Thank you, I am glad you found it informative. I am still fine tuning how much I put into one video. Did you get more out of the illustrator tutorial part or the Society6 uploading part? Thank you for watching 😁
Is there a reason that you select all of the possible products to sell? I would think that some of the products that don’t work well with this pattern like maybe the tank top (idk just an example) would only be cluttering up your page and would drown out some of the cooler products with this design like the curtains/wallpaper etc. Also curious how long it took to pick up traction on the site? Did you start getting orders right away or have to do some outside advertising?
I like to cast my net wide and pull it in when I know what I’m working with. I did a lot of advertising on social media and started getting sales very soon after :)
I don’t know off by heart sorry. I have had a baby so have had to back off all my design and videos for now. What settings specifically? I think I just open Jin default settings, the only thing I change is the size of the art board :)
Heya, that’s for if you want to add specific artwork for specific sized products. For example if you want the design to be different on the tee shirt compared to the mug etc. I hope this makes sense 🥰
Great video, but I try to upload the pattern designs and it takes ages. What size and dpi did you upload? I read you did 8500x8500 at 72dpi. Is that right? My patterns are vector, but is 72 dpi allowed in Society6 requirements? Thanks
Thank you 😊 I have never learned how to. I was never taught how to make patterns so this is the way I taught myself to do them. There are some big gaps in my software knowledge since my Uni training was so long ago and the course I did focused more on conceptual thinking rather than technical skill. I have been using skill share lately, now might be the time to learn 💕
@@zoesizemore Awesome, thank you for the tip. I recently learned to create custom brushes on Illustrator and I can't believe it has taken me this long to find how to do that. I guess the software is complex and there are so many ways to do so many different things, I have just slipped into doing things the way that is familiar and easy for me, but not the most time efficient :)
@@DesignbyCheyney it is a rabbit warren of things to learn definitely ! I learn something new every week! It's amazing. TH-cam videos are fantastic for learning - keep up the great work. Loved your Pinterest vid.
@@zoesizemore thank you so much for the feedback. And yes, always more to learn. Good for you learning one thing a week, that's epic 😊 (and inspiring). Thank you for watching, glad you lived the Pinterwst video. If there is anything particular you would like me to chat about, please let me know and if it is in my area, I will see what I can do 😊
It won’t show as seamless across all products, but you will notice on the wallpaper product it should repeat nicely? If you want it seamless on the other products you need to tile it in your design software and upload it to the scale you want it for the products. Hopefully that makes sense 😎
I joined society6 only yesterday. The two designs I uploaded doesn’t show seamless on wallpaper in preview mode. Do I need to resize it to 3600x3600 instead of keeping at 8100x8100
Hello Cheyney, while your video is very good, the issue I have with using a repeat pattern tile is that Society6 doesn't allow you to scale the design appropriately for each product. Your design in this video has many of the same elements within the pattern, and it does look great across most of the products. However, depending on ones own design, the patterns can look awful on some products as the design is meant to repeat, not just be used larger or smaller if you get my drift! I just wish Society6 had the same repeat upload capacity as say, Redbubble does. Just my thoughts on this.
Shraddha Patil are you exporting it at 72dpi, 150dpi or 300dpi? Try it at a lower dpi, it might be too big. My artboard is 8000 (ish)px and exported as a .Peng at 150dpi
Hi! I’m hoping you can help me. I am finding that the preview of my file on the Society6 website is looking a little blurry... have you ever had an issue with that? I know I uploaded the correct file size and ppi.. any ideas?
Hi Sami, thank you for reaching out. Hmmm, not that I have noticed. But it could just be the mockup. One way to test it would be to order a sticker or something low value to test the quality of the print (assuming it is blurry on all mockups/previews). If you uploaded a high resolution file, I wouldn't worry about it, it might just be a compression thing on their end.
Hi i uploaded a seamless pattern on society 6 6000x6000 px but its still not big enough for some items the system does not recogniz it as a seamless pattern what can I do?
6000x6000 is not large enough for many of the products on Society6. Unfortunately, I find their site lacking when it comes to the repeat pattern option. They simply don't have that facility as Redbubble does. To cover the larger products, your file will need to be made larger, but still keeping the same DPI. It's very frustrating I know. I always save at 300DPI, but again, your file will need to be large enough at that size to work with the specific product. For example, a table cloth file needs to be at least 15600px wide and 9000px tall, at 300DPI. I hope that helps, even though your query was 8 months ago!
I have been camping here waiting to hear the dimensions and sadly all your videos that I have watched you have not mentioned about it. Only been saying "way to big"

Can i upload my redbubble design in society 6?
Yes, you absolutely can, as long as it is your original artwork, Redbubble and Society6 allow you to retain ownership of your artwork 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing I've been really looking for this vid..
Thank you for the helpful tutorial Cheyney!
My pleasure 😇
very very helpful
Thank you for your feedback 🥰
This was super helpful, thank you!
You’re most welcome 🤗 Glad you found it useful 🥰
Hello there! What size and format of the image did you upload to the video? To match the size of all products. Thanks!
I usually make my artboards around 8500px x 8500px at 72ppi :) Hope this helps.
@@DesignbyCheyney Thanks!
Fantastic and informative video! Instant sub!
Thank you, I am glad you found it informative. I am still fine tuning how much I put into one video. Did you get more out of the illustrator tutorial part or the Society6 uploading part? Thank you for watching 😁
the way you describe, your smile and gesture is awesome, how you learned all this, I am your fan, great great great.
Thank you Naresh. Happy you enjoyed the video 😁 Thank you for watching 😁
After you make clipping mask, do you often crop it to reduce the size of the file or you just leave it uncrop? Thanks!
I leave it uncropped. I hope this helps :)
Great videos
Thank you so much 😁

Hi Cheyney, why does upload new Artwork have eight files? I only use one to upload new Art?
Heya, that’s for if you want to add specific artwork for specific sized products. For example if you want the design to be different on the tee shirt compared to the mug etc. I hope this makes sense 🥰
@@DesignbyCheyney Yes it helps, It looked to me at first that you had to upload all 8 different formats per file. Thank you!
Does S6 provide us the final product photos for us to download for promotion use as Redbubble?
No, I don’t think so
Is there Adobe draw for iPad app? Can’t find it.
There used to be but now it’s been morphed into a more powerful version of Fresco. I now use vectorQ for vector drawing on my iPad

I hear what you’re saying. That is an annoying feature and Redbubble has nailed that!
@@DesignbyCheyney Yes, it sure has.
There is also society 6 germany do I have to upload 2 times the same work?
Heya, I’m not sure about this unfortunately. I wouldn’t think so? Please let me know if you find out, I’m interested to hear 💕
I am getting an error after I export the art to png. Is it because I selected 16000X16000 px at the beginning?
Shraddha Patil are you exporting it at 72dpi, 150dpi or 300dpi? Try it at a lower dpi, it might be too big. My artboard is 8000 (ish)px and exported as a .Peng at 150dpi
16000x16000px is way too huge, definitely need to reduce your size.
Thank you for your help here :)
Which image resizer software do you use? Cheers
@@DeniseMorganArt I use Photoshop 🥰
