How many people do you know that are not interested in their health? The answer to this very question is why Modern Health and Living has had one of the largest followings of any publication in the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas since 1992.

Our newspaper is full of vital information that pertains to your health and well being. We tend to stay away from the non-informative news that fills many publications and lean towards articles filled with useful health information. This is why Modern Health and Living is read cover to cover by many readers and advertisers

SUBMITTING ADVERTISEMENT IN MODERN HEALTH AND LIVING Modern Health and Living uses both verbal and written contracts regarding advertising. Once you have verbally committed to an ad, we expect that you will follow through and meet your obligation in helping to get the ad published.

We offer free typesetting and are generally very adept at design what you are looking for.

Problems we run into generally revolve around getting the source material to design your ad. Here are some guidelines to help everything run smoothly.

1 Please don’t ask us to call a competitor to collect ad copy. Although most other publications are 1. very helpful, it puts us in an awkward position.

2. Please understand that we cannot pull graphics out of thin air that have run in other publications.

2 If you really have to have a particular graphic, logo, picture, etc. to be included in your ad, we would appreciate if you would take the appropriate steps to have that graphic for us in a digital format.

3. PDF is the best format for ads that are completely camera ready and to size. If the ad isn’t to the right size, TIF, EPS or JPG will probably work.

4. TIF is the best format to send a graphic file. If there is a graphic or picture, we would appreciate 4 getting it in a TIF format. The next best would be JPG or EPS. 5. If you are sending a color file, it is absolutely imperative that all images are converted to CMYK and you are using a CMYK color palette to select any colors within the ad. If you are unsure what CMYK means, please contact us. (262.375.6705) 6. A good general rule of thumb is that if an image looks fuzzy or blurry on your screen, that is the way it will print.

You should be able to zoom fairly close before you can see blurriness in an image.
