[Imc-dc-editorial] Concern over small size of important promotion

[D. N. Russo]

hey folks
in an effort to PROMOTE the really BIG event at Cada Vez next Thursday with 
the author talk and book signing, I'd like to ask that the graphic on the 
sidebar be increased back to the original intended size. It's a promotion, 
and it needs to be BIG to amplify its importance. I can't even read it on 
my screen because of the way it's been resized it with HTML. It makes the 
graphic pixellated. It may look fine on some computers, but the proper way 
to handle the issue is to change the graphic itself, and not use HTML width 
code.

I'm really ready to lobby very hard for this, because the producers of this 
event want to see the website used well to promote it, and currently it 
appears to be relegated to some standardized size to fit some criteria that 
are unclear. I mean, isn't this supposed to be a HUGE looking event on our 
website??

If you could tell me the HEIGHT restrictions in pixels that the editorial 
group has decided to put on these promotional graphics, I'll change the 
graphic to fit that and expand the width to use of the wasted space 
currently resulting from the resize.

i'm not complaining, i don't want to sound that way. i'm trying to PROMOTE. 
i'm trying to make readers know how important this event is, to raise as 
much money for the IMC as possible and i feel the current treatment is 
acting as a handicap. what does the promotions department need to do to 
convince the editorial department that they should devote a lot of space to 
promote DC-IMC fundraisers?

thanks for helping resolve it. i respect the standards or whatever you're 
all operating on, so i raise this issue like this.

i end with a proposal that the event also be promoted on some other part of 
the real estate of the website. HYPE, folks, HYPE.
peace
