I work at Nike, great how you mentioned being creative with the clients request. No is never an answer.
Creativity is 🥶
one of the top 5 staches i've ever seen
Good tips man, I liked how you showed us your presets for your image tracing that’s super useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. This is brushing me up on illustrator and I’m getting an idea of how to work with procreate 🙏🏼
this guy is awesome!!! can you do a part 2? can always use some tips on preparing artwork inside Adobe Illustrator
Thanks! That’s a good idea!
We love you Cory!
thx for the tipps :) they are helping alot
Happy to help!
Helpful🙌
Great video 👍
Thanks!!
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
75% of our clients bring 72dpi images . And argue when we charge them for creating the artwork because they already brought it …
Yep! We know how that goes!!
@@GoldenPressStudio Luckily we can almost always do an image search and find a decent size version of the same artwork, sometimes even vectorized or png. Internet is a wonderful thing
being a screen printer for quite a few years already and having an associates degree in graphic design I already knew a lot about these but its always nice to remind yourself what to avoid and maybe learn a new solution that I haven't tried before.
For sure! Always good to brush up on things and see the way others are doing something.
Great advice! I am a self taught graphic designer all within the last year and have taken on a part time job at a screen printing shop doing their artwork. Would love to see more videos on just preparing stuff for printing! How to properly set it up on templates and what resolution it should be when printing it. We use Exile Rip and have a Spyder Machine for burning our screens. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Within a year you’re not going to be a designer. Still an amateur.
I'm a big fan of using Vectorstyler over Illustrator
did you guys already make a video explaining how to turn only certain elements of the design to half tones?
no we haven't gotten to that yet.
Thanx for advice! But I don't think expanding the text is always the right choice. In the case of logos or large texts there are no problems, in the case of body text or small texts, some features that the fonts have natively to be more readable in small dimensions (hinting) would be lost.
Killer! haha... great video!
Thanks Matt!!
Also is there a way to do regular/ halftone image inside letter.
Good Call on the Clipping Mask! That's why I like Opacity masks; when you go to print, you can choose if you want an overprint or not. And than you for the last tip, people do it ALL THE TIME with PDFs
That’s a cool emoji. how’d you do that?

@@TheLastDropSobrietyPodcast thank you
If I want to print with size 80cm x 105cm, how many pixels should I use? Is 3000 x 4000 enough?
In one of your videos you done a t-shirt design using procreate which does not export using vector. How would you suggest you get artwork converted from pixel to vector in this instance?
You can always import the image into illustrator as a tiff or PNG then image trace or you can import it then recreate it with the pen tool and shape builder tool.
I’m totally new to this sort of thing.
I use procreate though to design things, is there a way to download it from procreate and turn it into a vector in a different software or do I always need to do that tracing method you showed?
not sure. Procreate is a raster program and doesn't work in vector. The way that I show it is the only way that I know how to get in converted to a vectored image.
Another way would've been to use 'image trace > make and expand' on the leaf
yeah but in really pixilated art you can lose detail with that method. but it is a method I use often.
So I have a detailed image that a friend sent me but its a jpeg and im unsure how to get it to a vector. Its way too much to draw over or use a pen tool and when I use image trace , it loses detail. Please help!
Say you want a red circle with a anchor in the middle, but using the shirt color and the anchor color how do you cut anchor into the shirt
I would just take the anchor element and a solid circle, put them overtop of each other and use minus front from the pathfinder options.
Hey! Is the design being created from iPad Procreate okay if you don’t have adobe illustrator?
Yea we have lots of videos on designing in Procreate!
@@GoldenPressStudio ahhh great! Thank you so much for your swift reply too. 😃
- What is the best one to start off with
Leys turn over a "new leaf" haha
Please make a video for offset printing how to prepare artwork for offset printing I am searching many times but there is no proper and complete video of offset printing i want to learn A to Z of screen printing please make it I am your big fan. Love from Pakistan
when you say offset printing are you talking about making metal plates and then transferring the image that way. If that's the case we do not do that. Thanks for watching!!
@@GoldenPressStudio thanks but at least you make a video of artwork preparation for offset printing
It's Mario!
