Tips for creating your best Ad
● Your photos will look and fit better if your photo is the same orientation as the picture box
(horizontal vs. vertical orientation)
● Use clear, high-resolution photos. If your photo is blurry, it will be blurry in your ad.
● Create an ad around your student and write a personal message that will be meaningful.
● Use the cropping tools on the website to crop out unnecessary background and focus on your
student

What should I say in my ad?
The most effective ads reflect a balance between words and pictures. Ad text can consist of personal
messages, inspiring quotations, and/or passages from poetry. You are welcome to come in and look at
senior recognition ads from last year’s book or others before that.
How do I zoom/crop/reposition my photo once it’s placed in a photo box?
Once a photo has been placed in a photo box, you may zoom and crop a photo by using the magnifying
glass icon found on the photo control bar (located directly above your placed photo). You can also
reposition a photo within a photo box by clicking and dragging the placed photo to your new desired
position
How do I remove an image from my layout?
You can remove a photo from your layout by selecting the photo and clicking on the button marked 'X'
found on the photo control bar (located directly above your placed photo).
I got an error message saying I had exceeded the text limit of the text box. What should I do?
The Ad Designer reduces the font size as you type to allow the maximum amount of text to fit in the
allotted area. If you get a text limit message, you must use the delete or backspace key to delete some
text since the font size has already been reduced as much as possible.

Can I change my ad size and/or layout without losing my photos and text?
Yes. If you choose a different size and layout during your design session, your text and photos will fit
into the new selected layout without losing your work.
After I submit and pay for my ad, can I go back and make edits?
NO. You are not able to make additional edits once you have paid and submitted your ad. Please proof
your work carefully before purchasing your ad.
