REQUEST A SAMPLE

Art Submission Guidelines

The following are a series of tips and techniques to help you prepare and submit various forms of photographs, illustrations or other original artwork for conversion to Viewnique wallcovering.

General Image Preparation

1. Please plainly label or number all artwork, both digital and original
2. Provide any colour references (product samples, fabric swatches, etc.)
3. Send a colour proof for each image

Original Artwork and Photographs

Copyright laws prohibit the reproduction of original works without prior consent from the author or artist. Always submit a signed copy of the Viewnique copyright release form for all your photographs, illustrations or other original artwork provided with the project. When submitting photographic film (positive or negative transparencies), we recommend that the original film be provided. (Copies from the original are discouraged because of their inherent loss of quality. Photographic prints are not recommended due to a loss in quality when enlarged.)

Preparation of Digital Files

Never send original files

Organize all relevant files into one folder

Provide a contact name and phone number on all disks and materials

Check that all files are included on the disk (or other transport media) before submitting

All contemporary media formats are accepted: CD, DVD, ZIP

Viewnique projects are printed in either a RGB or CMYK colour space

Raster Graphics

File Types: The Viewnique design department accepts most raster graphic file types including: uncompressed TIFF, PSD, PCX, PNG, and PDF files as well as JPEG files depending on their compression quality

PPI: Viewnique products require an image resolution of at least 75 ppi for small jobs and 50 ppi for larger jobs (dimensions above 10 feet)

Vector Graphics

File Types: The Viewnique design department accepts vector graphic files from the following computer design programs: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw and Adobe Acrobat (PDF)

Fonts: If your design includes text, convert all text elements to outlines to eliminate the need to provide the accompanying font files

Colour: When creating vector graphic files, specify all colours as Pantone match colours or as specific RGB or CMYK colour builds. Identify all such colours in the document's swatch list
