1. Colour, 300 dpi minimum; please convert all colour files into CMYK mode
2. Greyscale, 600 dpi minimum for blots and black & white photographs
3. Line art, 1000 dpi minimum for graphs and illustrations
4. Please use sans serif typefaces such as Arial or Helvetica in you artwork and when labelling panels
