Artwork we Accept

The first hour of art is FREE with AntonSport. After that, there is a fee of $35 per half hour for complex Custom Art. All negative references to schools will not be printed. This includes, but not limited to profanity, offensive words or gestures, illegal activities such as alcohol or drug use, and racially derogatory messages. Also Copyright / Trademark Use. Basically, if you don’t own it…we probably can’t print it.

There are several file formats we accept for artwork however vector artwork is preferred. This means that the artwork is made up of paths, or strokes which lead through locations called control points. These vector-oriented images are more flexible than bit-maps because they can be resized and stretched without a loss in fidelity.

The benefit to using a vector format allows our artists to manipulate each layer of your art and resize it without losing image quality making the process that much cleaner and faster!

As shown above, using a vector based artwork allows our artists to scale the artwork to a larger size and not lose any image quality giving you a top-end quality product.

Don’t forget to create outlines for all your fonts to make your text appear exactly as it should!!

Outlining your Fonts

There are thousands of different fonts in existence and each one has its own unique flavor. A font can speak volumes about the business, club, or individual it represents. That’s why we take fonts very seriously and choose each one with care.

When you come to us with your artwork we often run into the problem that comes with copyrighted fonts. If a font is copyrighted, Illustrator will not preserve that font. This means that we may see a font like the image on the right (see below) when in reality your artwork looks like the image on the left.

When a font is outlined it is turned into a vector shape. This means you can no longer edit the type but it also means that the artwork will always look the same no matter which computer you open it in.
