How to upload your designs
To upload your design, follow the below steps:
- Make sure you have saved your file as an InDesign Template (.indt file extension).
- Sign in to your TemplateCloud account and go to ‘Create New Template’.
- Give your design a title and to select the size and specification of your file (ie. is it single or double sided).
- Set your royalty and choose whether you would like it to increase with each sale or stay at a fixed rate. We usually recommend a royalty based on the size of your file and how many Fotolia images you have used, be careful not to set your royalty too high as this could prevent it from selling very well.
- Upload you file and build your template. You will be prompted to replace any missing fonts at this stage with fonts from the Linotype library (see this post for more information on fonts you can use in your designs).
- Test your template and make sure it works as you expect for the end client before saving it to proceed to the next step.
- Tag your template as appropriate using tags from the list to help end clients search for your design. Make sure you add at least one tag from the Industry Type tab or add a tag if none are suitable.
- Choose a maximum of three colors based on the main colors used in your design. Again this is to help end users when searching for designs of a particular color.
- Read and accept our Terms and Conditions to submit your design for approval.
You can view all of your designs from your dashboard which will allow you to see when your design has been approved and uploaded for sale.
