Greetings SLD and Flagship Eclipse members,

 

With the initial 70 now completed and another volunteer stepping up, we'll move into Phase III of this card run.

 

Note: we only produce the artwork files; each member will be responsible for the printing and quantity of their own cards.

 

What do we need from you?

1. High resolution (300dpi or greater) photos for the front and back side of your card (you do not have to have a true "bucket off" photo on the back if you don't want to).*

2. Name, TKID, and all other information you would like to have on your card.**

3. Background choice (If you wish to make your own background, that's fine, but again make sure it's at least 300dpi.)

4. Your Garrison's high resolution logo (if you have access to it).

 

Where do you send it?

Please send all pictures and information to thxboy at REDACTED!!! GO TO THE REAL POST.

 

The process:

-After Chris receives your email, he will then assign you the next sequential number in the series. You do not get to choose your card number.

-When the initial draft of the card is completed, you will be sent a proof to review (.jpg). Changes are made and the proofs updated until everyone is happy.

-Once you are satisfied with your proof, you will then be sent the PDF printing files that you'll need to actually have the cards printed.

 

-The absolute best place we were able to find is a fantastic printer who does ship all over the world:

 

GotPrint.com (when you click the link, it takes you to the correct type of card to order: Collector Card)

 

Here's what options you'll want to choose:

Paper: 14pt Gloss Coated Cover with UV (C2S)

Color: Color Both Sides

Quantity: _____ (up to you)

Printing Turnaround Time: Standard

Round Corners: leave unchecked

UV Coating: check mark this box

File Delivery Methods: radio button on for Upload: Manual Proof 24 Hrs

Proof: Manual Proof 24 Hrs by eMail

Shipping: _____ (up to you)

 

You'll then go on to an upload section to upload your card artwork (which will have "A" for front and "B" for back indicated on your PDF file names). Next you'll go to an Add to Cart section, and finally to Checkout & Purchase. It's that simple! If you would like cards from other members, please feel free to trade them here on the board or in PM/e-mails.

*The photos you submit must be in high resolution of at least card size (2.5" X 3.5") and at least at 300dpi (dots per inch). Professional photos are ideal against a plain background, but not required. As long as they are high resolution, we can work with them.

 

**On the backside, there is a wide range of information you can provide to us. You can do a simple bio (as shown in the example below), or you can provide us with various other bits of information such as Callsign (username), Service, Other Costumes, Legion Member Since, Other Detachments, Squads, etc. For more examples of what you can do, please feel free to browse the completed cards in the Proof Thread: http://forum.501stsithlords.com/index.p ... topic=5636
