Student Submit - Columbia GSAPP

Abstract Submission

Please contact the Abstract editors if you have any questions regarding the publication or submission process.

Requested Materials

Students can upload text-based project descriptions directly via this form. We will use these descriptions for social media posts as well as the print publication of ABSTRACT.
Please note that faculty are provided with upload links to submit high-resolution files of student works (drawings, model photos, walk-through animations, etc) directly to Abstract's editorial team. If your instructor has requested for you to submit directly to Abstract, please contact our editorial team and we will provide you with a link.

Guidelines

Do not submit wall-sized boards, multi-page PDFs, or multiple drawings or images in a single image file. 
Raster images (images, such as renderings, photographs, or collages) should be saved with the following specs: 8-bit TIFF files, CMYK colorspace (not RGB), and approximately 8x10” at 300 dpi, but no larger than 11x17” at 300dpi. Files should not be compressed or contain layers or alpha channels. 
Vector images (line work, such as AutoCAD or Illustrator drawings) should be saved as .AI (Adobe Illustrator) files, in CMYK color space (not RGB). 
Physical models should be photographed, color corrected in Photoshop, converted to CMYK, and saved in an 8-bit TIFF format (300 DPI and approximately 8"x10"). The files should be flattened and not contain layers or alpha channels. 
Make sure that all solid “black” areas are true black (C=0%, Y=0%, M=0%, K=100%), not “rich black” (C=100%, Y=100%, M=100%, K=100%)
For vector files, Make sure that ALL lines are at the very least 60% black, optimally 100% black. If you want to have line hierarchy, achieve that through lineweights, not through making lines gray.
Please do not include any text embedded in your images
