Self-Promo Likes (and Pet Peeves)… From the People You’re Sending Them To (Part 1 of 3) | Jasmine DeFoore | Photo Editor & Marketing Consultant. Posted: December 12, 2010 Just to drive everyone nuts, I've been talking to photo editors and creative directors about what sort of promos they like enough to keep. As you hopefully know, most of the print promos they receive go straight into the recycling bin (and most e-promos aren't opened). What makes a promo stand out enough to get pinned up on the wall of chosen ones? What promos get forwarded to the other creatives? And why should this drive you nuts? Over the next three days I'll be posting creatives' thoughts.

It’s important to consider screen resolution and browser size when designing for the web. Since not everyone has a nice big 27-inch iMac on which to cruise the internet, screen resolutions will vary. Luckily, there are a number of industry standards and resources that can help us find the right size for our intended target audience. Screen size is always a tricky issue and plagues most web designers – especially due to the limited vertical height of a monitor.
However, any web designer worth their salt will make sure that vital content, calls to action and primary navigation remain “above the fold”. Considering Sizes: While I remember a time when I was designing websites for 640 x 480 pixels, nowadays most screen resolutions can be assumed to be set at a minimum of 1024 x 768 pixels. When designing for the web, you really want to utilize the space you’ve got. Resources:These are great resources that will help ensure your site is designed for optimum screen resolution and usability.
