First time - long time fly on the wall...
i'm having issues getting my design 'accepted' by their standards.
I regularly get the msg upon design submission - and i quote:
Some elements in your design do not meet our size requirements. Please make sure that:
- all visible elements of your design are at least 1.5 mm (0.06 inches),
- space in between should not be smaller than 1 mm (0.04 inches),
- text must have a minimum size of 10 mm (0.4 inches),
- the complete design must not be larger than 30 x 30 cm (11.8 x 11.8 inches). We recommend a general size of 22.5 x 22.5 cm (8.86 x 8.86 inches).
so by using vectors - you can't really scale as small as you want... you can as long as it meets the criteria mentioned above.
for me this is torture - since i have a few small elements in my design that puts a hold on the entire thing. and i don't want to create a mamoth print on the shirt. less is more...
and modifying the design to fit the specs would compromise the concept.
Not sure if anyone else has the same issues - but it's very frustrating.
After reading their explanation - it makes sense, but doesn't help me...
They have sample pictures to show 'acceptable' vs 'not acceptable' for the various reasons - but to me, i see elements of their 'accepted' designs that i can't see fitting their criteria.
it's a bit of a pain - i'm going to have to start printing out the designs, measuring, adjusting... lather, rinse, repeat...
Using corel draw - great software. but haven't found how to measure dimensions.
well - still playing. but thought i'd finally jump in on this topic.
