If you would like the artwork to go to the edge of the cover, but the original artwork will be done on a standard 8.5x11 piece of paper here are a few things to keep in mind. • The background art should fill up the entire page so no white is showing. • The foreground art should be 1.125" or more away from the edge of the page. Foreground art includes anything you do not want to be cut off • The image should be scanned at more than 300 DPI to account for you scaling the image up to fill the bleed area.
