Designs must comply with design specifications
Golden Coil trademarks on front and back covers must remain in place
Original design must be at least 9 x 12
No additional gold foiling on front or back covers
SUBMISSION SUGGESTIONS:
We have found that people respond to designs best when they are photoshopped onto one of our planners. We have provided some templates in our Dropbox folder for you to use.
We recommend avoiding large, empty swaths of color in your design. This prevents banding when the cover is printed. Multiple color elements tend to work best.
Note that your design will need to be large enough to wrap around the edges of the planner. Please make sure that your pattern/design extends the full width and length of 9 x 12 in.
When creating your design, think of what kind of design you would want to be on the planner you purchase.
