Article:
your article ….
Your text must adhere to these specifications:
- Use “Heading 2″ format for main Titles and “Heading 3″ format for subtitles.
- Use “Paragraph” format for any paragraphs and texts.
Only for tutorials:
- All tutorials are in Step-by-step format. Each image should have its own step except in special cases. Each step should have a “Step #” heading. Try to break your tutorial into as many steps as possible, but avoid stating the obvious (i.e. “Step 1, Open a blank .PSD file.”)
- Your tutorial should be written as a set of instructions for the reader, not an account of what you are doing.
- “Drag and snap guides to all edges” = correct.
- “I drag and snap guides to all edges” = incorrect.
- Keyboard shortcuts are capitalized and spelled Ctrl, Shift, Command, Alt, Enter.
- Use the “+ key” to separate shortcut commands but a hyphen with the word click. (example: Ctrl+Shift+I)
- Use “>” for menus. (example: File>Save as)
- ONLY capitalize (Don’t use bold, italic or other emphasis) when you’re speaking directly about the menu/palette settings, but lowercase if you’re speaking generally: Opacity/opacity.
- Name all layers and use double quotes for layer names. (example: Name this layer “Header Text”)
Photography and Source Images
Some tutorials make use of photos for their effects. There are a few things you need to know in this regard:
- Images are the most important part of your article or tutorial. They should be no wider than 625px, and their resolution should be no more than 72dpi.
- DO NOT use images from which are taken from other websites.
- DO NOT use images from Flickr UNLESS they have a Creative Commons License for Commercial Use. In this case you must provide an attribution link back to the Flickr page, from which you found the image. Note that you can find CC Commercial images on Flickr using their Advanced Search feature.
- You could use images you photographed yourself.
- You may use images from free stock sites like SXC.hu and StockVault.net, BUT make sure you check the agreement for use in files for distribution. Sometimes you need to get permission from the photographer. If the image is included in the sample PSD file, we can’t distribute it unless you have the permission to use that image.
- You may use images from Press Release of companies’ site.
