GUIDELINES FOR SAMPLES SENT VIA EMAIL
Send copies of artwork in JPEG format, 75dpi resolution.
Grayscale color depth for penciled, inked or tonal illustrations.
RGB Color depth for colored artwork.
(RGB color format is preferred for samples submitted because the files are smaller in size and are intended for viewing and evaluation
only. CMYK color mode is used for COLORING the artworks and for print.)
FILE NAMING
Art files sent via email or any electronic means should have UNIQUE names.
Avoid using generic filenames like image01.jpg, It will be hard for us to search for files when you make inquiries.
Try sending files named like these:
Lui01Lara0929.jpg
where Lui is the name of the Artist,
where 01 is the page number of sequenced art submitted by the artist,
where Lara is the description of the artwork,
where 0929 is the month and date the artwork was submitted.
Avoid having filenames longer than 16 characters. file extensions should be in LOWERCASE.
