- Fonts are an often overlooked part of the design process when using print on demand (Etsy, Redbubble, Teepublic, etc). Here are some tips for using fonts - placing, spacing and making it pop in the design. Increase your chances of selling on print on demand platforms by having eye-catching fonts. Also included: where to find free fonts that are available for commercial use.

Loving your videos on POD! Great advice that isn't found in a lot of other youtube channels. Keep em coming! 🙏👏
Great info , it definitely clears up some things I've been thinking about or see in other shirts in terms of mixing fonts and using betters etc.
I would love to see more of these shirt roasts just to learn more mistakes to avoid.
Thanks so much for all of your videos.. Always very informative and helpful… Cheers 😊
Great video! Super informative! I also like your personality/style more than many other tubers on this subject. One thing that could make it more useful would be to contain links to the websites in the description of the video. You could also have affiliate links there as well.
Great video as always
Thanks so much for this video with the valuable info!
Thanks for the video, really useful, as always!
Thank you for great content.
Always good advise
Thank you for all your information it really has help me become inspire and attempt to create some cool print on demand contact
Great video. Thamk you so much.
Thanks a lot! Particularly interesting for newbies :) How many fonts do you consider right for one design? how important is it to have lines aligned on both sides? There are good designs that are not necessarily aligned...
Very funny , made my day...
I’m pretty sure ‘I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here’ is a trademarked phrase- it’s a big tv programme in the U.K. where celebrities win stars.
Dropping knowledge! *small suggestion: record some room tone so the sound flow smoother when you do the cuts. Cheers
Thanks
Thank you, next video is for niche research pleaaase, thats my biggest challenge
Bit late to the comment party, but it has to said......You are a font of information🤣...Thanks
Thanks for this. I learned something new. By the way, how do you have that many fonts in your computer without crashing it? I had about 200+ in my laptop, and I had to get rid of some of them when my Photoshop won't open due to no memory.
A font ap
Very informative - may have missed it but didnt quite get the difference between PNG and JPEG other than it has a transparent background - i just use Canva Pro for that - was there another important reason ?? - cheers - you doing a great job
Yes you got it - PNG have the transparent whereas JPG is white. Absolutely, Canva Pro solves that.
When the yellow 'An Apple a day...' showed up I did instantly think why is it positioned so low down, what's all the empty space above it for!
The hand says STOP! Keep away! So makes sense.... but yes to many fonts and emphasised wrong!
i just wonder why people don't at least favorite my design. maybe because my design suck. here i'am learning to do best design that can sell
Thank you for this video! Does Redbubble have built-in software for you to design on the site the way that Zazzle does? My designs are only font.
That's a good question-Redbubble does not currently have a design tool. The only thing that sometimes is useful is the pattern feature (you can easily make whatever design repeat in an array).
@@zenwatercooler Oh hey thank you! I just want to put TEXT on a product and can't figure out a way to do that! I tried to upload it as a screenshot pic but it's not sizing large enough. Ugh. I contacted support today... I wish they at least had a simple option for text if that's all you want!
I am confused about teespring and now spring. I opened an account but can't upload
Keep getting red circle bottom right. I am learning. Is spring a good place still?
Do you know if there’s a way to deselect certain colors for t-shirts in Redbubble? And thanks for all your great video!
I'm not aware of any method to do that - I wouldn't worry too much about that to be honest. Just make sure that your default color is appropriate. (The customer won't accidentally buy a white shirt with white text... hopefully)
@@zenwatercooler I think I've got a solution for this problem: Always use black glow around white text and white glow around black text. I make the glow precise (in Photoshop) instead of soft so that it's really like an outline instead of a glow. I came up with this method to solve a different problem (for TeePublic). I used to upload two versions of each design - one with white text and one with black text, and choose the appropriate tee-shirt colors for each design depending on the color of the text. Now I just upload one version of each design and choose every tee-shirt color. With the outline, the text shows up great no matter what the tee-shirt color.
I'm having a hard time finding a cursive font, free for commercial use , that would work with Merry Christmas, for example.
I saw a video that said don't put the design in the middle, put it up further. Is that good advice? I believe the hand means stay away, like you would put your hand up in real-life which I think applies but I don't like the type of hand they have up there. I think it should be a regular hand, because that one looks like a skeleton hand or a hand where kids put their hands in paint and then on a piece of paper.I was using font space but when I made the fonts larger it looked terrible. Now I am using google fonts.Lots of this stuff I can not figure out the right way to do it,but I do it in a way that I can understand how to do it. I use a lot of screen prints.
Yes typically you would have the design on a t-shirt at about armpit level (and lower). I will window shop at the mall and look at shirts to see the designs and also the sizing/placement. Since listings are free on Redbubble, make a few variants and see if a lower-placed design sells!
@@zenwatercooler On the first t shirts you only have a certain space to put the design on. You cannot go past it. I have been starting my design on the top of it. And every t shirt you see is not put on the same place. Lately I have been concerned that my designs are too big, so I have been making them smaller. Its hard to see on redbubble which shirts are right and which ones are wrong on the big or small designs.
Really informative and awesome video as always.
I made a Teepublic account about 2 months ago. I uploaded about 50 designs over there, also added social media links, banner photo, etc. But I have noticed that none of my designs are searchable. I have emailed them several times but I always get automated messages. Sometimes they say that due to creative reasons I will have to promote my designs on social media and sometimes they say that their creative team likes to reserve the site for more original works as opposed to vector art. I don't understand as none of my designs violate any copyright rules. All of those designs have also been uploaded to Redbubble. Do you have any tips on what I can do to solve this issue as I really want to sell on Teepublic?
Thanks
How's the situation now?
@@rapidspeed3220 I was able to get it solved. Now I'm searchable on Teepublic.
@@c_fluff5475 I'm in the same situation as you were... how did you solve this issue?
@@russorox654 I emailed them several times in order to get it fixed. I kept on getting automated replies. Finally, I received an email where they informed me that I was searchable.
@@c_fluff5475 Ok I'll try your approach, thank you very much!
12:43 Would this shirt work if instead of the white box, you sorround each letter by a 5mm solid white border, kind of like a sticker?
Yes that COULD work - I have tried that (stroke) in Photoshop and it comes down to personal preference on if you like the sticker to be square, circular, or the same general shape as the design. (I like circular but that’s just me)
@@zenwatercooler Thank you. This is awesome advice you are giving us!
I think a few of the designs that aren’t placed right. It may be because the uploaded doesn’t realize they have to place the images on each item separately.
Thanks for the super useful info in your videos! Has anyone told you that you sound quite a bit like Robb Wells? (Ricky from Trailer Park Boys) I'm a massive fan, so that's in no way a dig.
I am starting to look like Randy during this pandemic in the winter! 🙀
@@zenwatercooler You and me both, brother! I broke my leg, had 2 ortho surgeries and spent months bedridden/wheelchair bound only to barely get walking again before covid hit and we went into quarantine. The ol’ cheeseburger locker is the biggest it’s been 🍔 🤣
@@jasonlives314 Hello Jason, during scrolling on the comments I saw yours. How are you doing right now?
I'm sure you get a bunch of requests but I'm just getting started and was wondering if you could check my designs on etsy and tell me if I'm on the right path.
Yes I have a bit of a backlog but would be happy to check it out - what is your store?
@@zenwatercooler awesome, thank you. The name is grassroots406. www.etsy.com/shop/Grassroots406
Hey the hand was the punchline in a way. It means, in the USA , Talk to the hand cause the ears ain't listening. Hand print as your palm
I'm the first one who make you like....
I'm a celebrity is actually a UK OZ show mega big
So you can't use a capital at the beginning of a sentence? Or one in the beginning of each word? Just all caps, or no caps? The hand makes sense because we put our hand in that position when we don't want someone to get close to us. It means stop.

your thoughts on Cafepress?
This was good, but really it is kinda rude to publicly criticize designs without permission. It's all well and good to say you're not trying to be mean, but these people didn't ask for your opinion. If there are people asking why their designs aren't selling, then they should be wiling to let you put their work in the hot seat.
“Most of the time when making POD shirts we’re not thinking about the font”
Oh hohhhhh I promise you I can overthink anything, especially fonts
that santa isn't black enough to be blackface but i wonder how many more people would think that
