Create Original Graphics

Communicate visually. By following these guidelines, you will be able to create original graphics that will look great in your published book.

Submission

All graphics files should be submitted electronically. Each figure or component of a multi-part figure should be submitted as an individual file. Avoid embedding artwork in the main text. Artwork will be placed in the correct position during the production stage.

To submit your graphics files, do the following:

Examples of acceptable grouping of folders for art delivery:

Be sure to use the same naming convention for all figures.

Figure Numbering and Captions

Number the figures sequentially according to their appearance in the text and the chapter number. For example, Figure 3.4 would be the fourth figure in chapter 3.

Vector graphics in EPS format are best for line art because vector graphics can scale to any size or resolution without loss of clarity.

Color Artwork

Supply your color figures in RGB color mode, which your production team will convert to CMYK mode for print production. Follow these guidelines for color bit depth:

Artwork Permissions

Authors must obtain permission to reproduce any previously published artwork. Copies of permission grants should be submitted with the final manuscript. Permission credit lines should be included in relevant figure captions.
