GUIDELINES FOR ARTICLES, REVIEWS, PHOTOGRAPHS, EVENTS, ETC.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Ceramics: Art and Perception and Ceramics Technical. We hope to present the highest quality writing and photography so that these magazines become sought after by all interested in ceramic art. Here are a few guidelines for your
information.
Guidelines for Articles, Reviews, Photographs
Articles may be on any subject of interest to ceramic artists, potters and sculptors, galleries and collectors, schools and teachers, and may be of historical, contemporary, local, international, philosophical, aesthetic, educational, technical, ethnological value and of any length necessary (average 1000 to 3000 words) to tell the story. Commentary, criticism, innovative research, first-person profiles, reviews of exhibitions, books, events, details of future events (allow a three-month lead time), all will be welcome. If you have submitted the article to more than one magazine, please tell us; readers do not like to see the same articles in all the magazines they buy. Articles should be typed; to suit Macintosh (Microsoft Word) computers. Please retain a copy of the article for yourself.
Photographs to accompany articles or for the Gallery Review should be professional colour transparencies (slides), the larger the format and the sharper the focus the better for reproduction. Objects should be photographed on a plain or subdued colour background. Sufficient space should be left around the object in the photograph for larger reproduction, as in bleeding off the edges of the pages and for superimposed titles as in title or cover pages. Photographs should be labelled. Captions should be explanatory (title, date, dimensions, materials and photographic credit given. If digital images are supplied on CD, they must be a minimum of 300-450dpi, saved as either a TIFF or EPS. Jpeg format is only acceptable if saved at maximum compression. Lower compression removes information from the image and leads to poor reproduction. If you have any queries regarding images, please don¡¯t hesitate to contact us.
Diagrams should be well drawn and labelled.
Deadlines are continuous. We are always working on the next magazine; as soon as you have something ready, send it in.
Payment, as yet only modest, is made for original articles published. We will also send you a copy of the published magazine.
Contact will be made when we receive material from you; please include your name, address, telephone and fax (if available) numbers so we can contact you easily. We like to check articles with you when they are set out ready for printing.
We look forward to hearing from you, Janet Mansfield Editor |
