GRAPHIC DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS:

Fill out the Graphic Design Form to:

• Upload the images you want us to use *
• Type out the text you want us to put on each panel of your CD package
• Give us directions about color preferences, style, placements of elements, text alignment, etc.
• Let us know if you have any font preferences

* Images should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. Dots per inch, or dpi is how the resolution of digital images are measured. Imagine that there are tiny dots of ink on the paper. The more dots per inch you can have, the more detailed and clear your images will be. Low resolution files tend to print blurry or pixilated.

Please make sure your document settings and scanner settings are set to at least 300 dpi (sometimes referred to as ppi 'pixels per inch') to get your graphics looking as good as possible. We cannot make your images higher resolution than the original files you send us.

Please fill out one form for each package you've ordered graphic design for. Once you complete one form, simply refresh the page and fill out the form again.
