Understand Your Design
Ornament Design Proofs
During the design process with Kitty, you will see a design sheet with a lot of information. Below is a breakdown of each section. As always feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
Product Numbers & Logo
Product Number
How Kitty Keller Designs references all designs. Each design has a unique product number. It can also be referred to as a SKU or item number.
Extension on number #####-O - the O indicates a CLOISONNE ORNAMENT
Kitty Keller Logo
Shows the brand who created the design. Ornament type is also listed UNDER the KKD logo
PMS Colors
Colors included on the design. We use PMS coated color chart to reference the colors used on the design. Our suppliers use these PMS colors to create the paint colors used in the final product.
The colors are individually mixed each time the ornament is created.
Gold Lettering
Letters or objects that have metallic gold inside the “cloison” will be gold plated directly on the copper shape.
Colored Lines
We sometimes include a line sketch under the colored in portion of the design to show our supplier important logos or words. The words are highlighted to show our supplier a complete word so that there are not incorrect spaces between letters.
Bottom of Ornament
Located in the top left corner of the design page is the BOTTOM of the ornament design. Some customers often put a short word or the year. Our KK logo is also included in gold-plated wiring
Black Lines
All black lines shown in the mockup, including the black swirls, will be gold-plated wiring in the final product. In the cloisonne process, the metal wiring creates ‘cloisons’ that are then filled with the enamel powder paint. A thicker black line indicates an area of the design that will have black paint outlined with gold-plated wiring.
Copyright
This is the copyright statement on each design, stating that the original mockup created is the intellectual property of Kitty Keller Designs. It does not indicate that we own the rights to any officially licensed or trademarked logo, but that we own the rights to the elements of the design.
