Items you can Order on Chalk Line 

 

We Are Reliant Brochure

Most people in initial MTD order around 200 for giving to potential donors at the end of an MTD presentation. The profile card (below) is designed to be placed inside the brochure, and your photo will show through, making you the face of Reliant.

These brochures are ordered in packs of 50, so to order 200 brochures, order 4 packs of 50.

Photo Resolution Help

When selecting photos for your profile card, it's best to try to get the best resolution possible...

So you have a photo you like, but how do you know it's an OK size for print? Here are a couple of tips for finding out photo size and resolution:

Mac Help

  1. Save the photo to your desktop
  2. Right-click the photo and click "Get Info."
  3. Look for "Dimensions" under "More Info"
  4. Anything above 2000 pixels is probably a safe bet, but remember, if it's blurry on your screen, it could look even more blurry (not less!) on paper.
  5. Email communications@reliant.org if you have specific questions or concerns

PC Help

  1. Save the photo to your desktop
  2. Right-click the photo and click "Properties."
  3. Under "Image," you'll find Dimensions and Resolution
  4. Anything above 2000 pixels is probably a safe bet, but remember, if it's blurry on your screen, it could look even more blurry (not less!) on paper.
  5. 300 dpi (under horizontal and vertical resolution) is best... HINT: Facebook photos are only 72 dpi, which means the resolution is MUCH lower than ideal.
  6. Email communications@reliant.org if you have specific questions or concerns

MTD Presentation Album

The MTD Presentation Album (sometimes we call it the MTD "Photo Album") is the visual storytelling aid that is essential to sharing your story. This high-quality, photo book walks through the flow: the need, the answer to the need, and "I am Reliant; I can't do this alone."

Our 8.5" by 5.5" book is similar to photo books ordered from Shutterfly or other popular photo sites. Every page is custom designed by you (how to do it is below), and it easily lets you drop in digital photos of ministry, key facts to explain your mission field, and logos from your local church or network. Once created using google slides, you upload the PDF file to Chalk Line. 


Before uploading your MTD presentation album to Chalk Line, ensure you have followed the directions on creating your MTD Printed Presentation.

Please note: If you're using the green Fixed Term resident/intern/apprentice/fellow slide deck, it is not designed for printing but instead designed to be a digital presentation only.
