3 CATHY LYN BROOKS EDITOR IN CHIEF Cathy Lyn was transplanted to California from New York at the tender age of 3 and is grateful to have grown up in the exciting environs of the Los Angeles area. Agreeing with the Beach Boys, there is nothing that compares to being a California girl. Always chosen last at sports, but always first to speak up for what is right and to defend another, she cannot attend a crusade without departing as the leader. Reading and organizational skills developed early on, and straight A s catapulted her into a full academic scholarship to the University of Southern California (USC). For over 30 years she has authored a column on consumer issues and her work has appeared in syndicated newspapers as well as in blogs, on websites, and in other forms of media. A persuasive writer, Cathy Lyn values the power of words and the limitless ideas that can be conveyed to a reader. With a background in marketing, financial, and legal matters and a voracious appetite for knowledge she reads a lot.

Artwork must be high resolution, minimum of 300 dpi and saved as CYMK. RGB and spot colors will be converted to CMYK, which can result in slight color variations. Ads up to 10MB may be submitted via to your advertising account representative. Larger files may be sent via DropBox, HighTail or similar services. Ads should be created using industry-standard graphic design software such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop. Non-graphic programs such as Adobe Pagemaker, Microsoft Publisher, and Microsoft Word should not be used. When creating ads using Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, fonts must be rasterized or converted to outlines before submission. A better option is to flatten Photoshop files and save as TIF, or save Illustrator files as PDF with fonts outlined and images embedded. We strongly recommend that all ads be submitted in press ready PDF files, with all fonts and images embedded and crop marks and registration marks. Any images, logos or other artwork placed in ads or provided separately for ad builds should be CMYK color space in PSD, TIFF, or EPS format. Image resolution should be 300 dpi. JPG images may be used as long as they are high resolution and do not have JPG artifacts.
