These specs are for standard wallpaper if the

client is creating the file themselves. Our creative

department will need the layered PSD file in order

to implement the client designed wallpaper. Here

are some additional Guidelines for designing

wallpaper:

- Design must be approved by Meredith Agrimedia

.

- Wallpaper cannot push down content from the

top of the page

- In order to keep the file under the size limit it's

helpful to have the design live in the upper

portion of the wallpaper and graduate down to

flat HTML color in the bottom.
