Re: forgot to ask!

Thanks for reminding me, Nicole.

The exact size of the comic pages is 6 5/8"  x 10 1/4" including a small border around the edge of every page.  10" x 15" at 300dpi is the standard size that the pages should be made if they are drawn on paper in order to reduce to that smaller size.  However, if people want to work directly at the smaller size digitally then that's fine. 

Since we'll be publishing individual frames online as well as full pages in a print form it would be really helpful if everyone submitted their individual frames as individual files as well as their overall page layouts. 

Also, it's critical that people do not hand in jpegs since we'll have to do plenty of moving of things around and adding text.  The files should be photoshop or illustrator files so that no compression has occured.

So, this came up the other day and I completely forgot to ask---when uploading files or creating images in the computer for the comic, what size and what resolution should be working with? If this doesn't make sense, jsut let me know what size these will be blown up or shrunk down to, and what the max size you might ever use any of them for would be. this is SUPER important to address early on, or else if you try and take a low res image and print it as a poster or whatever else, it could look like a total mess!
lemme know soon.
thanks :)
