. Stay away from script or specialty fonts, as they are not easily read.
•  
• Font sizes to be used:  24pt and up.
•  
• Font should be set to BOLD print.
•  
• Text color should be selected based upon high contrast i.e., yellow on black or white on dark blue, etc…
•  
• Text that overlays graphics, photos, pictures, or lighter backgrounds should be outlined.

          Background

• First, set your document background to black. (See dimensions below)
•  
• Second, layer your desired background over the black document page. (See dimensions below)
•  
• Third, DO NOT "stretch" your background into the black margin areas at the top and bottom of your document. Your custom background may "stretch" from side to side, but not top to bottom.
•  
• Remember: backgrounds should not distract from your ad. Choose carefully as what looks “cool” on your computer screen maybe overpowering on a forty-foot movie screen.
•  

         Graphics

• Choose graphics carefully!  They need to support your message not distract from it.
•  
• Graphics must maintain at least a 300dpi resolution whether scanned or photographed.  Graphics taken off the web are usually 72dpi, and when projected on a forty- foot screen show-up as giant boxes (pixelization).
•  
• Graphics should never be scanned off of business cards, newspaper ads, or other low quality print material.
•  
• Copyrighted graphics, pictures, photos, or other MUST have secured permission to be used.  WE MUST HAVE VERIFICATION THAT YOU HAVE SECURED PERMISSION FOR COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL BEFORE YOUR AD WILL BE SHOWN.  This also applies to photos you may take of your business employees, which by law, even they must agree to allow their image to appear in your ad… the world has gone nuts, but it is the world we live in.

          Digital Layout Dimensions

          Saving Your File

• We prefer Photoshop files (psd.) with all layers intact (not flattened).

         Proofing Your Final Layout

• Double check your information for accuracy, that includes spelling! Inaccurate information or wrong spelling is a reflection upon your business, it’s also costly.
