Have the graphics kit brief filled in before you open the template
This is a suggestion, not a standard. We do not do your job: this list is a starting point, to be added to, cut down and rephrased to suit the way you work.
The questions
The machine
To draw a kit to the right dimensions, I need to know what you ride.
What would you like to cover?
What is being covered · Required
The answers offered:
- Motocross
- Enduro
- Trials

Make and model
Short text · Required
For example: Yamaha YZ 250F, KTM SX-F 450, Sherco SE 300.
Model year
Number · Required
The year is essential: the plastics change from one generation to the next.
Are your plastics the original ones?
Dropdown · Optional
Aftermarket plastics do not have quite the same cutouts, so the kit is traced differently.
The answers offered:
- Yes, original plastics
- No, aftermarket plastics (Polisport, UFO, Acerbis and so on)
- I do not know
Race number
Short text · Optional
Leave it empty if you do not race.

The name that will appear on the kit. Leave it empty if you do not want one.

Your colours and the parts to be covered.
Main colour

Anything you would like to add?

How it works
1
You pick your trade
When you sign up, and the questions on this page are already in your account. You cut them down, add to them and rephrase them: nothing is fixed.
2
You send one link
Your client answers from their phone, when they can, and uploads their files. They install nothing, create no account and choose no password.
3
What follows stays in one place
The conversation, the chasing, the later rounds of questions, the deposit and the balance, and the delivery of the files, which can open on its own once the payment settles.
What it costs
Frequently asked questions
- What should you ask before designing a graphics kit?
- The make, the model and the year of the machine, because the template depends on all three. Then the race number, the parts to cover (mudguards, number plates, shrouds, swingarm), the sponsor logos in vector and the colours to keep to.
- How do you get sponsor logos in vector format?
- By asking for them in the brief, with the accepted extensions written beside the field. A client who reads “.ai, .eps or .pdf” goes and finds the right file; a client asked for “the logo” sends a screenshot from Instagram.
