Support the Design Center & DTG Magazine

You have TWO opportunities of obtaining visibility in the Design Center publications; DTG Magazine and Photoshop Tips & Tricks.

Make a contribution to the Design Center, and take your choice of two levels for two different kinds of exposure:
* "supporter" or
* "editorial contributor".

Each program is different, and provides you with a unique opportunity to reach this ready market at a cost far lower than any other online exposure scheme. This is truly your best bang for the buck -- in fact, one of the methods costs you nothing at all!

Photoshop Link Program #2: Content Advertorial

If you have a particularly strong message for the graphic design readership, and can provide some valuable content, there's no need to pay -- you become a partner by virtue of your content participation.

Since 1990, our reader-driven tradition dictates that any "presence" in the Design & Publishing Center represents a content-appropriate value to our readers.

This means the "presence" must

  1. Have a message that matches the focus of the Design Center editorial content; and
  2. Offer some form of usable information for our readers.

YOUR articles, white papers or other content of value along with the opportunity to present your message, product or service to the DTG audience.

Send your "editorial" article, "how to" or problem solver -- 600 words minimum; 2 screen captures minimum, samples, and example images.

You include all pertinent information; links; product/service size, platform, price, or other information sufficient for readers to understand what the product is about.

There is no charge for this, but we do not guarantee your material will be published. Keep in mind this is editorial information NOT advertising, press releases or pitch sheets.

Editorial contributors receive:

  1. A news or editorial page in the appropriate department of the Design Center. Includes your product information and links to the specific page(s) in your web site.
     
  2. Link Brief in the monthly DTG email newsletter (Up to 25 words describing your "editorial", with link) Brief also appears in the "& Else" news page
     
  3. Link Brief on the index page of the appropriate topic department in the Design Center (Up to 25 words describing your "editorial", with link)
     
  4. Your content article(s) stays in place indefinitely or until you request removal.
