Looking for Cover Art for New E-Magazine

[Jraynack]

Hey all,

Alea Publishing Group is starting a free bi-monthly magazine and though we have staff artists and plenty of images to use, we thought it would be good to showcase unknown artists.

The artwork needs to be in color, yours, fantasy, modern or science fiction, and submitted to us by September 20th via email to our Art Director at jraynack @ aleapublishing.com.

Since the magazine is free (that means no one is getting paid . . . as a matter of fact we have to pay to make it free) this will not be a paid assignment. However, even though there is no monetary reward, we will provide a link to the artist's website as well as a complimentary copy of one of our PRODUCTS of their choice. Our previous free products have had nearly a thousand downloads so the coverage of your art is great. It will also bring to light artistic talent for future PAID projects that we produce.

So we hope to hear from you soon. If you have any questions or comments post them here.

Thanks!

Not to spoil things but you also need to tell people how many ppi and how big the image should be as well, if there is a maximum file size for your inbox, if there are "unacceptable" variations (nudity, gore, non-PC whatevers), and all that. Just suggestions, if someone pops off a brilliant "Slave Masters of Gor" that makes your blood go cold with disapproval it would probably be nice to know ahead of time.

Thanks James for the follow-up.

The image should be 300 .dpi. The size will eventually be 8 1/2 inches by 11 (a normal sheet of paper) so anything near to that will be great, however we have tools to stretch the picture to the size we need, so the higher the .dpi the farther it can be stretched. For example, a 4 x 4 inch picture can do the job we are looking for if it is 300 .dpi.

As for content - since this will be mainly a d20 magazine - we have to suscribe to the WOTC guidelines of no nudity and excessive gore - however, other than that we are open and submissive to your artistic talents.

Thanks again.
