Photo Requirements

High-quality custom posters need high-quality images to go into them!

That is why . . .

- WE DO NOT ACCEPT PHOTOS FROM CELL PHONES or
- THE WALLET-SIZED and 4" x 5" or 4" x 6" photos.
- WE ALSO CANNOT USE PHOTOS THAT ARE BLURRY
(out of focus, or a small photo that has been enlarged too much)
- VERY DARK (underexposed)
- VERY LIGHT (overexposed).

Here's what you can send:

- 5" x 7" and larger photo prints that are sharply-focused and properly exposed.
- Digital photos that are at least 1,400 pixels x 1,000 pixels in dimension and at least 200 dots-per-inch in resolution.

- Logo and Mascot images are commonly smaller than the sizes given above and that's usually Ok.

Things to keep in mind:
When mailing photo prints, it's best to sandwich the photos between cardboard to keep them flat.
For CDs and DVDs containing digital images, a padded envelope is good, cardboard as above is better.

REMEMBER:

  - NO cell phone photos.
  - NO photo prints smaller than 5" x 7".
  - NO digital camera photos smaller than 1,400 pixels x 1,000 pixels and 200 dots-per-inch.

If you are unsure about what any of these requirements mean, just ask Dr. David Davis using our Contact Us form. I welcome any and all questions about our Custom Posters and will be happy to help you understand what is needed.

After your photos have been accepted for use, a draft of your schedule poster will be posted in a private area of the ReporterNewsSports.com website so that you can see what the poster will look like.
