Technical Details for Village Mag

Contributions to the Village Mag can be accepted in any format from handwriting to computer graphics files.

If you are originating copy on a computer, then plain text is fine for simple items. This can be as part of an email, or as a "txt" file.

If you need slightly more sophisticated formatting (eg Bold, unerlining, perhaps a contrasting font), please send this in "Rich Text" format - this will be one of the options in the "Save As Type" box in you Word Processing package. For this approach, please stick to the following fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Comic Sans, Tahoma, Albertus Medium, Albertus Extra Bold.

If you want to send anything heavily formatted, then please create the graphic to fit one of the following sizes:

  millimetres pixels (we print at 300 dpi)
Small items 89.9mm wide x up to 170mm high 1062 wide x up to 2000 high

 184.9mm wide x 262.9mm high 2183 wide x 3105 high

Please save (or export) the graphic as "uncompressed" TIF file.

The address for emails is mag@winster.org - if it arrives OK, expect an acknowledgement (and if you don't get one - please chase up and find out what has gone astray).
