Colours

All artwork preferred in RGB.
Avoid large areas of bright red or blue to reduce colour bleed. Bright colours and high contrasts will look better than muted colours on screen. Avoid very low contrast such as light grey / white or pastel combinations.

Text

Minimum font size: 16 pt
High contrast between text and background is always preferable
Minimal amount of text is better. Keep in mind that slides will only stay on screen for 10 seconds.
Convert all text to curves (or rasterize) before sending final artwork to avoid font problems.

File Naming

Please name your files descriptive with the name of your company and the date the ad is scheduled to begin.
