    WEST AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP

     

    The West Austin Neighborhood Group is a non-profit organization of neighborhood residents with the shared goal of preserving the character of West Austin and protecting it from deterioration. WANG is concerned with community development, ecology, safety, and many other matters that indirectly and directly affect the quality and character of our neighborhood and the City of Austin.

    WANG publishes a monthly newsletter and one annual newsletter described more fully below.

    Camera-Ready ads are ads that can be placed directly into the newsletter publication for printing without modification. Our preferred file format for receiving camera-ready ads are PDF files. Using PDF files avoids common font problems that can occur with other file formats. If your software does not support creating PDF files, we also accept EPS files with embedded fonts or fonts that have been created to outlines.

    We accept ads from any vector-based program in PDF or EPS format. The following lists several popular vector-based programs:

     

    • Adobe Illustrator
    • Adobe PageMaker
    • Adobe InDesign
    • Corel Draw
    • Macromedia Freehand
    • Microsoft Publisher
    • QuarkXPress

    We do not accept ads from raster-based or “paint” programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks and Microsoft Paint, even if provided in PDF or EPS formats. Raster-based design programs create ads that reproduce poorly in print.
