Items you can Order on Chalkline 

 

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.

Note

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


Profile Card

We don't all work with the same ministries, and we know that donors need to have your local ministry or church front and center. The Profile Card is a core MTD piece designed to leave at every MTD appointment. Part leaving piece + calling card + How to Give brochure, you upload your own photos to this item, and Chalkline will print it for you with professional quality. 

Most people in initial MTD order around 200.

Here are some quick notes for your Profile Card Design:

  • The description of your ministry can be the same description you used for your reliant.org/first.last site. If you are wondering what to write, try these three sentences
    • Sentence 1: "Jill is a worker in (location), serving at (name of church or ministry)."
    • Sentence 2: "Some of her favorite roles in ministry include (list roles)."
    • Sentence 3: "Jill is passionate about (Write about your passion for why you are doing ministry)."
  • Make sure that your location, ministry, and FD# look correct.
    • Note: one of the most common mistakes is that people will add in FD even though it's already in the template, so their cards will end up saying FDFD####, so make sure to check the preview before moving forward.
  • The circle watermark is there for combining this piece with the MTD leaving piece.
    • Once you put the MTD profile card inside, the circle photo is designed to show through the empty circle space in the MTD leaving piece. 
    • It is best to use a photo that is not too close up and has some empty (non-important) space on the left side of the picture since it will be cut off from the slant of the design.  
    • The placement of the photo is not centered, so ideally, you are looking for a photo (or cropping a photo) with the most important part to view in the middle right portion. 


Note

You must have high-quality photos.

titlePhoto 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

titleMac 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

  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.

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 Chalkline. 


Warning

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