Here it is... artwork size!
Folks, the poll is trending strongly and I know everyone is ready to get to work, so here you go:
DIGITAL ARTISTS:
Your art should be 750 pixels wide by 1225 pixels tall at 300dpi.
(If you want to work larger than life size, you can do 1000x1633 at 400dpi)
NON-DIGITAL ARTISTS:
Your art should be 2-1/2" wide by 4-1/16" tall.
or 63mm wide by 104mm tall.
Want to work larger than life size? Try 5" x 8-1/8" (or 127mm x 207mm) and scan at 50%
The ratio of width to height should be 30:49.
You don't have to worry about "safe area" or "bleeds"--because we're doing borders in post-production, you can just design to the exact space listed above.
Ladies and gentlemen... start your engines!
(I hope I'm not jumping the gun here, but I think we're ready for this step... agreed?)
I will upload templates as soon as, er, ah, as soon as I renew my membership <blush>
