Book Layout

Hey everyone, hope you're busy drawing/painting/sketching away!

I just wanted to make a quick post to say that if you've already finished with your piece (I know a couple of you already have!) there's no need to wait until the May 20th deadline to send it off. You can send it off anytime beforehand, it will actually help to speed up the process of compiling the book.

Right now I'm working on my own piece as well as the layout - can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Submission Guidelines

Midnight Phantasmagory Submission Guidelines

Artwork is now due May 20th (Friday) 2011.

EDIT: There have been some concerns about the May 1st deadline not being enough time, so we've pushed it back to May 20th, a little over a month and a half. If you guys still feel this isn't enough time, please let us know; I really don't want to go past 2 months for fear of losing momentum.

We will be using Lulu to print "Midnight Phantasmagory." The book will be perfect bound, paperback and in color. It will be comic book size at 6.625 x 10.25 in.

To download the page template for your artwork, please go to Lulu.com > Publish (top, left-hand tab) > Books (top left) > and then scroll down until you see "Book Specifications."

Find the comic book (about halfway down the list) and click "download zip file" under templates. Once unzipped you should have 2 folders and 1 ReadMe.pdf. Please use the "6.625x10.25_Front_EN" file to correctly format your artwork. Lulu provides a formatting FAQ here, as well.

In addition to these guidelines we will need your artwork to be at least 300DPI, in order to get a high-quality print.

Once you are finished with your artwork, please send it in one single email to: mp.artbook2010@gmail.com In your email list your name, number and title of each piece you are submitting and any notes on your work. It should  look something like this:

Brief Description

This is just to help Grace and I keep everyone's work sorted out once they start coming in. Please keep the description brief, to 1 or 2 sentences. (description/medium are not required, only if you choose to-the one thing we do need is the title)

And if you have any questions, please feel free to post them here. Now - go draw!
