To create your customized product yourself, you’ll need to use one of our event displays downloadable templates. The templates can be downloaded, and they make it really easy to fit your design onto each of our products. There are templates available for every one of our products — hand flags, banners, backdrops, and everything in between.
Please note, if you’re working with our team on a customized flag that is a custom size, you will not find a template on the above page. Our design team will work with you on creating the design, or we will send you a custom-sized template for your project. If you can't find the template you need, use our contact form or the messenger option in the bottom right corner, and we are more than happy to send it to you.
Once you’ve found your template, the next step is to create your design. Most people use our templates with Adobe Photoshop to create their designs, but other options are available like Adobe Illustrator. When you’re learning how to use a template to design your custom event display, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve downloaded the necessary software to work with vector graphics. Since you’ll be working with layers, it’s important that you are familiar with the software. Start early and spend time getting used to how it works!
If you haven’t used Photoshop before, you can follow easy-to-understand tutorials on the Adobe website. Adobe also offers tutorials for some of their other programs like Illustrator that can be helpful when designing your event display products.
If you don’t already have a logo if you’ve never gone through a design process yourself, or if you don’t have the time to learn how to use design programs or a downloadable template to design your custom event display, not worry! We have designers available to help you!
Working with a designer will ensure that you use the right color options from the Pantone Color Matching System, that you’ve created a vector image, and that your fonts are easy to read. There are many variables that go into creating the perfect design, so if all of these details make you uncomfortable, let us help. A designer can ensure the process is less stressful. If you are ready to tackle the design on your own, let's look at working with layers.
You will definitely want/need to create your artwork on a different layer than the template. Our templates instruct you to “delete” the template layer before submitting the artwork design. This is a crucial step and one that can have a big impact on the design process. While you don’t have to be an expert at design, you will need to know some basic information about working with layers.
Since removing layers is one of the most crucial parts when you’re learning how to use a downloadable template to design your custom event display, you should be familiar with both hiding and deleting.
When you’re designing, it’s simple to hide the layers. This means that the layers are no longer visible to you while you’re designing, but you can still recall them if you need to throughout the project. This is a good option to use while you’re creating the design. Doing this will ensure that you don’t lose your work and unhiding your template layer is a handy reference when you need it.
Once you delete a layer, it is unavailable to the project. If you do this accidentally, you can undo it, but do so right away to avoid losing it. Once it’s deleted, it won’t be available to bring back to the project as it would be if you had hidden the layer. You may only want to delete layers when the project is 100% complete and you’re ready to submit. For more information on managing layers, please check out the Adobe User Guide.
