Lazarus: Absolutely! Photo paper was always h x w also (8.5 x 11 inches, for example). Then you print it and have to change the way you list the size.

It’s something we have to get used to, which is why I need to remind artists every now and then.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I just wanted to mention that the dimension format is reversed for commercial printing.

I’ve been an advertising creative director for 13 years and in my profession we never list height first…. ever. For us the international standard is always WxH and we don’t ever have a depth.

When a format is longer vertically, it is called Portrait – otherwise it is called Landscape. Letter size paper is usually portrait and listed as 8.5×11 and business cards are primarily Landscape and listed as 3.5×2. If you list differently, then the printer will automatically assume you are rotating the artwork.

It taken me years to finally be barely comfortable with listing my wife’s fine art pieces HxW – but it’s still viscerally difficult for me. I can’t even read them that way without squinting.

Just sharing.

This is so helpful! While researching other artists’ Facebook Fan Pages, I found such a diversity in just about everything regarding titling work online. This post is as close as I can find to an online AP Style Handbook for websites and Facebook Artist Fan Pages. Thanks Alyson!
