Let Us Design Your Ad

Design challenged?

Let us create the perfect ad for you! Our production team will craft an advertisement that targets your desired market while blending text, photos and graphics together. With creative sense for the visuals, our designers produce eye-catching ads.

Be sure to send any text or graphics to include to ads@gwhatchet.com. Please be clear in your subject line by including the advertiser's name and the first run date so we can find it. If you place your order online in the fall, you will be able to upload your ad, text or graphics instead.

Design Your Own

If you plan to design your own ad, be sure to consult our rates and Technical Specifications. Here are some basic tips:

  • Use a clean, simple and clear design.
  • Include large graphics and as little text as possible.
  • Make appropriate use of white space. White space is not wasted space.
  • Select plain, clear fonts that are easy to read. Do not over-use bolding, italics or difficult-to-read fonts.
  • Be sure you have a single message that is clear to the reader. Ask someone else to look at your ad quickly to see if they "get it." Remember, you can't be the judge, you already know the message!

Be sure to send your ad to ads@gwhatchet.com. Please be clear in your subject line by including the advertiser's name and the first run date so we can find it. If you place your order online in the fall, you will be able to upload your ad instead.
