FAQ

If your question was not answered by our submission guidelines or deadlines maybe we can answer it here for you.

Q. Can I send in my designs after the dead line or well before?

A. Yes. If approved, we will reserve it for the next release. If you need to request an extension for a particular release, please feel free to contact us.
 

Q. When sending in designs for consideration your guidelines say send a high quality jpeg. What do you consider a high quality jpeg?

A. A 72 dpi jpeg saved at 90% quality is fine. Please do not send a full resolution jpeg saved at 100% quality. These can often be just as big as the original files.
 

Q. What file formats can I send my accepted artwork in?

A. Preferred file format is Adobe Illustrator (v.10) eps. Layered Photoshop and Freehand files are acceptable as well. If your design includes text please make sure to either convert the text to outlines or include the fonts when sending file artwork
 

Q. Your guidelines say no fine lines or details but I see some on your cards?

A. We can add fine detail using offset lithography and foilstamping. There are production limitations to incorporating these processes with silkscreening. Our art department will contact you if we anticipate problems producing a selected design.
 

Q. I sent in my designs for consideration - how long until I hear back from Great Arrow?

A. We try to respond to all artwork submissions within three weeks but sometimes we get buried. If you would like your submitted artwork returned - please remember to include a self addressed stamped envelope.
 

Q. I do not see anything about writers guidelines. Do you accept freelance writer submissions?

A. Not at this time
 

Q. I still have questions who should I contact?

A. Email your questions to design@greatarrow.com.
