Like last year, Ad Builder will be an option for designing an ad. This site is the easiest way to complete an ad. It has predesigned templates that you can choose from for each size (quarter, half, full), and you simply drag photos into the template. You can choose the font, font size, font color, background color, etc. With Ad Builder, you order your designed ad with a credit card and it will send directly to us.

Here is the link to Ad Builder:

https://www.balfour.com/washington/tacoma/charles-wright-academy

In order to use Ad Builder, you must create an account.

1) Click the desired page size

2) Click the link that says “Please log in to build an ad”

3) Under “New Customer” click Create an Account

4) Once you complete the login, you can pick a template and start building!

5) Always make sure to press the "save ad" button on the top of your screen before you log out. As long as you save it, you can log back in and work on the ad.

However, Ad Builder is not the only option for designing an ad. If you would like to design an ad on your own using another system, you can simply email us a PDF. This is common for business ads as well. Or, you can send the yearbook staff the photos (if you have print photos, we will scan them for you!), a saying, and a sketch of the ad, and we will design it for you. If you decide to send us a PDF or have us design it, you must send a check or cash along with a signed form. The forms are attached at the end of the email.

If you would like to purchase a PDA or Business Ad, please get it to us as soon as possible. 

If you have any questions, please email the editor-in-chief, Tali Barnoon at barnoontal@tarriers.org.  You may also email our yearbook advisor, Kate Rue, at krue@charleswright.org.

We hope you consider placing an ad in this year's yearbook!

Thank you,
