A Note About MACs
We have had a lot of bad experiences with people working on MACs who cannot provide PC compatible files, therefore, please indicate to us what platform(s) you work on. If we like your work and you work on a MAC we will want to look at source files so we know they can be opened and utilized in a PC environment. (There’s nothing like not being able to make a copy change in the last hour).
