Everything you need to know when creating

Feel free to search for specific topics in this page: Use Ctrl + F for example

First of all

1. You need to have an account for creating a page. You can register here

2. You should be familiar with the Terms of Use, because the pages you create are free to use* for other people.

The Basics

3. Let‘s say you want to create a page—here are the first steps:
You go to Shelves (top right corner). You choose the shelve -> book -> chapter that is suitable for your page. Create a new page. There should be a template visible for you automatically—from here on out you are guided through the process of creating a full page.
If anything you need is missing contact me.

4. For the heading: Include your artist name in brackets and use the official latin name (Terminologia Anatomica) for the page heading if possible. Example: Musculus trapezius (xlas)

5. I want every artist to have freedom in how he/she wants to create a page for the AnatomyArchive. Stay close to the templates, so that all pages are readable, but don't be shy to alter small things.

6. Look at the two example pages Musculus trapezius and Musculus rectus abdominis for reference. Feel free to copy from them.

Also Important

7. You can save a page as a draft, close the site and work on it later. However, if you publish a page and it is not finished yet -> add the tag "not final" (you can add tags on the right hand side in the page editor) and write this somewhere:

not final

8.  Turn on shortcuts, makes your life easier. You can find them in My Account.

9. Avoid using/drawing explicit content as much as you can -> I don't want to age restrict the site, if possible.

The Drawings

10.

  • You can technically use any image size you want, but there is a maximum upload size of 20MB per image.
  • For digital art I liked 1500x1000px. It is big enough to look good, but doesn't take too much space. Also good for loading times.
  • The minimum width however is 350px so that the image fills the whole mobile width
  • Avoid putting 2 pictures beside each other (it causes bugs sometimes)
  • If possible draw on grey background, so that its appealing in both dark and white mode
  • Here is a color sheet for some important colors, in case you want to use them (you don't have to)
