OK all, I know a lot of you are chomping at the bit to get the ball rolling on this book. Planning it out is going smoothly enough, but the cover is a bit of work. The insides are going to be easy. 1 page.....1 image......easy as pie, but it'll be interesting to see if the cover comes together. It's time to submit your image for a collage to make the front cover and the back cover.
Basically, we will all be represented by 3 images. 2 full size ones inside the book (those should kinda be your favorites...or your best....or whatever) and 1 that will be basically be a thumbnail on the cover. Seriously.....they will be tiny. So keep that in mind when selecting the images to submit for the cover. The cover is 7 inches square (18cm) and we're going to try to make 28 images fit on there (with a title!) so look at your images as thumbnails and submit the best to be used on the front or back cover as works for our layout. That's all we're looking for now. We'll ask for the 2 main submissions later. So look at your images small...because they look different seen at that size. Go for the simpler ones. These will literally be the size of your thumb.....maybe a little bigger.
So please send your cover image only at this time (not your top 2 for the inside of the book....we'll ask or those later) to Luke.seriouscompacts@gmail.com
File size probably isn't the most important thing for these since they will be so small, but let's practice now to get it right for later. The images should be in the sRGB colorspace, at least 3000 pixels on the longest side, 300 dpi (or ppi) and highest quality JPEG. If you have any questions about how to save (or export) this way, feel free to ask. Be sure to let us know what editing software you are using so we can best help you.
If there's anything I forgot to mention or anything isn't clear, shoot me a pm or add it to this thread.
And maybe you could answer in the affirmative in this thread to let me know your images have been sent in case there's any problems.
