Calling All Covers

Hi Everyone! Can you believe that it's already that time of year again?! Eddy, James and I have already started (honest, Willem) to dig deeply into the next Mastering Revit book. Which means we're reaching out to the viewing audience for gallery art (the glossy section in the center of the book) as well as cover art (really cool image that goes on the cover...like the one above).

Do you think you've got what it takes?

Please email your submissions to masteringrevit@architecture-tech.com for consideration. Two really important points:

1. Don't send high-res images suitable for publication (yet). Just send medium-res PNGs and JPGs for now for review (and ppplease don't email bandwidth choking BMP files).
2. If accepted, you (or someone with the appropriate authority) will need to sign a waver allowing the images to be published. Then we'll resolve where to send/upload the high-res images.
   

Finally (very important) - if one of the shiny new renderings you submit is selected for the cover art - expect some really cool piece of hardware, software, something to show up on your doorstep about the time our book hits the shelves (exactly what is to be determined...but we've got a few great ideas!). Consider it a sign of our appreciation. Oh yeah - and to top it off you'll be able to show lesser mortals your work on the cover of a really cool book...forever!!!

Care for a hint to make the cover? Look at last years cover at the top of this post. Notice that it's not overly busy or completely covering the cover. In other words, there's still room for a title, the authors names, the publisher, seal of approval, etc. I strongly suspect that the selected image is going to have these same important qualities.

As for the internal gallery - don't just send bird's eye views using really exaggerated camera angles. :) Break it up! Interiors, exteriors, section boxes, exploded views, real-time materials as well as renderings...all make for great viewing!

Ready, set, email!!!
