Program for Custom Field Covers

[Paul Kian]

Hi all,

For those of you who have designed Custom Field Covers, what programs did you use? I'm currently trying to use Inkscape, but it's far from intuitive and I keep botching something or another each time. Before I pull more hair out, I'd like to see what else is out there.

I know Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator is the gold standard, but I'm looking at all the free/cheap options before I bite the bullet and drop the cash for the Adobe Suite.

I have a Windows 10 PC if that helps.

Thanks!

Also, I'm planning to submit the designs to Tutor for a quote, so if Doug or anyone else knows what their preferences in file size, format, etc are I will be happy to oblige. 😁

I just use Power Point. You can make the slide size the size of the field cover you want. Save the file as pptx. and then save as a pdf. I did this for some corn hole game 2' x 4' vinyl covers and sent the pdf. to a company that does viynl car wraps, They were able to use the pdf. file to print the covers from.

Awesome, I actually know how to use PowerPoint! 😆 How do you scale the yard lines and such?

I just copy and paste a field graphic and add logos or what ever to it.

I use a combination of programs.  Paint and a program I found called photopea.  It's a online photo editor that can be found here photopea.com  You can edit photoshop psd files in this program and reimage the size to your liking.  I have made many 620 size fields with this program.
