Ask for a design

Every design starts with a request. It takes a few minutes, and you get an email with your job number straight away.

Fill in the form

1. On the home page, press New Design Request.
2. Leave Request Type on Design Request. (Already have finished artwork? See Get your own artwork checked.)
3. Fill in your name, Email and, if you like, a phone number. A phone number means you also get a text when your proof is ready. Put anyone else who should see the proofs in CC Email.
4. Pick your Ministry, then the Project or Event Name and Project/Event Date. Add a Start Time and Location if you have them.
5. Under What do you need made?, tick everything you need. Each choice says what it is — most events need an Announcement Slide and a Flyer.
6. Answer Print Needs. Choose Yes if anything should be printed, and say how many in Quantities and details (for example “250 flyers, 4 posters”).
7. In Project or Event Description, tell us what it is and the look you’re after: key wording, dates and times, Scripture, colours.
8. Drop in anything that helps under Attach Files: a logo, photos, last year’s version. Up to 15 files, 25 MB each.
9. Press Submit Request.

Starting from a Planning Center event

Doing it again next year
