1. Design Tip of the Week: Saving Your Work
     

    January 29th, 2010

    We get a lot of questions about saving work on our site, and whether or not customers need to save their work in order to successfully place an order. The simple answer is no; you can visit our site, design or upload a file, and checkout in just a few short minutes without ever creating an account. But a great option that our site offers is the ability for customers to create an account and save their work to be edited or ordered in the future. So here’s how:

    Save your work

    When you are in the design tool and have finished designing your template, click the “Save My Work” button on the left side of the page. (Only the current page that you are designing and future pages that you create will be saved, so if you are designing a two-sided business card, make sure that you initiate this step on the first side of the card so that your first side is saved!) This prompts you to navigate away from the page to set up an account. If you already have an account, enter your information and the page you are currently working on will be saved. Otherwise, you can create a new account. Fill in your information and once you click “Register,” you will receive confirmation on the screen with your login information, as well as a confirmation email to keep for future use. Enter your email and password, click Login, and your saved works are available to be managed!

  2. Design Tip of the Week
     

    January 4th, 2010

    The design tip of the week took a short hiatus, but it’s back this week to help you make the most of designing your eco friendly products. This week’s tip is about uploading images to your business cards, and an additional feature that few people have discovered.

    Adding an image to your business card, or any of our eco-friendly products for that matter, adds a unique touch to your design. Position a portrait of yourself in the upper left corner so clients and business associates can remember your face. One of the coolest aspects of the image upload feature is that you can replace your entire background with your image. No need to worry about centering your image or bringing your text to the foreground; it’s all formatted for you.

    Here’s how: While in your selected template, click “Add an Image.” Choose your file and agree to the “Rights Reserved” terms. Once your image is uploaded, check to replace your background image. The image replaces the entire background of the template, while leaving the text boxes in their original place.

    Play around with this feature, and try adding images to different design templates until you find the one you like the best! And let us know what you think… we’re always looking for ways to improve our site and the user experience. Happy printing!
