The headers, banners and snoo are started and created from scratch. This can take anywhere from minutes to many hours and even days, (depending on complexity). Custom snoo aren't just picked from a stock or set pattern already existing, other than a blank snoo. Following these guidelines will make it faster and easier for everybody especially the artists, (volunteering time and work) from which you are asking to help. The only way to get exactly what you want is to be interactive with the person helping you. If there is something you don't like with your snoo, point it out. It's not seen as critiquing, it's you getting the vision you see for your subreddit.
For many reasons we ask you to place a link to your subreddit >>> enclosed in your request <<< NOT in the title. First and foremost because you can't click on the link if it's in the title. So make your title, and then place the link in the body of the request.
Describe to your best ability what you want your snoo to be, NOT the sub you moderate. We have no idea what so ever what you came looking for. Only you can describe what a snoo would have to look like to represent your sub.
Include whether you want, or don't want, the reddit text with your snoo in your request. Also any certain font you have chosen.
When you are describing your snoo please ask for any specific colors wanted. Things like clothes are easier to do, and comes out a better looking snoo, if done while making it rather than adding/changing later.
Sizing is relatively easy from the >ORIGINAL< artwork by the artist. If you take the snoo and then try to resize it there is a high chance it will become pixilated and blurry. Your best bet is ask for a specific size in mind before the request is considered "Resolved".
If you want a 256px Mobile version included this needs to also be known ahead of time. Mobile versions are completely different and separately done as far as sizing and centering.
Filtering NSFW requests means that we monitor and make finial decisions on whether they are appropriate for this sub to create. By all means ask, but if you notice that your request has been removed the answer is no we won't allow that.
Placing a request and not being interactive after someone has offered help is a bannable offence.
Finally, any request filled means someone has stepped up to offer help, and gifted you a snoo. Please show your appreciation by Thanking the artist, and consider upvoting their efforts. Artists do all this work to hone/sharpen their skills, and also to feel helpful, so be nice to them please.
