Seriously new to this place, and wishing I had found it ages ago! Thanks to you all!

That aside, I am registered for the Ride to Conquer Cancer (http://www.conquercancer.ca/site/TR/Events/Toronto2008?px=1375739&pg=personal&fr_id=1201) (the link is to my personal blog on their site)

Our kits will include a jersey for Day One, but our company has chosen to design a jersey for Day Two.

And guess who gets to design it? *muah*

I'm not a designer, and I am not asking anyone to design this for me (I just finished reading a rant from a designer on here...yowza!) I would LOVE to know if there is an easier way to do this. I am familiar with all the Paint Shop (not Photo Shop) programs, and am currently running PSPPX2. I have done up a couple designs, but if there was an online interactive program or something, where I could just plug in the colours I want to use and where the logos would go...that would be prime fantasy time.

Some general information is...
We are going with the Raglan jersey from Louis Garneau (http://www.louisgarneau.com/catalogs/catalog_product.asp?catalogue=C81&section=CY&sub_section=002&style_no=8E20112&language=ENG&website=1) (am I allowed to post links? So sorry if not!!) and the templates are on my system now. I am currently designing it in layers, but am finding this super time consuming. There is an interactive designer on the Louis Garneau site, but it doesn't let me put in words, graphics or customize the back of the jersey.

Points of interest:
Colours will be navy blue, dark red and forest green.
Logo across chest
Bicycle graphic on pockets with words overlay reading "Riding to Conquer Cancer"
Maybe our website on the back...?
Probably a bike graphic on one or both sleeves.
"Synergy" printed on back of collar


Any and all help will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrea
