ARTWORK TIPS

1.	In order to find a company logo in vector format, try contacting the original designer or person in charge of printed company material. All logos are usually created vector format.
2.	In order to select a Pantone colour, you need to refer to a Pantone chart or booklet. Try your company's marketing departent or a local art supply store.
3.	As you design, try to picture your jersey as it would look while you are cycling. Sleeves and side panels provide lots of exposure for logos. Also, remember that zippers can affect your logo. If possible, try to leave space on either side of the zipper. If your logo is directly on top of the zipper, try to add a little space through your logo to allow the zipper to run through it without cutting out some of the artwork. We also also offer invisible zippers for a small surcharge to avoid this problem.
4.	Design your jersey layout for the smallest size jersey you are ordering. The background artwork should bleed out to the largest size while the critical elements of your design should remain within the boundaries of the smallest.
