- Double page ads.
- Full page ads.
- 3/4 page ads.
- Half page ads.
- Column ads.
- Color.
- Black and white.
- Full color.
- Color ads are more expensive than black and white ads.

- The ad may have a white background (instead of yellow).
- The purpose is to make your ad stand out, but is less expensive than full color.
- Placement.
- Ads are ordered by size then seniority. That means ads are placed in sections beginning with the largest ads (double page) to the smallest ads. Each ad section is then ordered by seniority, so that the newest ad is last.
