GSA Today

Figures
(any and all illustrations)

Cover: If your article is accepted for publication, we will want a color illustration (preferably a photograph) for the cover of the issue. Cover images should be at least 600 dpi (about 3000 × 3000 pixels). This image should be representative of your topic or study area, but should not be a figure used in the article.

Figures in GSA Today can be in color; there is currently no charge to authors for using color figures. The following native formats work best, as long as the version of the application is noted and the file is labeled with the correct extension: Corel Draw = .cdr, Canvas = .cvs, Freehand = .fh, Adobe Illustrator = .ai, and Photoshop = .psd. If you create either .tif or .eps files, they must be between 300 and 600 dpi resolution. Files created in any application other than those listed above should be saved as a .tif or .eps. Do NOT send low-resolution .jpg images. Save figure files by author name, figure number, and extension. Electronic files of photographs must be .tif or .eps files (no .jpg please), not compressed, and 300 dpi at full size. We cannot use PowerPoint because it is not a publication graphics program, and we cannot use a graphic file that is embedded in a document; all electronic files of graphics must be separate from text files.
