General Considerations
Television and computer screens have an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Please keep this in mind when preparing your artwork. Everything
we do is in RGB color space, so if your artwork originated in
CMYK colorspace and you need the colors to be exact, we
recommend you make the conversion to RGB before submitting the
artwork. Also, please avoid lines that are less than 2 pixels wide for
television artwork; they will not display properly.

Your artwork will have to co-exist on both PC’s and Mac’s during
the production process. Please use the proper file extensions when
submitting files.

Preparation for Illustrator/QuarkXPress/Generic EPS
For Illustrator documents please convert text to outlines and/or include
fonts. QuarkXpress documents must also contain fonts.

Preparation for Photoshop files
Artwork for television must be created 720px X 540px and 72dpi.
Please keep text within and area 576px x 432px (title safe) in the center
of the screen. Most interactive projects are produced for a 800px X 600px,
72dpi screen.

Please refer to these two documents concerning preparing artwork for CD
and B-CD labels.
