Where Photographers Get Work SM
The print guide will be in the hands of creatives and buyers in advertising agencies, corporate marketing departments, resorts, architectural and interior design firms.
Like creativaguides.com the book is classified by specialty—aiding the buyer in finding the right supplier who specializes in their need:
Each classification is positioned by first-come first-positioned; so be sure to order before your competition!
Click through our book advertising options above; from Display Ads to Listings—you can customize how much exposure you need across multiple classifications and, with the Book+Online combo discount, across media.
We met with your buyers and asked how they wanted to see your work. They asked for all photos and less design. We listened and now offer a full, double-page spread [that's a 16x5" image area] to show off 1-4 of your best shots. Your name, phone and Web site are conveniently located on the outside of your image area.
Each display ad includes a listing in the same classification. Whether you want exposure without investing in a full display ad or want additional classifications to promote your other specialties; listings are an inexpensive way to get on a buyer's radar.
If you've been marketing yourself for any amount of time you're probably aware that engaging your prospects at different times in their buying process dramatically improves your chance at a sale. The more exposure [positive impressions in marketing speak] you have to something, the stronger the memory. The stronger the memory, the stronger the belief in the quality of the product.
Do you think it's time your prospects thought of you? Solidify your chances by being seen where ever and when ever they're looking to buy. Get a Master + Book combo today and save.

Each spread will have added black "tab" areas; the left page will include the advertiser's name, phone number and Web site address. Ads should include 1-4 images as indicated in template. No body copy is allowed within the ad with the exception of short captions.
All ad imagery must relate to the classification in which the advertisement
appears [e.g. No portraiture in Architectural Interiors]. All advertisements are subject to final approval by Creativa Guides. Ads that do not fall into compliance will be rejected and will need to be resubmitted by Advertiser.
Each page [left and right; including bleed] should be a 8.125˝ wide x 5.25˝ high at 300dpi, flattened TIFF. No Trim, bleed or center marks should be included in the file. Adhere to directions on template
downloadable [above] for live and bleed areas.
All files should be set as CMYK process colors and converted to the "U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2" color profile. Spot colors [e.g. Pantone] must be converted to CMYK process.
Name each page/file with your name, classification, and left or right [e.g. Advertiser People-Fashion Left.psd and Advertiser People-Fashion Right.psd].
A SWOP certified proof is required for all ads. Proofs must be representative of the supplied file at actual size and display a printer’s color control bar. Alternative proofing formats will be used as content proofs only. Visit www.swop.org for a complete and current list of certified proofing formats.
