Program Book

The Necronomicon 2011 Program book will have a print run of about 800 copies. We set a limit on members and also give books to the staff, guests, and dealers. If you are interested in advertising in the program book, then here is what you need to know.

To the right is the cover for the 2009 Program book, with art provided by Byran Burleson. We will have one for 2011 around September.

Price
There are four prices depending on what and where.
$90 Full Page
$50 Half Page
~~$125 Inside front~~ SOLD
~~$125 Inside back cover.~~ SOLD

(Obviously, there are only two inside covers and one outside back cover.)
When the cover pages are sold, it will be noted here.

Size
Our program book is made up of a standard piece of paper in landscape position, folded in half. Thus, a full page is 5 ˝” by 8 1/2”. As the figure to the right shows, you will need to leave a Ľ” margin around your ad. So the actual printed material of your add should not exceed 8” by 5”. The half page add should not exceed 5” by 4”.

Format
Our program book is assembled in Pagemaker. Using this we can accept electronic submissions in the form of .pdf, .jpg, .gif, and .tif files as standard. Check with us if you are using some other format. If you are not going to send it electronically, then send a camera ready copy to the address below.

Deadline
The sooner the better. We will be working on the program book in Aug & Sept. Absolute, final, deadline will be September 30th, 2011. If you agree to placing an ad, we’ll start bugging you to get it to us as the deadline gets closer.

Tips and Hints
If you are creating your ad in some electronic form here are a couple of suggestions.

If you would like to see a sample of the program book, you can check out a PDF version any of these past years:
2002 program 2003 program 2004 program 2005 program 2006 program
2007 program 2008 program 2009 program 2010 program 2011 program
Set your colors to grayscale. This is better to work with than RGB or CMYK, as it will only come out in gray after it is printed.
Start with a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Don’t go overboard with this setting, as the higher it is, the larger the file it creates.
Photographic images will not reproduce too well in the printing process. Work with clip art, or high contrast images. Test print it in the 8x5” size on a laser printer. If it looks good there, it will probably look good in the program book.
File format of .PDF is prefered, but I can convert it from .GIF, .JPG and .TIF if need be. Contact us first before you send it in any other format. If you are sending it in a .TIF file, use a Zip program to compress it before transmission. They're huge and it just works better that way.
