Providing Artwork
An AI vector file type created by Adobe that can only be created or edited with Adobe Illustrator.
A vector's main advantage over raster is its infinite scalability, there is no quality lost as well as being easily editable specifically colors.
Raster images use many colored pixels or individual building blocks to form a complete image.Because raster images are constructed using a fixed number of colored pixels, they can’t be dramatically resized without compromising their resolution. When stretched to fit a space they weren’t designed to fill, their pixels become visibly grainy and the image distorts. This will result in a pixelated print.
Recommended image size 4500x4500 at 300dpi
RGB vs. CMYK
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the color space for printed materials.
Simply put, CMYK is the color mode intended for printing with ink, such as business card designs. RGB is the color mode intended for screen displays.
When designing, the biggest mistake you could make is forgetting to convert to the appropriate color mode for your project. If you forget to do this, colors could appear washed out or too vibrant.
Brand Guidelines
We provide all our logos and pre-made video intros to utilize for all your needs. So whether you are live-streaming or making a video on Youtube, you can let all know who made your merch and where they can get it.
You can also utilize our branding when making posts on social media wearing and promoting your merchandise, as well as tagging our socials to allow us to help support and increase web traffic and engagement by reposting, liking, and/or commenting.
Taking the extra step to create video advertisements, commercials, and photos will help enhance your marketing capabilities. Having yourself, friends, and members of your community modeling and becoming involved more with your brand will help establish it more. If you submit photos of your merchandise being modeled, it can be reviewed then approved to be added to your product image gallery. This will encourage more people to buy your merchandise when seeing how it looks on a person’s body along with what the product looks like in real life.
Including links to your merchandise store with a panel will help more users engage with your merchandise line. Mentioning this at least 1-3 times on stream is helpful to remind them, mentioning it too much can lead to people not being interested if you are sounding like a salesperson.
