What info is needed before AD:INVENT starts making my ad?
We need to know if it will be printed or viewed online; the ad size, also called "trim size"; and if it is full-color, black & white, or has specific spot colors.

How long does it take to make an ad?
Ordinary turnaround is 5-10 business days. At an additional cost ads can be expedited (3-5 days) at a 20% mark-up. 1-2 day turnaround will cost an extra 50% of the original price. We urge all our clients to plan accordingly and provide complete materials before the design process begins for quickest turnaround.

Will AD:INVENT do work over a weekend?
Unfortunately, no. We have regular business hours that are Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm, Eastern Standard Time.

Who owns the final artwork?
You own the ad, but you may not own specific photos or illustrations that AD:INVENT provided and may not be able to use them in other marketing material. Certain fees may apply to own all the elements of an ad. Furthermore, any concepts that were provided but not used in the final ad are also not yours to own and use freely.

How are ads delivered?
Ads are sent via e-mail or by FTP if larger than 10mb.

What format are ads provided in?
All print ads are delivered as press-optimized PDFs (PDFX-1a compliant) and all online ads are optimized GIF or JPEG files or as TIFFs to be optimized by the online publisher.

Are the original working files provided?
We will send an archive of the InDesign and flattened linked files on request. Work can be provided on CD at an additional cost of $25 per disk.

How much does a project cost?
There are many variables but print ad prices are based on size and color requirements. Online ad prices are based on size and number of frames (ie. a Flash banner can cost considerably more than a three-frame animated GIF). Prices will increase with special photo or illustration requirements and expedited delivery. An hourly rate of $50 exists for particular projects such as type changes to an existing ad, etc. Please visit the AD:PRICING page for more details.

Does AD:INVENT do brochures, mailers, business cards, logos, etc.?
Yes. We do a wide range of projects for our clients. All fall under special pricing guidelines that can be viewed on our AD:PRICING page.
