CASTLE NOTES

PRECIOUS MEMORIES COVER ART

2/26/2019

0 Comments

 
The cover art for the upcoming book is almost complete. Below is the first draft. The title is "PRECIOUS MEMORIES - More Stories from the High School of Music and Art." After going through the tribulations of the audition process, the teenager's pensive look of anticipation says it all.

Submissions so far, span love for their art, audition preparation, the excitement of that irreplaceable moment of acceptance and exceptional and enduring relationships in written form and photo memories.

Photos For Book 2 (PRECIOUS MEMORIES)

Photographs are now being requested for the second audition stories book, which has officially been titled "PRECIOUS MEMORIES." It's understandable that none of us took pictures during our audition at Music & Art but if I'm wrong, that would be great. What is being sought is shots involving your time at M&A that you'd like to share. These photographs can either be sent along with your written experience or even by themselves.

Photographer: Lloyd A. Green - June 2016
Criteria for photographs:
​
1. The higher the resolution, the better. Out-of-focus pictures will not appear clearly when reproduced in the book. The harder it is to see the detail, the less likely it would be accepted for the book. That being said, if it's a great photo, it might be accepted anyway.

​
2. Shots can be of the building, memorabilia, students, teachers, school workers or any imagined combination as long as it relates to Music and Art. The more it relates to the 'auditions' theme the better but this part of the criteria is flexible.

3. Only send in photographs that you actually took or you have the permission from the photographer to use. Credits will be attached to all photos.

​4. Make certain that you have the permission of the people in the photo. Just because you own the photo, doesn't mean that the participant wants it to be in print.

5. Give a short description of the scene and the date it was taken.

Please forward all photographs to [email protected]. If it's easier to place it (or them) on Facebook or on this website, you can do so but again, send along the needed information.
