The Gem Graphics [OPEN]

Introduction/Information

┏━━━༻༺━━━┓
WELCOME

┗━━━༻༺━━━┛

Welcome to TGC's Graphic shop.

We went on hiatus for quite a while and we apologise. Our reason is simple: We were short of designers and we needed hands to make this sector work.

To become a DESIGNER, please visit our 'Get to know TGC' book.

How this works:
In a normal environment, you open this book and get here. You obviously have a request, so you move through to the rules below and read through. The password is located in the rules, please, ensure you find it.

The next step is choosing a designer. Some people might have genre specifications, others won't. Pick a designer of you're sure what they offer is what you want. There will be examples of each person's designs for you to see.
We have a hiatus system for designers, so ensure you pick one whose status says 'open'.

There will be a request form after the designers' pages. You simply fill out the form for the graphic you want and tag the designer. Not all of them have access to this account, so they won't get the notification until you've tagged their personal account. It will be given, don't worry.

The next step will be to wait. If there are payments, don't make them until the designer has given you the go-ahead. If they accept your request, you will be free to proceed with payment. It will be delivered based on both your deadline and the designer's capability. You'll be in touch with the designer from that point on so once again, don't worry.

After your design is ready, it will be delivered here, and through whatever means you choose to receive it. If, for quality, you want it via discord or e-mail, no problem. You just have to specify.

After that, thank you.
We hope you've had a pleasing experience. Feel free to give us a shoutout saying that. Refer us to friends and may your writing journey be fruitful.

RULES

┗━━━ ༻༺ ━━━┛

    1)Be considerate and respectful. If we botch your cover, we apologise in advance.
We will fix it, but the duration depends on the designer you request. We all do things differently.

     2) You must complete the payment before we deliver your cover. This is to ensure security of our terms and conditions.

    3)If you don't like something, tell us. We're people too, and we appreciate your honesty. However, we'll also appreciate your politeness about any discomfort you may encounter.

    4) Your cover may take time to make, depending on its complexity, but that is because we work hard to bring out the best results. If it is something we can't do, we'll let you know, so that you don't wait too long.

    5) None of our designers will make nude covers here, not even if it's hentai. Sorry if that's what you want, but it just won't happen. The password is near, read closely.

    6) Credit your chosen designer, please. It could be on your blurb.

    7) You must use the graphic for a minimum of two weeks. If you take it off before two weeks are completed, you're saying that you hate it, and that you shop hopped.

    8) Be detailed. If you have specific desires, colors, fonts, pictures, kindly let us know. We can't read your mind to see what you want. You're an author, use your skills and describe what you want. If it's impossible, we'll tell you. The password is any word that makes no sense to you...like serendipitous.

    9)Please, don't request here if you have another request pending elsewhere. Cancel that one before filling out a form here. If it doesn't work out, then you're free to move on (hope you don't, but yeah).
