A good story plus a good design with a good image makes the life of editors easier and gets your work published almost instantly, guaranteed. A good story is both the text and the background - history that describes your design, a good image is for example suitable for printing, sharp, clean, detailed, high-resolution, perhaps placed on a good background for ease of placing within the page, an interesting design is something original, innovative, attractive.
