Creating Artwork for Dr. Don's Buttons, Badges & More

Posters / Rally Signs / Artwork

If you would like us to use artwork that you have, or will produce, please read the following information carefully. By doing so you will learn how we need your artwork sized and set-up, so we will be able to use it when we receive it.

Templates

File formats we can work with

We are able to work with any of the following file formats:


.ai (Adobe Illustrator)
.psd (PhotoShop)
.eps
.tiff
.jpg
.bmp
.pdf

We prefer to work with files that have been saved as .pdf or Adobe Illustrator format (.ai).


If you will be sending us an Adobe llustrator file (.ai) - please save it as version CS 4 or lower; convert all fonts to paths / outlines

Sorry, but we are unable to work with PowerPoint or Publisher files. If you have PowerPoint or Publisher files, please save them as .jpg.


Send us your artwork

If you have a logo, a photo, or any type of clip art you would like us to use, please send it as a high-resolution .jpg or .psd file, preferrably at 200-300 dpi. (300 dpi yields better results).

Potential Issues with Fonts

When we receive artwork that has been created with a font we don't have, problems can arise.

If we don't have the EXACT font that was used (there are many variations of common fonts and there's a good chance those variations will not work), we won't be able to print your design and have it look the way you intended.

However, there are ways around this problem.

If your artwork is created in CorelDraw or Adoble Illustrator, please convert the fonts to what are known as paths / outlines before sending your file. (To convert to paths / outlines simply select all the type in the design and choose the "convert to paths / outlines" option under the type menu).

Another way to avoid font problems is to send your artwork in any of the following file formats (.psd, .jpg, .bmp, or .tif). If you use any of these file formats, we won't have a problem with the fonts.

If you are going to create and send a relatively simple design, it probably would be easier to have our graphics department create the artwork for you. And since basic design and set-up is included in the price, it would probably be easier for you, too.

Digital Printing and Color Matching

The items we produce will be printed on a high-quality Xerox digital color laser printer.

Because we do print digitally, we are unable to offer exact Pantone color matching. If you need an we produce to be color matched, please let us know when placing your order.

Design Services
If you need help creating custom artwork for postcards, push cards, palm cards, or advanced artwork for buttons or lapel stickers, listed below are the names and contact information for several artists we have worked. They are not employed by Dr. Don's Buttons and you would need to speak to them about what you need and what it would cost to use their services.


If you need clip-art for your design, but don't have what you need

If you want to include a graphic image (often referred to as clip art) in your design, but don't have what you need, we have a possible solution.

You can go to clipart.com and look through their vast collection of online clip art. We have a subscription to their service and we can use the clip art found on their site to help create your design.

To facilitate your search, simply enter a word or short phrase that describes what you are looking for in their search window. After viewing the results, if you find a piece of clip art you'd like us to use, click on the item and you will see a file number associated with that piece of clip art. Write that item number down and let us know what it is. We then will be able to find it and hopefully use it to create your design.

Once we receive your artwork, we will create a prototype for you as soon as possible and then post the prototype to a private area of our web site so you can see it. You can then give your approval (or request a revision) before we start producing your order.

Thanks!
