THE NEW 2010 Wrapping Paper Project

Due to the great success of our 2009 Wrapping Paper Project, Frinton Press are once again calling for submissions to the new and improved 2010 Wrapping Paper Project.


It will be launched in the autumn as a pre-Christmas thing but that doesn't mean your designs should necessarily be Christmassy.


Please send your artwork before 30th April. You can send as many designs as you wish until that date.


The chosen designs will be exhibited in a show later in the year, where the artists will also have an opportunity to sell some of their other artworks.


For the specifics see below, any further questions feel free to get in touch.


Thanks, and bonne chance,


The Frinton Press peeps.



How to get your artwork print ready

Size

10x10cm

Linework

Hand drawn or computer generated lines must be a minimum of .25 point.

Fonts

If there is any type involved, it should be no smaller then 12pt. Please make sure that all fonts used in your design are converted to outline / flattened or embedded into artwork.

Photographic image

If your artwork contains photographic images (and you want your print to look like a photo) you will need to convert it to halftone.

Colour

Please send your image in black and white. No grey, no mid-tones, as they won't print.

You can send your image in one of the following file formats:

Jpeg, Tiff, Pdf, Psd , Ai, Eps

Non vector images need to be min 300dpi

PLEASE NAME YOUR FILE WITH YOUR NAME SEPARATED BY UNDERSCORE. e.g. Jerry_Springer.jpg

If you don't do this, we won't look at it, or might not, depending on the weather.

How to send

You can email your artwork to us at, frintonpress@gmail.com, with the subject line 'WP10'. please mention also where you read this brief. Thanks.

  2. hello, for the Photographic image, you said convert the image to halftone to make it look like a photo, but for the Colour specification you do mention not to use mid-tones, does it mean I cannot use mid-tones anyway?? Besides, the size should be 10x10cm, but in the Format part you ask to send images the size you want printed. What's the meaning of this?? Mnay Thanks!! : )
