A Look All Yours

One of our graphic designers will work with your image to create the best possible presentation.  For best results, keep the following tips in mind:

Easily Identifiable – Pick an image of something that parishioners will easily recognize.  It can be your church building, or the altar, an icon, a monstrance, anything as long as it does NOT contain text.  Also, the image will be blurred, so do not select images with the intent of the user identifying details.

Vertical Orientation – Since smart phones and the app itself are designed to be taller than wide, starting with a tall portrait-shaped image works best.  Horizontal images must have a strong focal point.

Upload your own image and modify it to suit your parish’s preferences, then approve and submit it for integration in to your app.

Step 3) Approve Image

Once you are satisfied with your image as seen below for use as your app background, please approve and submit. Your app will be created within 3-5 days and you will be notified when it is ready to view. (NOTE: Your App Launch Kit will also contain a banner and graphics incorporating your app background image.)

If the image you have uploaded, as shown below, is the one you want our designers to modify for use as your parish’s app background, then please approve and submit below with the required info. (NOTE: Prior to submission of your image, please be sure to review the background image guidelines provided under Step 1, in order to minimize the turnaround time of creating your app.)

I approve this image for use as the app background image for our parish.
