Home EdaFace Component 6: Blockchain Literature BCL Production Article
Every publication minted on EdaFace Blockchain Literature (BCL) – including books, certificates, reports, magazines, manuals, journals, and other printable documents – is represented by two separate cover assets:
(1). Print Master
(2). Marketplace Master
These two assets serve different purposes and should be prepared independently to ensure the highest quality for both publishing and blockchain presentation.
The Print Master is the original front cover designed for printing and publishing. It preserves the publication exactly as intended by the creator and serves as the authoritative archival version.
The Print Master is used for:
(a). Clickable PDF editions
(b). Printed books
(c). Certificates
(d). Reports and other printable documents
(e). Promotional posters
(f). Long-term archival
This Print Master version should always remain faithful to the original publication and should not be modified for marketplace presentation.
(a). Resolution:
1024 × 1536 pixels or higher while maintaining the same aspect ratio.
(b). Aspect Ratio:
2:3 (Width : Height).
(c). File Format:
PNG or JPG
(d). Maximum size:
Five megabytes (5 MB).
The Marketplace Master is a separate cover created specifically for digital presentation on EdaFace Blockchain Literature. It is the image displayed throughout the marketplace and represents the NFT edition of the publication.
Unlike the Print Master, the Marketplace Master is not a flat cover. It should be rendered as a realistic 3D hardcover book that showcases the publication as a premium collectible.
The Marketplace Master is used for:
(a). NFT minting
(b). Marketplace listings
(c). Marketplace thumbnails
(d). Social media promotion
(e). Digital catalogues
(f). Marketing materials
1080 × 1080 pixels
(b). File format:
(c). Maximum File Size:
Five megabytes (5 MB)
To maintain a consistent, premium appearance across the EdaFace Blockchain Literature marketplace, every Marketplace Master should meet the following requirements:
(a). Present the publication as a realistic 3D hardcover book.
(b). Use a transparent (or effectively background-free) PNG.
(c). Crop the image tightly so the book occupies most of the canvas.
(d). Avoid decorative backgrounds, scenery, furniture, people, or environmental elements.
(e). Present the publication as a premium collectible suitable for both minting and marketing.
The Marketplace Master should appear as though the canvas contains only the book itself.
(a). Transparent background
(b). Book tightly cropped
(c). Approximately 2 to 5 pixels of transparent margin around the outer edges to prevent clipping
(d). Book fills approximately 85 to 90% of the canvas
For visual consistency across the marketplace, creators should:
(a). Maintain a consistent camera angle.
(b). Maintain a consistent viewing perspective.
(c). Use realistic hardcover thickness.
(d). Apply professional studio lighting.
(e). Use soft, natural shadows.
(f). Preserve all original typography.
(g). Preserve all logos, artwork, embossing, textures, and decorative elements.
(h). Maintain the original proportions of the cover.
(i). Never stretch, compress, or distort the artwork.
For the highest-quality marketplace presentation:
(a). Keep the book centered.
(b). Ensure the book occupies approximately 85–90% of the canvas.
(c). Avoid excessive empty space.
(d). Use consistent lighting across all editions.
(e). Maintain a consistent perspective throughout a publication series.
(f). Preserve the integrity of the original cover design.
Traditional book covers are designed for printing, whereas marketplace images are designed for digital presentation.
Using separate Print Master and Marketplace Master assets enables creators to:
• Preserve the original publication for printing and archival purposes.
• Present a visually appealing NFT edition.
• Maintain a consistent appearance throughout the EdaFace Blockchain Literature marketplace.
• Improve discoverability and marketplace presentation.
• Enhance collector confidence through professional visual standards.
The Marketplace Master should always be created specifically for digital display and must not be a simple export of the Print Master.
The Print Master preserves the original flat cover for publishing, printing, and archival purposes, while the Marketplace Master transforms that cover into a professionally rendered 3D hardcover optimized for NFT presentation.
Following these standards ensures that your publication on EdaFace Blockchain Literature (BCL) is presented with a consistent, professional, and premium appearance that meets modern digital publishing and blockchain marketplace expectations.
