Submit to FPO

---
IF PRINT IS DEAD, WHAT ARE WE ALL STILL DOING HERE?
---

FPO will thrive fully with your contributions and we await them with open arms. Please be aware, though, that we will not publish everything we receive as we will be editing to have the most engaging content possible. We are looking for printed matter that is either wildly innovative or prudently robust, meaning we will be as impressed by an 8-color, french-folded annual report printed on four different paper stocks as we will be by a 1-color business card printed on cardboard. The common set of attributes we will be looking for are simply: outstanding design and skillful production. We are also adamant about maintaining the content fresh, so we will focus on current work and will not publish work that is six or twelve months old.

Options for submitting work before filling out the form below:

/ Send us an e-mail with a few attached images or a link to your web site.

/ Send us the actual, finished project by mail to:
UnderConsiderationLLC
5618 Shoalwood Ave.
Austin, TX 78756

/ Or, you can go ahead and fill out the whole form if you have a few extra minutes to spare.

Once you are ready to submit the full project:

/ Fill out the form to the best of your abilities. This is the part that truly makes this blog different. We are aware, specifically, that revealing the cost might be something to make you wary, but it really helps give context to the work.

/ You can supply your own images via e-mail or through FTP (yours or ours, no problem). 72 dpi and at least 600 pixels wide is ideal.

/ If you have not photographed the project it’s no problem, send it to us (see address above) and we will take our own shots.
