I'm using Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Illustrator, Leonardo ai and Adobe Photoshop to experiment with, get ideas and potentially produce artwork for print on demand, although not actually produced my first t-shirt as yet I find your video's of great inspiration and it won't be long before I get my range of artworks uploaded. Many thanks for all your helpful informative and advice, it is truly indispensable and greatfully received. 😊
Juna, I really wat to thank you - I have learned so much from your videos - I am a self-taught designer, have been working with Affinity since 2017. My first designs were awful and I am still learning. Thank you for showing these techniques. You are the only one who does. Sending much love your way.
I had been putting off purchasing AD because I was scared to tackle it. I had also been putting off uploading my first design to merch. This video walked me through a t-shirt design that I felt proud of and it is now uploaded as my very fist submission to amazon. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this very creative works of art. Great design that I've seen often but seemed very complicated to execute. But here you made this design easy.peasy. WOW!!! Great Job!! I just started using Affinity Design and I absolutely love it. Before Affinity, I also use Gimp for years. Thanks again!!!!
Once again, a perfect tutorial......thank you so much Juna 💜 I'd like to learn how to do gradient rectangles, shape and letters etc. I'm just starting this journey so I'm learning the Affinity program that you use. I see a lot of people talking about Canva and I might look at that down the road. But I loved this tutorial, the perfect pace to understand the steps too.....yours are the only videos that I can follow and totally understand the first time.....you're a gift to us all, blessings to you always. 💜🙏
As always a perfect tutorial! Thanks! I use Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (it depends on what I am trying to create). But, to design an image I use Procreate. I love your tutorials!
Hey Juna, thx for your awesome videos. I'm a long time viewer and first time commenter here ;) I would love if you continue with your affinity designer tutorials. They are helping me out a lot. As for your question, I am using Affinity Designer as my program of choice when it comes to print on demand. For graphics I can highly recommend Creative Fabrica. Low cost subscription and tons of graphics to choose from for POD businesses.
Juna provides great inspiration 👏 👍 watching your video and just heard the prettymerch "Cha-Ching" sound....sold a shirt!!! Great way to start the weekend. Still no profit yet, tier 10, 4th sale ever. Juna, when do you think they'll do tier ups next? Have a great weekend, Let's Go 👊
Hey Juna great video, I am using Affinity Designer and I am a newbie in graphic design and it is really nice to see more people using the Affinity Suite instead of Photoshop all the time. GO AFFINITY!
I love your videos! I have had Affinity Designer for a while and never really used it. Thanks for opening up a whole new world for me. Great design how-to's! Subbed for sure!
i saw this style in my sons tshirt...so i decided to make it....i made one on monday for camping, am gonna correct some mistakes i made after hearing ur tips .....thanks
Awesome, love your tutorials, it's a great help, I would like mire of these please, I am using Canva for now,would like to use different platforms when money comes in.Thanks a lot
Sorry.... I haven't used Adobe for a few years now... I'm sure there are other channels with Adobe tutorials.... If I ever get Adobe back on my computer I will make videos for it
Another Affinity Designer question: where do you find overlay textures, like ones that make designs look aged? Another thing I've wanted many times is the ability to add "lift" that is bigger than the way it comes in Canva. I see it like a "cloud" around the design or letters. I have needed this when I want to make words stand out when they have an image behind them.
Following the instruction on this video, I went to vintage summer colors on Google search, but I wasn't able to put the palette on Affinity Designer. I have Windows 10. Please tell me how to do that. Thanks,
You should be able to drag the image from the internet to your artboard... or you could copy the image to your desktop then drag it from your desktop to artboard... or you could import onto your artboard
Hey, Juna. Got my first t-shirt sale on TeePublic last Saturday! I use a combination of Canva, AD, and PlaceIt. Love the Trend Credit; I will have to create something for it. So, how did you make the palm tree black? Also, It took me a couple of seconds to figure out that the layers go "back to front" on the artboard which translates as "bottom to top" in the layers panel. When I clicked on "erase", everything disappeared. I guess I was also suppose to click on the bottom black layer. Anyway, I got rid of the black bottom layer then my silhouette showed the transparent checkerboard design, which I am guessing is what it's suppose to look like if there is no black background (like you created). I am going to have to go back and look at your tutorials where you show how to "knock out" areas. Take care.
You make the palm tree black by coloring everything black... select all and make it black. For the erase part, I'm guessing you forgot to group the hello part and the silhouette part... only those 2 things are in a group.Then if you erase the silhouette from the hello it will only affect the hello part not the whole thing.
This is really very interesting. I have a question, If I use this Nexa Rust Sans or any font which I can download for free and use on my t-shirt design, can I upload it to any POD sites??
Well, I feel silly. I've been making an ellipse the same size as the hole in the "O." Then cutting the ellipse from the rectangle. Apparently, I like extra steps. I'll be doing your way from now on. I feel silly because I should have thought of that :) I use Affinity Designer and sometimes Affinity Photo. I like the erase too in Photo better. So I'll do a little "Edit in Photo" for that. I prefer removing backgrounds in Photo too.
I have an Affinity Designer question. I've been using Canva, and I see some things that are better about Affinity, but I miss all the clipart, backgrounds, photos and textures that are available immediately. Does Affinity Designer have anything comparable?
Good question! No it doesn't you will have to import those things in.... but it also doesn't have a subscription fee so you can save that subscription fee up and buy some clipart
@@DetourShirts Then I have to import separately each piece of clipart I buy? AD has some stock with Upsmash. Can any other sites be linked the same way? Also, I signed up for vexels, and everything I've searched so far has not had a single clip that I like. Some searches had no results at all. Sigh. Yes, I know you can request one design per month, but that's only one...
Great job as always! What are the requirements for good print on T-shirt RGB or CMYK ? May be if you have time, you can show us the best way! Thank you for sharing your awesome work bro!
I always design in CMYK but I save it as a PNG file which is RGB.... I do that because it will eventually print and be converted back to a CMYK format.
@@DetourShirts i have a large vector file (9.32Mb) when i open it in cricut it keep loading but never open. how can compress the file without losing the quality.
@@DetourShirts honestly I am very new to gimp and it is pretty complicated for me because I am not a designer so I am only using it to rescale designs before posting them on Merch by amazon I figure I have to learn if I want to make better design canva is so limited
I use both Photoshop Elements and Affinity. Trying to learn affinity but when I get stuck on a project in Affinity designer I take it over to Photoshop and finish it there.
I want you to advise me, is it possible to design by phone? Because I do not have a computer... and I have great hope to work in this field. I searched a lot and did not find any benefit. I wished to help me or make a video about it, and thank you...😍😍
I used to enjoy your channel until I visited your redbubble shop and saw you had made a 'Black dogs matter' shirt. I find this incredibly insensitive and distasteful. I am unsubscribing for that reason.
