Technical Requirements #
- Files must be compatible with Adobe CC applications.

- Smart objects: Place your design here (Double click to edit)
- Layer Inside the Smart Object: Place your design here
- Adjustment layers that allow changing the color should be named as Color or Color “______” indicating the name of the object or the part that it modifies (Color Tshirt).
- Adjustment layers that apply an effect to the scene should be named FX followed by the effect applied “FX light” “FX shadow” “FX vignette”
- All the masks applied to a Smart Object should be linked to the object, unless the PSD is a Scene Creator.
- A blue label should be applied on every object/layer the user can modify or interact. For instance: smart objects and color options. Also FX layers, but only when it’s an aesthetic aspect.
- Editable background: An editable background adds more versatility to the file. Everything should be done to make the experience as easy as possible for the user.
- Fonts: In case your file has text, this must be editable. Unless, it is a font free for commercial purposes.
- Social Media: If the design contains social media logos, these must be updated.
- Brands: Any brand should be removed from the image before submitting the file (Apple, Samsung, Sony, etc.).
- Editorial design and images with templates: Photos cannot be included in the editable files. The photo may only be included in the design preview JPG shown on the website and it must be free for commercial use. In this case, the message IMAGE NOT INCLUDED must be displayed on the preview image.
- Transparency: We recommend that the individual elements should be transparent so they can adjust to the applied background.
- Balanced Composition: When including various elements in the same file, the composition should be clean and balanced, and the elements shouldn’t overlap over another.
