Is there a way to reduce the white space on the page of your
illustrations before it goes to print? Just thinking...

Hello,
I cleared up the authorship issue with the scientist. He said that
they worked on the results for the article for 10 years, so he is
very attached to his name and his technician's to be listed as the
2 authors. However, he will acknowledge my work on the layout for
my figures in the acknowledgements and will compensate me for the
extra time. So this is great.
Now, the final issue, is that he is going to drastically shrink my
art by more than 50% to get the figures to fit in two columns.
Initially we had done lots of planning on the size of the figures
and the size of the labels in the expectation that they would not
be shrunk! I'm also concerned about the integrity of the art, as
these are stippled illustrations. The stipples may blur together
with such a huge reduction in size. Part of the size issue, is I
have so much white space on my Illustrator layout page that this
reduces the size even more. Can illustrators ever say that their
illustrations were shrunk in production?
Any suggestions? I'm assuming he has to pay for each published
page, and the whole article in manuscript form is about 34 pages,
so it may be longer than he had expected. Perhaps I could subtract
some of my pay to pay for an extra page for my drawings?
Thanks,
Jan
