The articles category has been created for displaying articles and publications you and your art have been featured in.

Some artists enjoying displaying the magazine cover while others simply use a snippet from the article showing the example of their work in the publication.

Following are some options for showing the magazine cover and the original article.

How to Show Magazine Cover

The best option is to scan or photograph the cover page of the magazine then upload the image to your Non Art Images folder.

You can then display the image of the magazine cover along with a short excerpt of the article. A portion of this text could be made clickable to open a PDF of the entire article.

NOTE: Scanned images need to follow the same guidelines as your artwork. Images must be .JPG image files (RGB mode) or .png files. We recommend 1200 pixels in the largest dimension. 

How to Show Article

Option 1: 
You may want to create and upload a PDF file. This will ensure that the article, when posted on your site, is large enough to be easily read.

See this FAQ: Add a PDF File to Your Website

If you are not familiar with creating a PDF file you can research it by typing convert to pdf in a search.

You will find numerous sites with ways to convert your files to PDF.
