Zazzle is a print on demand company, meaning that the items are printed once the order has been placed.
For this reason, customers that shop at Zazzle, can usually have the option to add customization to the products that they select. I say usually, because each artist that creates designs that are sold on Zazzle products, decides whether or not that design can be customized. For instance, a designer might have a specific quote and/or design that they do not want changed. For designs that can be changed however, there will be a Customize button near the product.
Usually a design can be customized in a variety of ways:
1. A change in the product style and/or size that the design is on.
2. A change in the text – It can be the text itself; the font style, size, and/or color.
3. A change in moving images and/or text around.
4. On some items, customers may also have the choice of changing borders and/or background colors. This can depend on the original design and how it is made, and also can depend on which product the item is on; i.e. postage stamps have the option of a border color, cards do not. But on a card, one can shrink the design size and then add a background color to achieve a similar border effect.
Another easy customizing feature that one might see on Zazzle, when ordering products that can be personalized, is a template form. Some designs are posted with a template form that allows for easy changing of text, and/or exchanging an image for one that you have stored on your computer. If you need more or less lines of text than what is presented on the template form, you can then also click on Customize to also change font, font size, etc., and do all of the other customizing as listed above.

New wedding design by CherylsArt, a beach scene
17 SepThis one is in the works, I started the basecoats while I was working on the Pumpkins in love design. Today, I fine tuned the colors and added dimension. The sky is a pale blue with a touch of white and lavender. The ocean is blue with aqua and gray, and white bluish waves. The sand is a light tan/off white with touches of tan and gray, with smooth wet sand turning into dry sand as you move towards land.
Right now, said painting is drying. The next step I plan to take is to paint a beach umbrella in the sand, two toned, with “Our Wedding” written in the foreground, over the sand.
I also might make it available without an umbrella too. We’ll see when it dries, and you can also let me know here in the comments section. Which do you prefer? – beach umbrella, or no beach umbrella. And if yes to the umbrella, what color(s) would you like it to be?
I was thinking of aqua and white, seems to go with the color scheme already there, but you can let me know what you think if you’d like something different. I’ll be sure to check here before starting the next step.
In the meantime, check out my other wedding designs at www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/ under the Product Lines – Wedding.
Thanks.
