BluepointATM Proposal Cover Library
Overview
BluePoint ATM's sales team produces customized proposals for prospects across multiple industry segments. The existing workflow — editing cover photos directly inside Google Docs — proved cumbersome for designers and sales staff alike. The solution agreed upon in the [1] February 2026 marketing sync is a pre-designed cover library: one polished cover image per industry segment, stored in a shared folder, ready to drop into any proposal without further design work.
Problem
Swapping the cover photo on a Google Docs proposal requires repositioning images inside a format that is not design-friendly. When Mike Stebbins needed an airport-themed cover for a prospect proposal, the effort to replace the default image was enough friction to surface the issue in a client call:
"My biggest challenge is, with Google Docs, is changing that cover page… I want to put in that stock photo of a traveler carrying some luggage through an airport." — Mike Stebbins
Google Docs' limited layout controls mean even experienced users struggle to replace images cleanly, and Asymmetric's designers had encountered the same friction.
Solution
Create a library of segment-specific proposal covers — one pre-designed file per industry vertical — so the sales team only needs to select the right cover and adjust text fields (client name, date, rep name) rather than manipulate images.
Workflow
- Mike Stebbins sends Asymmetric a list of desired imagery for each industry segment cover.
- Asymmetric designers produce one cover per segment, branded in BluePoint blue.
- Covers are stored in a shared folder accessible to the BluePoint sales team.
- For each new proposal, Mike selects the matching cover, drops it in, and edits only the text boxes.
- New segments or one-off needs can be added to the library over time.
Segment Scope
Covers should map to the industry segments listed on the BluePoint ATM main website (post-redesign categories). The redesign renamed several segments — for example, "Tourist Attractions" became "Amusement Parks and Attractions" — so the cover library should use the updated category names to stay consistent with the site and state pages.
All covers confirmed in scope are for cashless ATM / reverse ATM proposals.
Design Decisions
| Element | Decision |
|---|---|
| Primary color | BluePoint blue (preferred over grayscale per Mike's feedback) |
| Grayscale variant | Available as an option; noted as visually appealing but less on-brand |
| Text legibility | Ensure sufficient contrast — light-on-light combinations flagged as hard to read |
| Editable fields | Client name, date, rep name remain as text boxes; only the cover image is fixed |
Action Items (as of 2026-02-25)
- [ ] Mike Stebbins — Email Karly a list of preferred images for each industry segment cover
- [ ] Karly Oykhman / Asymmetric design — Build one cover per segment once imagery list is received; store in shared folder
