Yard sign prompt (24 x 18 in)
Copy everything in the box:
You are helping me design a 24 x 18 inch yard sign (24 inches wide, 18 inches tall) that Main Street Shirt Company (Arcola, Illinois) will print for me. Follow these steps in order. Step 1 - Ask me, one short question at a time: - What is the sign for? (graduation, campaign, business, event, sports, other) - The main words, exactly as I want them spelled - A second line, if any (name, year, date) - A small line, if any (phone, website) - Colors I want (school or brand colors) - One side, or a different design on the back? Step 2 - Make the image with these rules: - Make the image wide (landscape), 4:3 if you can, otherwise 3:2. Only make it tall if I ask for a tall sign. - It will be read from a car 30 feet away: no more than 3 lines and about 7 words, big bold easy-to-read letters, high contrast. - Keep all words and logos in the middle 80% of the image. Let the background color or picture fill all the way to every edge. - Flat artwork only: no picture of a sign in a yard, no frame, border, shadow or mockup. - Make the largest, highest-quality image you can. Step 3 - Show me the image and ask me to check every word letter by letter. Fix anything I point out. Remake it if any word is misspelled. Step 4 - When I say it is right, tell me exactly this: 1. Download the image at the largest size offered (PNG if possible). 2. Go to mainstreetshirtcompany.com/pages/custom-signs and choose "Custom Yard Signs 24x18". 3. Pick the number of signs and your stakes (economy stakes work for most yards). For two sides, tick "Print both sides". Upload the image (and the back image if you made one), and check out. 4. Main Street Shirt Company will enlarge it for print, check it before ordering, and contact you if anything needs fixing.
Banner prompt (2x4, 3x5, 3x6 or 4x8 ft)
Copy everything in the box:
You are helping me design a vinyl banner that Main Street Shirt Company (Arcola, Illinois) will print for me. Follow these steps in order. Step 1 - Ask me, one short question at a time: - Banner size: 2 x 4 ft, 3 x 5 ft, 3 x 6 ft or 4 x 8 ft (if I am not sure, suggest one based on how far away people will read it) - Where it will hang (fence, building, booth, indoors) - The main message, exactly as I want it spelled - Supporting words (business name, date, offer) and a contact line (phone, website) - Colors, and whether I have a logo file to add - One side, or both sides (the same or a different design on the back)? Step 2 - Make the image with these rules: - Make it as wide as you can: 2:1 if possible, otherwise 16:9 or 3:2. (3 x 5 ft is closest to 5:3.) - Readable from 50 feet: the main message about one third of the height, no more than 3 blocks of text, bold simple letters, high contrast. - Keep all words and logos in the middle 80% of the image; the edges hold the hem and grommets. Let the background fill all the way to every edge. - If I have a logo, leave a clear space for it and tell me to upload my logo file separately. - Flat artwork only: no picture of a banner hanging anywhere, no frame, border, shadow or mockup. - Make the largest, highest-quality image you can. Step 3 - Show me the image and ask me to check every word letter by letter. Fix anything I point out. Remake it if any word is misspelled. Step 4 - When I say it is right, tell me exactly this: 1. Download the image at the largest size offered (PNG if possible). 2. Go to mainstreetshirtcompany.com/pages/custom-signs and choose "Custom Vinyl Banner". 3. Pick the size, material and finishing. For two sides, tick "Print both sides". Upload the image (plus the back image and your logo file if you have them), and check out. 4. Main Street Shirt Company will fit it to your exact banner size, enlarge it for print, check it before ordering, and contact you if anything needs fixing.
If the first image isn't right
Paste this into the same chat:
Keep this same design but: make the words larger and bolder, spell every word exactly as I wrote it, remove any words I did not ask for, move all words and logos into the middle 80% of the image, let the background reach every edge, and give me flat artwork only with no frame, shadow or mockup. Then go back to Step 3.
Tips
- Check every word before you upload. AI often misspells words on images.
- Have a real logo? Upload that file too rather than letting the AI redraw it.
- No AI app or no time? Tick “We'll design it for you” when you order (+$35), or call us.

How much are they?
Yard signs start at $99 for 10 signs with stakes, and the price per sign drops at 20, 50 and 100. Banners start at $25 for a 2 x 4 ft, with hem and grommets included. Retractable banner stands are $129 with your print. Shipping is $15 per order.
How long does it take?

What file should I upload?
A PNG or JPG straight from your AI app is fine — download the largest size it offers. PDF, SVG, AI, EPS and TIFF work too, up to 25 MB.
Can you design it for me?
Yes. Tick “No art? We'll design it for you” (+$35) when you order. We email you for your words, colors and logo, then send a proof to approve, with one round of changes included.
Will you check my art?
Yes. Before anything is printed we check spelling, size and sharpness, enlarge it for print and fit it to your exact size. If something needs fixing, we email you first.
Are yard signs weatherproof?
Yes. They're printed on 4 mm corrugated plastic that holds up to rain and sun for months outdoors.
Can I order something you don't list?
Usually, yes. Other sign sizes, thicker 10 mm signs, grommets on yard signs and custom banner sizes are available by quote — contact us.
