Covers

Covers should be created using the Photoshop cover template located here.

Notes: Vol/iss/mo/year text is Fira Sans semibold 12 pt. The info is separated by an em space. You must have Firs Sans on your computer. It can be downloaded here.

If the gray scale logo does not work with the issue's image, it can be turned off and will appear as white. We can also make it black if necessary.

Images should be at least 300 DPI at cover size and always in RGB.

Delivery of cover files to Highwire by TNQ need to include the following:

Cover thumbnail: Entire cover saved as .tif at 200 dpi and 25% of actual cover size. This is used on the home page, TOC, eTOC, and archive. File naming: lsa_[vol]_[issue].cover.tif

Expanded cover: Full cover size, 300 dpi, .tif, to be used on cover expansion page (e.g., http://www.life-science-alliance.org/content/1/1.cover-expansion). File naming: lsa_[vol]_[issue].coverfig.tif

Cover PDF: Instructions to come (6.6.2018)

Cover caption: plain text file (notepad) formatted with html. File naming: lsa_[vol]_[issue].covercaption.html

e.g.:

<p>ON THE COVER<br>HeLa cells expressing a mutant of SEPTIN7 that cannot be SUMOylated (green) are shown with the nucleus stained with DAPI (red). The image shows the abnormal bundling of septins after fusion of two daughter cells caused by cytokinesis failure. Image &#169; <a href="http://www.life-science-alliance.org/cgi/doi/10.26508/lsa.201700001">Ribet et al. 2017.</a></p>

All of these files are included in the lsa_[vol]_[issue].peripherals.zip

Production must get final approval by LSA executive editor before delivering files to TNQ via FTP.
