Ads

Layouts for print ads are available in multiple formats. Designs can be repurposed for other types of print or online marketing, such as bill stuffers, posters, or web banner ads. There are 12 different designs/messages in this set.

Adobe InDesign CS3 layout files

These are the original layout files and are fully editable. If you have access to this software, or a graphic designer who has it, these files will give you the most flexibility. You’ll need InDesign CS3 or later on Windows or Mac to open these files. All photos and graphics are included. Fonts used are standard on most computers, but may need to be re-identified when you first open the file.

Microsoft Word layout files

All 12 ad designs have been converted to .DOC format, but they have only been tested with Word 2007. These are fully editable and can be exported to pdf from within Word via “Save As.”

PDF files

These files are, for the most part uneditable, but we’ve left space for you to overlay your local information and logos. This overlay can usually be done by your local paper if they are unable to use the InDesign files, above. Also included here are sample pdfs that includes the mock local information.
