Creating Artwork in Photoshop or another image editing software

Create your artwork for the largest item you plan to offer in your store. You may need to create different versions of your art if you offer variants with different aspect ratios (square pillow vs. lumbar pillow).

When designing your artwork, please keep important elements, such as text, within the safe area.

When you upload your image to the Gooten Admin, we automatically resize it to fit within the print area, so you don’t need to resize your artwork for the different-sized throw pillows you plan to offer. Still, we recommend you double-check that it fits within the print area.

How the products are printed

Cut-and-sewn products are printed on white or off-white fabric for the best color accuracy.

The different fabrics have slightly different colors and textures, which will create slight variations in the color of your final printed product.

Important notes to remember

  • Patterns and full-bleed images usually turn out the best.
  • Exact placement and pattern alignment are not guaranteed.
  • It’s not possible to perfectly align patterns or images from front to back.
  • For best results, always compare your designs against templates
  • Disclaimer for pillow corners: the corners are not always fully punched out before shipping, so do this upon receipt to achieve a crisp and clean look
