magazines usually print at 133 lpitrim-the final size of the magazine once trimmed down
bleed-extra area outside the trim to allow for inconsistencies in trimming
live area-an area within the trim that you are supposed to keep all typography and anything else important in your ad away from. anything outside the live area could end up getting trimmed off.
another thing to keep in mind is whether your ad is left or right facing in the magazine. you want to keep your logos and crticial info away from the gutter of the magazine. there should be more info available through some googling. most printers like to educate their designers as to how to set up a file and provide info freely.
