Skaalen Community Resource Guide Ad — Badge Updates
Overview
The Skaalen "Community Resource Guide" (Shaper Directory) ad requires a revision to add award/recognition badges before its February 2026 submission deadline. The update is primarily additive — existing layout and photography are retained, with badges incorporated into the design.
Revision Details
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Asset | Community Resource Guide / Shaper Directory ad |
| Change | Add badges to existing ad layout |
| Internal target | February 19 |
| Submission deadline | February 20 (camera-ready) |
| Owner | Melissa Cusumano |
Layout Approach
The badge placement requires working within the existing type and image constraints. Options discussed:
- Crop the photo and place one badge on each side, or stack two badges on one side
- Shift the logo down to create room for badges above or beside it
- Final arrangement depends on how small the existing type renders at size — Melissa to assess dimensions and determine the best fit before proceeding
No copy changes were requested; the revision is layout/graphic only.
Workflow Notes
- Ad is submitted camera-ready, so the file delivered to the publication must be print-ready
- Melissa is traveling February 10–14 (Florida); the February 19 internal target accounts for this absence
- Dawn (Skaalen) confirmed the February 20 submission date is acceptable if the file arrives camera-ready
