Stock Image Usage The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 9
Stock images are ready-made, royalty-free photos that can instantly make your designs
look more professional. All clients have access to free stock photos via Pexels, Unsplash, and
FreshStock, all of which have extensive libraries of images for your personal and
commercial use.
With stock images, you won’t have to cover the expense of photo shoots; instead, you’ll
have access to thousands of high-quality images and vectors that can elevate your design
requests.
Who chooses the images?
You do — or we can do it for you. Your call.
I want to choose the images. Where can I browse through available images?
In the Design Pickle Platform. You can select stock photos through your request
form. Step 5 of the request form asks: Do you need additional assets? To browse
available images, search by keyword in the search bar and image results will pop up
from your available libraries. FreshStock, Unsplash, and Pexels are included at no
additional cost; Adobe Stock and JumpStory are included with our Premium Stock
add-on (details below). Since access to Premium Stock is made available through
your Design Pickle subscription, you can only explore Adobe Stock and JumpStory
assets in the Design Pickle Platform.
I want my designer to choose the images. How do I let them know this?
Simply provide a clear description of what you want the photos to be. To help your
designer out, let them know about your target audience and what you want the
stock image to accomplish.
Premium Stock Add-On
Go the extra mile with ultra-professional stock images from
Adobe Stock and JumpStory for only $25 per month.
You can add this service at jar.designpickle.com/settings.
Plus, you can try it out for free! All Design Pickle plans come with a free 30-day trial of
Premium Stock — it’s automatically activated in your account upon sign-up. You can turn
off the subscription anytime at no charge within your first 30 days. If not, Premium Stock will
auto-renew, and you’ll be charged the $25 subscription fee. If you decide you want to
unsubscribe, it’s easy.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 10In your account, go to Company Settings > Edit Subscriptions. Then, under the Premium
Stock subscription, click on the drop-down menu. Select Unsubscribe and click Save to
apply your changes.
With Premium Stock, your designer can enhance your designs with high-quality,
professional photos, illustrations, and vector graphics with commercial licensing from the
Adobe Stock and JumpStory libraries.
John Smith
Pickle
Please Note:
While you’re allowed to request stock images from Premium Stock to be used in your
designs, as per our agreement with Adobe Stock and JumpStory, all stock images are
single-use only and cannot be sent to you as stand-alone files.
What you can do with the Premium Stock add-on:
You can use the resulting designs for commercial purposes, such as merchandise.
If you need to use the same stock image for a different design, you can simply make
another request!
What you can’t do with the Premium Stock add-on:
As mentioned, you can’t receive stand-alone files. Premium Stock elements will be
delivered to you as part of a finished design with modifications and other design
elements.
Premium Stock usage is not exclusive to you. Other paid users worldwide also have ac-
cess to these images. With Design Pickle, your designer can take these stock
images to the next level by making modifications to vector illustrations or photos so that
the finished designs are more in line with your brand.
You can’t sell your design as a template that other users can edit and profit from. We
can’t guarantee they’d be covered by Adobe Stock’s and JumpStory’s agreements.

The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 13Subscription Renewal
I just signed up for a month! Why am I being charged again?
Your Design Pickle subscription automatically renews depending on the terms you
chose at sign-up. This enables you to send requests and have access
to your Design Pickle account.
There are two terms we offer to our clients: monthly and annual. For example, if you
signed up on the 10th day of a month and you’re on a monthly subscription, your
next billing date will fall on the 10th day of the following month.
Can’t remember when you signed up?
You can check your billing date by viewing your Billing History.

Request Cutoff Time
Scale:
Request cutoff times are dependent on which time zone you are in.
Requests sent in after the cutoff time will be processed the next day.
Pro:
Request cutoff times are dependent on which time zone you are in.
Your Pro designer works from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. You get to collaborate
with them in real-time via Slack.
Please Note:
All request cutoff times are dependent on which plan and time zone you are in. For more information
on time zones and respective cutoff times click here.
Using Slack for Pro
Slack is the real-time messaging app we use at Design Pickle. Your designers are available
for any questions, comments, or revisions via Slack in your chosen time zone.
When you sign up for Pro, we also welcome you to our online “office” — Slack.
You’ll be added to a private channel within the Design Pickle workspace with your designer, a
Product Specialist, and other members of the Production team. This private channel is where
the bulk of your communication will occur.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 14Slack Tip
We highly recommend that your company has a single, designated person to talk
about your requests with us on Slack. This will make it more efficient for our designers
to determine which of your requests to prioritize.
To get someone’s attention in the Slack channel, just “@” them in your message!
• “Hey @Jessica, just wanted to let you know I submitted a request for our latest ad
campaign. Let me know if you have any questions!”
• “@Matt Arndt, I have a question about billing and was hoping you could help me out.”
• Typing @here will notify everyone currently active in that channel of your message.
• Typing @channel will notify everyone in that channel, regardless of whether they’re
currently online or not.

Service
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 18We’re here to handle design-related projects that would take a huge load off your company’s
task list. There are many things we can do, but to determine if Design Pickle is the right fit for
your business, first ask yourself:
Can I explain what I need in an email?
If the answer is yes, then awesome! It’s time to start requesting. If you feel like you need a
phone call, meeting, or guidance on what to create for your business, Design Pickle may not
be the best fit for you and your brand at this time.

The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 21Creating Requests The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 22
Design Pickle’s request platform is optimized to help you effectively communicate your
design needs. Simply head over to jar.designpickle.com and you’ll be able to send in a
request from there!
Design Request Tips
Describe the Include or Attach any
design you request stock assets, images,
need images or copy
Once you’re done creating your request, simply review your copy and submit it
to your designer!
The Anatomy of an Awesome Request
Your designer is not a mind-reader (yet). That can happen, but the magic usually comes a
little later, once you’ve gotten to know each other after working on a number of requests
together. The secret to getting great design done faster is simply being more detailed in
your written requests.
Name of Request
This is like the subject line of an email — it’s useful to be descriptive.
Examples:
• “Meditation Infographic”
• “Thanksgiving Post for Facebook”
• “Restaurant Flyer”
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 23File Size or Dimensions
If you have very particular file sizes, specify the dimensions.
• “1024x768 pixels, not exceeding 5 MB”
• “2.5x3 inches, 300 PPI/DPI”
So, what’s PPI/DPI? PPI or DPI stand for pixels per inch or dots per inch, respectively.
You’re not required to specify that, though. Just don’t forget to tell your designer if a certain
design is meant for print because this will require a higher PPI/DPI; in that case, your
designer will know what to do. But as long as you specify the size (dimensions), you’re set!
Orientation: Vertical or Horizontal
You can specify your design’s orientation here, too. If not, your designer will assume that
you wrote down the width first (width x height).
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 24Describe What You Want
In as much detail as possible, tell your designer what you’d like designed. You can also
include links or attachments of designs you like as inspiration. Here are some examples of
ways to specify what you want:
• “I’d like this graphic to be clean and bright.”
• “Put the text on the left and the images on the right.”
• “The animated GIF should depict a simple holiday scene with some holiday sparkle.”
• “I need an Instagram image with the look and feel of our prior images —
see attached examples.”
What are you NOT looking for?
You can also tell your designer what you’re not looking for. Here are some examples of
ways to specify what you don’t want:
• “I don’t want anything similar to our old posts.”
• “I don’t want the design to be TOO different from our old designs.”
• “Don’t use red.”
• “Nothing too girly.”
This will lessen the chances of your designer sending you designs that aren’t what
you envisioned.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 25Attachments
For most request types, you may need to send your designer relevant files. Sometimes,
issues with attachments (or a lack thereof) can delay your request’s turnaround.
There are two ways to send us your assets:
1. Attach them to your request. You will be asked to upload any assets, if you have them,
in Step 4 of the request form.
2. Include links to your files in the instructions. You may have already uploaded your files to
Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box. If so, you can simply share links to the files with us.
Sending Us Links to Documents in the Cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, etc.)
Set the file or folder’s privacy settings so that anyone with the link (such as your
designer) has access to viewing and downloading your files. If we can’t access the
files, we may not be able to start working on your request immediately.
Double-checking the file permissions could save you hours!
Sending Images
You can attach images that you would like to be used in the final design. It’s
useful to check for:
Size and resolution. The image quality must be compatible with the size of
the final design. This is especially important for print graphics (which need
300 PPI/DPI resolution). Your designer will let you know if your attached
image will work or if an alternative is needed.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 26Sending Editable Files
Maybe you have an AI, EPS, INDD, or PSD file that needs to be edited, or has
elements that need to be incorporated into your design.
Does your editable file include text?
• If you need the font to be the same, please include the fonts used in the
attachments. Or, if the font is free to download, let us know the font’s name or
send us a link to download it.
• If you need the text to be updated, it should be in text format inside your file.
In some cases, words are rendered as images, making it impossible to copy and
paste the text.
• If the text in your file is no longer in text format but still needs to be updated,
send your designer the complete copy (see Sending Copy below).
Sending Copy
When you send your copy, you need to make sure it’s in real text format — not
an image — so that the designer can highlight, copy, and paste the text into your
design. Here are some tips for faster turnaround:
• Include the copy in your instructions. This works best for short copy like
greetings, addresses, and the like so that you don’t need to send in an
attachment. You can place it in the request form under “Does your design need
to include text?” so it’s distinguishable from the rest of the instructions.
• Text files, Word documents, or Google Docs are ideal, especially if the text is in
a simple, easy-to-copy format.
• PDFs are not ideal because copying and pasting text from PDFs can result in
textual errors. This will slow down the turnaround.
For short lines of text such as “Happy New Year!” it may be OK for your designer
to hand-type your copy (if the copy is sent as an image). However, sending long
blocks of text in image format will not work out; we may request that you resend
your copy in text form.
Please Note:
Your copy should be proofread and ready to publish! Your designer will not be making
adjustments to the text you send — they will simply copy and paste it into your design.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 27Your Finished Designs
File Types
Let your designer know what file type(s) you require. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask your
designer or our Customer Success team for a recommendation depending on the design’s
intended use. At Design Pickle, you can receive your finished request in a variety of file
formats, such as:
• Finished, uneditable designs in JPG, PNG, or PDF format
• Editable source files in AI, PSD, or INDD format
Read this guide for more details about what file types you can receive.
Is copying other designs OK?
Design Pickle will not be liable for any potential copyright or license attribution
issues of the graphics, as we are only following the instructions in the request.
Yay, unlimited requests! But what does unlimited mean?
There is no limit to the amount of content you can have designed. The cost of your
flat-rate subscription will not change no matter how many requests you make.
Awesome! What’s the catch?
Your requests may not all be done the next day. But the amazing part is,
you can be sure that your queue is moving. Your requests are being worked on
every single business day.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 28Request Priority: More Than Just First In, First Out
Each request you make goes into your queue. Your designer will work on each request on
a first-in, first-out basis. But this can be modified as needed, as follows:
• Rearrange your queue by dragging and dropping items up and down (high-priority items
go at the top!).
• You can also mark requests according to urgency (or leave a note within the instructions
that something needs to be done ASAP). Pro tip: Use this power sparingly! Like they say,
when everything is urgent, nothing is urgent.
• Revisions will automatically be given top priority.
You can also monitor your queue via email by subscribing to automatic queue reporting. Au-
tomatic queue reporting helps keep you in the loop about what’s been designed and what’s
still on deck. It also gives you estimations of when requests may be completed.
To manage your daily and weekly reports, head to the Profile Settings in your Design
Pickle account and toggle the reports on or off.
If you would like other users on your account to be copied on the email when a file is
delivered, simply check the “Get CC emails when a request is delivered to another user
at your company” option.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 29Revisions: Easier Than Ever
The Annotations Tool lets you add comments to images, allowing you to
give more precise notes to your designer for revisions.
1. Click on the ‘Add comments to 2. Zoomed in view
delivered files’ button
3. Click on an image to annotate
The Feedback Widget lets you leave a note for your designer (or their team lead).
Whether it’s a kind word or constructive criticism, this tool guarantees the right person
will see it. The Feedback Widget also has a star-rating system for quick feedback.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 30Managing
Multiple
Brands
With Brand
Profiles
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 31You don’t have to limit your account to a single brand. In your Design Pickle account, just go
the main page and select Brands from the navigation on the left.
You’ll be asked for information such as your brand name, brand colors, and brand assets.
Click Save Brand when you’re done. Once you’ve saved your brand, you’ll be able to specify
it in your design requests.
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 32How many brands can I add?
You can add as many brands as you like!
Do I have to create Brand Profiles for all new
or first-time brand requests?
No, however it is highly encouraged that Brand Profiles are created, so that design requests
come back matching your expectations.
What should I include in my Brand Profile?
If you find that you keep reattaching details about a brand, then you can choose to create a
Brand Profile to save time spent typing instructions. Consider including information such as:
• Your brand’s mission and vision
• Your target audience
• What words you would use to describe your brand’s personality
• Your brand’s history, values, and stories
• Some things you’d like your designer to keep in mind when designing for your brand

The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 33Automations:
Integrating
Design Pickle
With Your
Current
Workflow
The Ultimate Guide to Design Pickle | 34Love productivity hacks? Already using different platforms to streamline your processes? We
want to introduce Design Pickle to your daily workflow as seamlessly as possible. By using
Zapier, you can integrate your Design Pickle account with the apps you’re already using. This
way, you can remove manual steps like storing files or checking multiple platforms to get
updates about your design progress — so you can focus on what you do best.
For best results, you’ll need accounts with Design Pickle (obviously), Zapier (of course), and
Gmail. From there, the possibilities are almost endless. Zapier creates connections, or Zaps
(you could call them triggers), between your favorite productivity apps and Design Pickle. This
way, you never have to visit your Design Pickle account to get your designs! Here are some
examples.
Google Sheets
When your design is ready, your Google Sheets row will be updated with
the link to download your completed design. You can submit requests
from your spreadsheet and mark requests as complete.
Asana
Assign an Asana task with a chosen tag, and the request is submitted to
Design Pickle. You can set up an automation that marks Asana tasks as
complete when a design is complete in your Design Pickle account.
Trello
Submit requests from Trello by adding labels to cards, save completed
designs to cards, and receive completed designs via cards. You can set
up an automation to mark completed requests via your Trello cards.
Slack
A Slack bot will post to the channel of your choosing once your files
are delivered from your designer. You can also set Zaps for completed
requests, replies to requests, and more.
WordPress
Add completed designs to your WordPress Media Library. This is super
convenient if you’re getting blog or website graphics done by
Design Pickle!
There are plenty more Zaps you can create — over 2,000! Plus, you can also easily create your
own connections between Design Pickle and your app of choice. As the folks at Zapier say,
“the only limit is your own imagination.”
For more information, you can check out this helpful article out or talk to our Customer
Success team. We’d love to help you streamline your workflow and get the most out of Design
Pickle!
