I'm guess you are talking about BSR... BSR is the Best Seller Rank... that's a number all Amazon products that have sold have... the lower the number the better it is selling
Hello, Dutor Shirt, thank you for the video. It's awesome as always😚😚😚. I'd like to ask you do the collections help with sales or does it make a difference??🤔🤔
Thank you so much, it was very helpful! Can you please recommend websites to use for uploading different designs on the front and on the back of the shirt at the same time?
I'm sure there are some out there... Merch by Amazon only allows front or back, RedBubble is the same way... I believe if you go through Printful you can do front & back.... I haven't been on Spreadshirt for a while now but I think they do it too.... There are probably others but those are the ones that come to mind... great question
Thank you for these videos. Since there is no vector eraser tool, how do you erase mistakes on designs? Have you made a video explaining how to do it? Thank you Luna.
You can click on it and delete it... but I'm guessing you might be talking about something else... do you have a vector in mind when you are asking about erasing mistakes?
@@DetourShirts No, you're right. I bought this app a month ago. I am just beginning to use it now. I would like to learn to draw as you do. I was making a bird. I made a mistake and I looked for the eraser tool, lol. So, do I just click on the bird and delete it? People say this is better than photoshop. I hope they're right. I have another question. I am facing problems opening the app. I click on it and nothing happens. Affinity support is not as efficient as Photoshop. I waited days until finally got a response. He said to hold CTRL key and click. I did and it worked. I logged out of it this morning. This afternoon I wanted to try again and guess what? It won't work. I don't know what to do. I send them a message, but they won't respond until sometime next week.
I know sometimes it takes a while to open for me. It's different from Photoshop though... It's more like Illustrator....If you want something more like Photoshop I would get Affinity Photo... but I like Affinity Designer because it's vector based and better for the art I do.
In essence, adjust the size and placement of text to fit within their respective regions within the divided rectangle, as opposed to filling the entire shape. Then fill in the empty space.
Glad it was helpful! So for merch by amazon the max size is 4500x5400 but I usually come in a bit I don't want to go all the way to the edge... There is no real "size" I follow.. I just kind of eyeball it...For other POD sites you can adjust the size after uploading, so I kind of eyeball it then for those sites
This is not about paper sizes... it's about sizes for print on demand... look at your POD site for the sizes.. Merch by Amazon for example is 4500px x 5400px.
Love the info, but I'm a little confused between this and the whole trend of using sunset graphics. Because of the sunset stuff, I've been focusing on round designs. Is that wrong?
Here's the thing... there are many ways to design a t shirt... this is just one way... a super easy way.... the sunset stuff is another way to design t shirts... the beauty of design and art in general is that there is not just one way to design things...this grid method is a super simple way (like level) 1 for tshirt design.
There is no "wrong" in design/art. A sunset type shirt that says"Busy Teacher and Dog mom" would be kinda weird. Ya know? Or maybe it would be cool. But I can't imagine that text in a round sunset type graphic. But you do what you feel inspired to do.
Hi Juna, this was great. I have a few niches and original ideas, I am SO excited, because I was having trouble thinking of an idea. However, I am having trouble figuring out how I should set up the CMYK...do you have a video or could you tell me how to set up the CMYK? I watched your video talking about why you use CMYK, but I wasn't sure how I should set it up. I know where to find CMYK, but I wasn't sure what numbers I should use, for the CMYK and RGB. I have tried searching for videos to explain it, but I can't find any...I am probably searching the wrong thing. 🤦 Anyway, great video. I appreciate all of your help.
Yeah... basically look for the color palette in your design app... most will have them... if you are using Canva there is no setting for it... just be careful with super bright blues, greens and reds
Sooo cool Juna! Thanks for sharing, Ill bookmark it and I believe I'll be coming back to this video again and again. Now that I started learning graphic design I find two contradictory ideas in design as some designers advise against filling out the space and promote leaving as much negative space as possible (for the design to "breathe") while others on contrary suggest filling out the entire space. I wonder which side is right now.. Maybe it is just a case of difference between a poster/logo design and a tshirt design..
I think both could work... It's the overall composition that counts in the end... there is more than one way to design a shirt... there are no hard and fast rules
Thank you so much! I've never thought of that way to design tshirts. Although we can see this grid method applied to a lot of tshirts, It has never passed from my mind this layout. Thank you very much for letting us know of this method. By the way what's that " Traitor joe's" means? Can you tell me very briefly? Is it about politicians in America?
Hey brother I want to work on POD sites but for that I have to create PayPal business account And I am confuse to choose between two options 1st via selling goods or services 2nd via email or invoice link Which one should I choose for the redbubble
I designed a T-shirt I used affinity designer. I have some text and some circles. I ordered the T-shirt. But the circles were filled in with a light gray-blue color . I downloaded everything png. The lettering was fine though. What could’ve happened to make the circles fill in with color?
I would check your colors... sometime it may look white but the CMYK has a little cyan or black in it...or if you designed it in RGB you might have used a color that CMYK can print correctly
Great tutorial as always. Did you figure out why Redbubble closed accounts coz I didn't upload any design for while I'm afraid if I submitted something my account will suspended
@@DetourShirts do you think I should upload or I had to wait. Someone said he was just updating old designs his account got suspended it's a mysterious thing as long as rd didn't give a specific reason.
I uploaded 45 designs using automation today and they are all mostly scaled designs. No sign of suspension. But I never do keyword stuffing (this is one of the reasons why I have very few sales in redbubble haha). So maybe its the repeated keywords or a copyright thats triggering those suspensions.
@@MariaBure it's not scaling designs definitely. But we don't know the reason yet. I didn't submit anything for almost a week a have a lot of designs to upload but I'm afraid. I heard some people saying that their accounts got suspended without reason so I tried to open a new account using my mom's details, the account got deleted after a few hours I didn't upload anything just trying so I will not upload something to RD in these days
@@DetourShirts or...what the heck Kawaii is. LOL I think I *sort of* have an idea, but it all looks like it's just a super simple version of anime. And I think that's probably not right or it would be called anime.
Great video Juna, thanks. BTW, I wouldn't take the chance with the design in the trend credit. Trader Joe's is a popular national chain of grocery stores and "Traitor Joe's" sounds too similar to risk it IMO. Especially using a design that says "est. 2021," implying a business establishment. I think lot's of people will automatically associate the design to the grocery chain. Even if it's obvious that it is a joke, that company may not like it. Just my opinion. Walmart is currently trying to stop Kanye West from using a logo that is not a copy of Walmart's logo but they say it is similar enough that it will confuse people into thinking Walmart and Kanye have an association that does not exist. Kanye may have the money to fight something like that against Walmart, but us little guys don't!
Good point... I think it might be okay as a funny pun but you are right it can be risky.. stay away from making it like trader joe's in the design for sure.... no grocery store graphics or anything.
Thanks for closing down my shop Juna. You presumed way too much and I bought your design off of someone from Etsy. It sent you all the details, but you failed to ready my 3 replies to your false accusations against me. Next time have the decency to have a conversation before you call someone guilty of "stealing" your designs. I legitimately bought the design from someone else and obviously did not know it was your design to begin with. Next time have a conversation with someone instead of presuming they stole something from you intentionally. Learn the facts first before you shut someone's store down. You of all people know how hard it is to get a shop running with over 350 designs. How about you do the right thing at this point and help me restore my shop.
I am so sorry that happened to and I am sorry that your store was closed. RedBubble closed it not me. I reported a design that is mine that was being sold by someone else...Here is were I am coming from Ted.... Your shop is the 12th shop that I reported on RedBubble within the last 2 weeks with my designs. Each one I had to take 10 minutes or more to report. You have NO idea how many times I have to report shops like yours selling my designs within the last year...I have messaged every shop that had my design... none of them wrote back. I messaged you on Friday. I didn't check my messages because 1) nobody has ever answered them before and 2) and more importantly, it is Mother's Day weekend and I am busy. You want me to be checking my messages every time in case someone like you might answer? You want me to give everyone with my stolen design the benefit of the doubt and wait 3 days to hear back? You are blasting me on my TH-cam channel for everyone to read, telling people how bad I am and you want me to help you? You said I should "Learn the facts"? Listen, the facts are these... You need to check what you are buying is stolen or not... You need to do the research before buying not complain about being caught and shut down after the fact. If you are buying a pack of t shirt designs for under $5 on Etsy with 30 ready made designs, you should think about why it's so cheap before putting them for sale on your shop. You obviously didn't know it was my design but you had to have known it wasn't right. What about all those other guys? Were you only going to remove my design because I reported you? I know you put a lot of hard work into what you do....so do I, so do all the thousands of people who spent hours creating their own designs and then have their designs, like mine, sold for pennies so that people can easily upload them resell them and make a profit. The one you should be angry with besides yourself are the people that sold you my design not me....You have some nerve, attacking me on my channel where I am trying to help people design their own stuff, when you are taking the easy way out and then complaining you getting caught... Do you see how crazy that is? Who is the real victim here? This is a hard lesson to learn and I am sorry this happened to you. I do hope you can continue with Print on Demand if that is what you want to do. There is a right way to do things. I believe I did do the right thing. I even made a video on my channel warning other about this very thing weeks ago. Etsy Copycats... look it up...Now, HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE RIGHT THING and help me take down these Etsy shops who are selling these stolen designs so this doesn't happen to someone else.
@@DetourShirts thanks Juna, I appreciate your reply. Being new to this business is not easy and difficult to research everything with 100% certainty its not someone else's design. I cannot know all your designs and had no intention of stealing anything from you. Sorry to blast you as I did, please accept my apology. Wishing you success and if I see any of your designs on other pages I will be sure to let you know.
Juna I went to design school years ago...to all watching ..... JUNAis a super duper teacher. He really knows design!.. thank u so much

@@DetourShirts ooh. Ok. I thought it had something to do with vector graphics. I was googling it and it didn't make sense. Thanks
Great stuff! What a helpful new way to view our designs.
Thanks.... so glad it was helpful
I use this. Learned this from one of your previous videos. Its quite helpful. Pls share more design techniques for non designers.
Thanks, will do!
I needed inspiration, thanks for the video.
You are so welcome!
Juna, I wonder if the word “youtuber” is copyrighted or we can use the word on our designs without getting in trouble. Thank you.
Ohhhh... I would stay away to be safe... I never really checked though
@@DetourShirts thank you for your fast response! I agree with you... I better use the word “vlogger”
Thank you great video
Glad it was helpful!
P.S. loving the new backdrop
Thank you
Very useful thanks
I wanted to ask about canva free account i use it to design t shirt is all elements and photos commercially use??

Hello, Dutor Shirt, thank you for the video. It's awesome as always😚😚😚. I'd like to ask you do the collections help with sales or does it make a difference??🤔🤔
What collections? Do you mean trends?
collections of redbubble store
They definitely help with organization.... so if someone comes to your site looking for something they can easily find it.
Awesome practical video Juna! Keep showing us non-designers to improve our designs! Thanks!

Yes.... that's basically the Grid method and it's not the only way to design shirts but it is very useful and easy to do
This was EXTREMELY helpful -- especially for a newbie like me :). One question. What size should the grid be (for t-shirt designs)?
Glad it was helpful! So for merch by amazon the max size is 4500x5400 but I usually come in a bit I don't want to go all the way to the edge... There is no real "size" I follow..

No problem!
Thank you.

Is there one on a3 size? I can only do a4
This is not about paper sizes... it's about sizes for print on demand... look at your POD site for the sizes.. Merch by Amazon for example is 4500px x 5400px.
Which designing tool was that?
Affinity Designer
Waw!! the new setup.. Pretty nice 🤩🤩
