Banner Sizes Available

& Illustrated

 

Two banner sizes are available, as illustrated below.

Images are based on pixels and have no relationship to standard measures of length, such as inches. Pixels, in a digital image, do not have a "Height" or "Width" that can be measured with a ruler. This is because they are pieces of information, rather than a physical thing that can be measured. (For more about pixels, see below.)

200 x 275 (in pixels)      For a standard monitor, 96 dpi (dots per inch), the size in inches is:  2.08" x 2.86" 

                                     For a 72 dpi monitor:  2.77"  x  3.82"

 

468 x 60                       For a 96 dpi monitor, this is equivalent to 5"  x  .625"

                                     For a 72 dpi monitor:  6.5"  x   .833"

Once the picture is assembled on your Monitor or assembled for Printing, ONLY then can you measure it with a ruler.

Some software programs elect to describe your picture in Inches or Centimeters, rather than in Pixels. We feel that this is a disservice to the user because pixels cannot be measured.

When a digital image is described in inches, it is being calculated, based on the Monitors Resolution. Or on the Printers Resolution. (Both of which are different and non-related, thus causing a lot of confusion)

Most monitors are set at 96 dpi (dots per inch) If a digital image is 960 pixels wide, then that digital image would be reported as being 10 inches wide. (960 divide by 96 = 10)

The same image, displayed on a monitor that is set at 72 dpi, would report that image as being 13.3 inches wide.
