I should be uploading it within the next 2-3 weeks - I would like to add that if you would like to submit a cover for the collection please email them to BLAKSVN (at) GMAIL.COM with your information (so I can credit you).
CUSTOM COVER SUGGESTED GUIDELINES
These are not necessary but do make it easier to print the proper size cover and for you to receive proper credit.
SUGGESTED COVER SIZES @ 300 DPI
I’ve found these three sizes to be the most common sizes used by designers – DO NOT use 150 DPI as it is really not up to high quality printing.
Single case: 3240 x 2188 pixels or 10.8 x 7.293 inches (Meritline and most other $30 for 100 cases)
Or
Single case: 3240 x 2175 pixels or 10.75 x 7.1 inches (Amaray and Next Pax)
Or
Single case: 3225 x 2130 pixels or 10.75 x 7.1 inches (Maxell cases)
SUGGESTED FILE FORMATS
JPEG is the most common as it offers great quality and a manageable file size (1.5 – 5 MB each) but TIFF is another acceptable format as it offer the best resolution and color management but the file size is not really dial-up friendly (10-30MB each)
SUGGESTED NAMING FORMAT
IF possible when submitting a cover please try to name your covers something like what is shown below, this is in order to ensure that you do receive proper credit for your works. Also try to pack all the covers into a Folder named in a similar fashion the either ZIP or RAR the files (with the best compression set).

MONITOR SETTINGS FOR BEST COLORS
1. First adjust your monitor
a. Set your monitor's color temperature (white point) to 6500K
b. Set your monitor's brightness control (SO misleading - this is really your black level )
c. Set up your viewing light (do not have lights pointed directly on your monitor and avoid reflections from rear lights)
2. Now, go adjust your television also
Keep up the work gang and I look forward to all your covers being added to the Covers Collection for the FALL Covers torrent!
