We will accept slides, high-quality color laser copies, and color photographs for color submissions. We are looking for bright, high-energy color work that shows good composition, attention to detail, and knowledge of how a cover should be laid out. Contracted art must be consistent with the rules and text of the product. Therefore, we provide specific art guidelines for each project. Contact the Art Director for more information.
Covers require either the original or a professionally-done transparency.
We return all originals after the product is published. We purchase all rights to the artwork we contract. The illustrations shown in these guidelines represent our normal standard of quality. If the return of any submitted samples is requested, the SASE must have sufficient postage and be of a sufficient size to handle that return. No materials will be returned without an SASE with sufficient postage attached.
