Question 1

What types of artwork do I send?

Accepted Answer

Artwork can be awards, projects, stories, crafts, paintings, photographs anything that you want to be treasured.  All photographs count towards the number of pieces you are including in your book, EXCEPT for one photograph if you choose to have an Introduction/Dedication page. These photographs can be emailed to us directly rachel@anewgraphics.com

Question 2

What artwork works best?

Accepted Answer

We can use any kind of art you want to send us! Art with bright bold colors and good contrast we find works the best. Try not to fold the art as the creases can be difficult to remove even though our designers can work magic. Keep in mind as well that artwork with a soft contrast like light pencil will not print well but our expert designers will try their best.

Question 3

Can I have my book in a specific order?

Accepted Answer

If you would like your artwork to have a specific order in the book, you MUST clearly number the back of each piece in pencil. First piece starting at #1 and ascending. If you have certain pieces that you would like to be recognized, then put a star on the back as well and we can make this piece a full page.

What do you consider to be one piece of art?
