ARTWORK SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Because your design will be turned into our official Paddle To The Sea 2010 t-shirt, please take care to follow these guidelines to insure your design will look impeccable on our shirts. Your artwork may be provided in either of the following formats. Digital artwork Images created in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Freehand, Adobe Acrobat Reader, are preferred by t-shirt printers over mechanical and hand-drawn artwork for quality of the end result and efficiency. If your digital artwork file ends with any of these suffixes, it can be used to properly prepare your art:.ai, .bmp, .eps, .gif, .pct, .pdf, .psd, .tiff. The standard resolution for artwork is 300 dpi (dots per inch). Hand-drawn artwork A logo that's been drawn by hand is a great starting point, but it will need to be digitized and modified for practical use. Artwork can be supplied on a sheet of white paper, and should be no larger than 8.5" x 11" as it will require scanning and being brought it into a graphic program. If you choose to mail a hand-drawn design to our San Francisco office please take care to ensure your piece will not be bent or damaged in the mail. Please send any questions to Karyn Barnes at karyn@tuolumne.org or call (415) 882-7252 ext. 304.
