Public posting of your works
No, do not post publicly yet. We will give the okay after the zines are distributed.
What will I do if I'm a pinch hitter?
If you submitted multiple approved pitches you can use one of the pitches you have not used. Otherwise, you can pitch a new idea to the mod team.
Canvas settings
Your canvas should be set to the following settings. These are an absolute must to ensure the best possible quality when printing.
- DPI: 300
- Color profile: CMYK
IMPORTANT: Save your work as PNG so the art piece doesn’t lose its quality!
Zine template for page size
Use this template for every page you create in the zine! It ensures consistency across the entire project and keeps the final layout clean, sharp and extra ecto-contaminated :D
You can download the PDF template by clicking this link (or click here if you need a PSD version).
Spot artists
Spot art will be inserted somewhere within a fic, usually between paragraphs. Because of this piece must:
- Be at least 2 inches in size at 300dpi (that's at least 600px by 600px). Your canvas does not have to be square.
- Not touch the edge of the canvas
- Not have a background
- If figures are cut off, there must be a way to make the art look floating
If you need a template for the page sizes, please look above for that link.
If you have an idea that does not fit these guidelines, talk to a mod! We can help accommodate!
