Fundraising Cookbook Publishing - Artwork Submission Guidelines

Artwork Submission Guidelines

We want your cookbook to look its absolute best. We also want to avoid any delays in production which may be caused by electronic files that are too low in resolution, files that cannot be opened by our art department or other problems that can come up by submitting unacceptable artwork. We have developed this list of artwork submission guidelines to help you get the best possible reproduction of your artwork and photographs.

Dos
    * DO submit original photos (black and white or color).
    * DO submit original artwork or ink drawings.
    * DO submit files on disk at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi in TIFF, EPS, PDF or JPEG format.
    * DO submit black and white laser prints for line art only (not acceptable for grayscale art or photographs).

Don'ts

    * DO NOT submit inkjet or laser printouts of photos or grayscale graphics from your computer. Submit these files on disk instead. (Exception: laser prints are preferred for black and white line art.)
    * DO NOT submit photos or graphics clipped from newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, stationery, etc. They will reproduce poorly and may be copyrighted.
    * DO NOT submit photocopies of photos or graphics
    * DO NOT submit pencil or crayon drawings.
    * DO NOT use paper clips, staples or tape on your photos or artwork which can damage your originals.
    * DO NOT crop your original photographs. Instead, make a photocopy of the photo, mark the copy how you would like it to be cropped and submit with the original photograph as a guide.
    * DO NOT submit artwork that is disproportionate. Cover templates are available for download from our web site.
    * DO NOT submit low-resolution files on disk. Images from web sites are generally not high enough resolution.
    * DO NOT submit files in unsupported formats. We may not be able to open your files, resulting in a delay. We accept TIFF, EPS, PDF or JPEG (300 dpi or higher at the size needed for printing). If you do not see a file format here that you are able to produce, or you have specific questions about your program, please contact us.
    * DO NOT submit art larger than 8.5" x 11"
    * DO NOT submit negatives or transparencies.
