Photo Guide
We recommend the following types of photo of your vehicle to compliment your advert.
Front 3/4 view
This is the best composition for a photograph of your vehicle. It shows as much of the advertised vehicle as possible.
Full side view
A good alternative to the "Front 3/4 view" but does not have as much impact.
Front view
Gives a good view of your vehicle but does not show as much detail as "front 3/4" or "Full side" views. Best used in adverts with multiple photos.
Rear 3/4 view
Does not show as much detail as other views. Best used in adverts with multiple photos.
You can now add multiple photographs with your online advert.
When placing your advert online you will have the choice of a multiple photo option, enabling you to upload up to four photos. If you choose to place your advert in the magazine as well you can upload up to four photos with the website advert and can specify which photos you'd like included in the magazine version.

Cut-Out
The vehicle photos has been cut-out from the background
Stock/Library photo
The photo must be a true representation of the advertised vehicle. Stock/Library photos or downloads from web-sites are not acceptable.
Wrong aspect ratio
The photos must be provided at 4x3 aspect ratio to fit our online advert styles. The image will then be resized to fit our 2x1 magazine advert style.
Montage
Multiple shots of the advertised vehicle cannot be combined into a single photo. This makes each difficult to view both in the magazine and on the website.
