Everybody, we're now pretty much through sorting out the entire submission nightmare - thanks to everyone who submitted.
Next, we'll be figuring out the logistics of putting together the actual book. This is a little bigger of a job then I may sound to some of you. Partly because, although we had provided guidelines for the submissions, people were still all over the place with the content (fucking designers)... and also because we're working with the publisher on figuring out the best specs in regards to production.
Furthermore, please remember that everyone involved with this have full-time jobs and are doing this on the side for free.Again, thanks to everyone for submitting, and we'll keep you posted.

Technical remark, packaging the file.
I have a bunched of logos in Black, to give a rich black i use CMYK 45 30 30 100 instead of just 100K.- fancy-pantsNotByHand
- How big are those logos? Shouldn't be necessary imo...Scotch_Roman

hi bart!!

works like illustrator. just choose "Place" and then drop your file, use the white arrow (cursor) to scale the contents inside the blue box..
make sure the files are cmyk first and set to 300dpi
the go to "file" > "package" and zip the mutha up and send to submissions@...- click cmd + ; to show the grid that was made for the bookjanne76
- cool... thanks. so i can just place the .ai? and if everything is in the .ai it'll be in the indesign file automatically right?PunchDouble
- sort of.. i do not know if it also links indirectly.. better to embed the shit into your illy file if it's linkedjanne76
- place the image in ai and link. place ai in indesign.moveinspace
- include all images when you package file for safety.moveinspace
