300 PPI

300 PPI. I'm not even sure what those letters stand for. Something about pixels, I guess. And that's how book covers are supposed to measure up. So the day I put in KOK's cover with a link to the publisher, I find out that it's not 300 PPI. The only thing that might save it is that I did shrink it down. But here's the confusing part. The template that they sent me indicated the cover must be 6.125 inches by 9.25 inches. So I used the virtual ruler on the computer program and made it to that exact measurement. But I shrunk it down to that measurement instead of cropping it. So maybe that is what happened. We'll see how it turns out. But that cover to the right of this post may not be the final one. It's no disaster, because if it doesn't measure up, the art department at Melange said they will come up with something similar. So at least they know what kind of cover design I want and I won't get a topless male model on there.
