Want your submitted artwork to print with maximum accuracy and quality? Then this guide is for you.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t follow a guideline, it\u00a0will not impact the judging process<\/i><\/strong>. Many of us don\u2019t have departmental access to otherwise costly equipment like a DSLR or a scanner.<\/p>\n

If your work is accepted, our design team can work with you on a case-by-case basis to sort out any technical challenges.<\/p>\n

For best results, we ask that you send us your work not only in high resolution, but in an uncompressed format.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Photography<\/b><\/h2>\n

TIFF<\/b> or flattened PSD<\/b><\/p>\n

For Paintings, Drawings, Sculptures, or Other Physical Mediums<\/b><\/h2>\n

TIFF<\/b>, flattened PSD<\/b>, or RAW<\/b>. Please scan 2D work and photograph 3D work.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • If your 2D piece is too large to fit in a scanner, please photograph with a low-noise camera such as a DSLR, ideally under even natural or studio lighting.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For Vector Graphics & Digital Illustration<\/b><\/h2>\n

    PDF<\/b>,\u00a0SVG<\/b>, AI<\/strong>, or\u00a0EPS<\/b><\/p>\n

    For Digital Design (Raster)<\/b><\/h2>\n

    • JPEG<\/strong>\u00a0and HEIC<\/strong> are compressed formats. But if you only have a JPEG, send us that. Please do not convert it to the uncompressed formats listed above, as this enlarges the file size without improving image fidelity.<\/li>\n
    • Submitting JPEGs will <\/span>not<\/em> impact the judging process\u2014we merely want to see your work printed in the highest quality possible!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      If you choose to submit a camera RAW file photograph of your piece, please record an additional image in the same lighting that includes a gray card, white balance card, or neutral sheet of paper. Don’t submit this gray balance reference image until your work is accepted.<\/p>\n

      Scripps College Journal accepts tagged wide-gamut images for print.<\/p>\n

      Normally, images for web are described in the standard RGB, or “sRGB” color space.<\/p>\n

      Wide-gamut color spaces, like Adobe\u2019s \u201cAdobe RGB\u201d and Apple\u2019s \u201cP3,\u201d can describe more vibrant colors outside the scope of sRGB.<\/p>\n

      If your image is untagged, we assume it is sRGB when we translate it into the print color space. So if you submit a wide-gamut image that isn\u2019t identifying itself as such (untagged), the colors will print incorrectly.<\/p>\n

      Please leave your material encoded in its native color space if you are not well-versed in color management. That’s totally okay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
