Comics Coloring Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Embedded at the end of this article
is a PDF of the corporate coloring guidelines that
DC Comics (a Time-Warner company) requested
that I develop in 1999. The document replaced the notorious guidelines
that their printer, Quebecor had developed and which were not digitally sound.
Please keep in mind that DC was looking for guidelines that WORKED
and would result in files that would be uniformly similiar in size,
and approximately the same amount of time to process (RIPing sequence). Quecebor's own technical director
approved these guidelines and hailed them as a huge improvement.
Please
note that I do endorse RGB coloring methods, as long as you have
your
Photoshop Color Settings set accordingly, and do the
required conversion to CMYK
color-space yourself. No printer is
ever responsible for “Getting it RIGHT”, you are.
You are the Artist, it's your responsibility!
It is my hope that many colorists experiment with applications like
procreate
Painter 8.
The enormous variations of paint styles, and
paint brushes used in this application lends itself to unique artistic
expression, and this is truely what every comics publisher desires.
With this basic foundation, I open the roundtable to all. Email me at
the Contact Us link for further dialogue.
Download
the PDF guidelines by Clicking
Here!
During
the coming months I will attempt to update these guidelines for
the new releases of Adobe
Photoshop CS3, and Quark
XPress 7.

a collective area of interest for the avid comics enthusiast. The wide variety
of comics being published may appear daunting at first, however it is our belief
that there is
something for everyone, for the young and adult alike. You'll
find each one of the companies
below produces a random assortment of goods from
comics to statues, lunchboxes, posters,
and even the odd zippo lighter.
Go have
fun already, and remember that the comic book is a distinctly American art-form!
