How Do I Provide the Photos?

How Do I Provide the Photos?

Photos can be provided by uploading as part of your yearbook directory of folders. They should be provided as the original graphics files, e.g., .jpeg, .tiff, .pdf, .psd, .png, .ai or .eps files are all acceptable. Note: we cannot accept Publisher files (.pub file extension). 

If your contributors are sending you image files/photos, ask them to add them directly to a shared drive or folder, rather than emailing them. Some email clients automatically downsize attachments before sending, so you may be receiving inferior versions of the photos.

If they do need to email them to you, then they will need to ensure that they are sending them at the original size, ie, turn off any automatic downsizing or optimising feature.

Important Note

Do not provide the images/photos embedded or pasted into a Word document (or any other type of document). 

Word automatically downsizes any image that is placed or pasted into a document, so these images will be reduced in resolution/quality, and will also take the designer time to extract and identify whether any are usable. Sometimes they also become skewed or distorted out of proportion to the original.
