We recommend that you purchase the necessary software and learn to design your own ads and layout your own edition of the newsletter. But, if you would rather not spend the initial $$$ to acquire the software, or if you just don't feel comfortable with the idea of designing yourself, we can do it for you for a small fee. Here are your options:

Buy Your Own Software:

Newsletter design: We design the newsletter in Adobe InDesign. This is the only program which will allow you to open our newsletter file and manipulate it. The version you will need is either Adobe InDesign CS2 or CS3.

Ad design: You may use any program you wish for designing ads for the newsletter. Our recommendation is Adobe Photoshop. That is what we use, and we will be able to offer advice if you need help. But, you could use other programs such as Corel Draw if you are more comfortable.

PDF Creation: You will need Adobe Acrobat Pro for converting your InDesign file to a smaller PDF file. This is the file you will send to your printer.

You can get all 3 of these programs within one software package: Adobe Creative Suites CS2 or CS3. You can buy a new copy here , or try to find a used one. Ebay is a good source for used software. If you are a student, you may purchase Educational Versions for a significant savings.

Hire Us To Design:

Ad design: We can design any size ad for the newsletter for a one time fee of $50 USD. Small changes to the ad (ie. Text or image swapping) can be done for $25change. Complete revisions will costs $50.

Newsletter layout: We can layout the weekly newsletter for you for just $50 USD. Will will place all of your ads, change the contact information for you, and fill in any blank spaces with cartoons, puzzles, and/or filler ads. We will email you a PDF version for your review. Once you have reviewed it, you will then forward it to your printing company.
