How do I prepare my text for my full-color childrens book?
Text and art are two different things. Text typically prints in black (and black only, not black made up of four-colors). And art typically prints in four-color. So, when creating your artwork remember to leave space where your text is going to be placed. This can be either an area with no artwork or an area that is light in color, and an area that is not too busy. Remember, you want to be able to read your type, and that won’t be possible if type is in with your artwork. All files submitted to RJ Communications need to be hi-res single page PDF files. We need a file for your text, a file for your casewrap and a file for your book jacket (if you have opted to have one). Printouts of all files submitted are also required.
