[Scriptoris] Black Star wants cover art

[Timothy Sorrels]

Secrets for doing Black Star cover...  Hummmm.
 
No big secrets.  I let Alex scan the original most of the time and let him play with all the different color settings.  He has a lot more training in Photoshop then I do.  And, I tried to keep the art work in sizes similar to that of the Black Star.  Most of my originals are 25% to 50% larger then they appeared on the Black Star.

Who's now catching up on other projects before doing more covers.

Scribes, you are probably familiar with the lovely covers that Isaac Bain did for 
some time, when Alex was Chronicler - so perhaps Isaac will share some setup secrets 
with us for doing Black Star covers? Hum? 

Hope to see lots of scribal work in print, 
Cheers, Hillary

To: 
Attention all scribes, illuminators, and artisans of Ansteorra.

Would you like to have your work seen by the entire kingdom? Then I have an 
offer for you. I am in need of color covers for the Black Star. If your skills are 
up to the task, please send me your best.

I am seeking covers in two sizes:
Front cover only: 4.5” wide x 6.5” tall.
Wrap around cover (front and back outside cover): 10.35 wide x 8” tall.

Please look at a current Black Star before you start designing. Your design 
should taken into account the location of the Black Star header, and the date 
information at the bottom of the front cover. If you are contemplating 
designing a wrap around cover you will also need to take into account the 
text down the spine, the return address on the back cover, and my maker’s 
mark on the back cover.

I have designed a Acrobat template to assist you. It can be found at:
http://www.ansteorra.org/regnum/chronicler/forms.html

I can accept artwork in nearly any format. However, I prefer 200-300 dpi, RGB 
or CMYK tif or Photoshop (.psd) documents. Or you can send me the original 
artwork and I will scan it. Any original art submitted will go into the Black Star 
files unless you specifically request to have it returned.

Please include a signed release form with your submission. The form (Artwork 
Release Form for Event Announcements) is available on the same web page as 
the cover templates.
