UPDATE: so, remember this ad got stuck in the wringer because I had no idea how to make it an inch tall and still clean? It turns out that this is all taken care of by a “pre-press operator,” in my case, a company called “Adfixer” (recommended by the folks at TNY) did it for $44. That’s a fair price, and my client was happy to pay it, since they got my ad for a friendly price already. Apparently Adfixer uses a very expensive software that I don’t need to buy unless I want to be my own pre-press operator.

My ad is now in this week’s The New Yorker, on page 125. It looks good! Nice n’ clean, slightly doodly-looking, which I like. It’ll appear three more times (but I won’t post about it anymore, don’t worry!)

Thanks for the suggestions!

BTW - I’ve been K.O. in bed for the last few days due to a case of food poisoning (no, not from Taco Bell!). It seems I got it from some plum tomatos. Oddly, miles away in a totally unrelated incident, a friend of mine upstate also got food poisoning, and had unfortunately shared his tainted meal with his labrador retriever…
