Step 2: Design Your Own Pin

Choose Your Theme

  • Think about what your pin should represent — a logo, phrase, mascot, or symbol.

  • Keep your audience in mind (school spirit, event branding, business promotion, personal flair).

  • Select Colors

    • Use your brand colors or something bold that will stand out.

    • Stick to 3–5 colors for a clean, polished look.

  • Design the Artwork

    • Keep it simple! Too much detail can get lost on a small pin.

    • Use bold outlines and high contrast for clarity.

  • Add Text (Optional)

    • If you include words or a slogan, use a bold, easy-to-read font.

    • Make sure text is large enough to stay legible once printed.

  1. Finish Your Design

  • Double-check colors, text, and layout.

  • Save your file in PNG, SVG, or PDF format (high resolution).

  • If possible, use a transparent background.

  • Open Your Email App

    • Start a new email.

    • Address it to: [shop.pinitpretty@gmail.com]

  • Write Your Subject Line

    • Use: Pin Design Submission – [Your Name/Organization]

    • Example: Pin Design Submission – Allyson Mills
