Thank you Juna, for a really thorough video! I'm always learning more about Affinity Designer, and I no longer have to stop your videos and re-play frame-by-frame. I'm definitely getting more comfortable with Affinity Designer, from watching your videos and playing around on my own. Also can feel my designs improving, too!

[@DetourShirts]

Hi Juna! I've watched this video again after a year, and it's still helpful. Regarding your Question of the Day, lately I've been getting design inspiration from Pinterest. Thanks again for this great design tutorial! (And BTW, I miss the "fist bump" at the beginning of the videos! 😂)

Thanks Juna, great video. I get a lot of inspiration from conversations, reading books and generally things I like to do. Sometimes colour themes too, a picture or pattern will pop into my head. Pinterest can help a lot with reference. Oh and I watch your videos for technique, layout and font ideas. You also should have a lot more subscribers

Hello Juna, how a beginner can check design isn't looking like copy of others. (To avoid copyright issue just live words trademark or copyright)

[@DetourShirts]

Take a look at the competition

[@charles6133]

awesome video man. Question, should beginners start with a single store and create trending t shirt designs or should we have a niche store then sells only t-shirts of that particular niche?

[@DetourShirts]

There are pros and cons to both... I believe it's easier to figure out what works for you if you do a single store with multiple niches and styles so that you can figure out what works for you faster.

[@baslielalene4702]

From pictures.

[@DetourShirts]

[@alkhars84]

i find the layout idea in your video and graphic and vectors from vexels

[@tiffanyw3794]

can you do a design with glitter letters in affinity

[@DetourShirts]

Glitter letters... ohhhh... I'll have to check on that... sounds amazing... one thing to note though Amazon does not like you to use glitter, gold, silver, shiny or anything similar because their printers can not reproduce that kind of effect

[@tamaragraham3475]

Hi Juna, When uploading designs to different sites, how do I make sure the design will be sized to fit the tshirt space like I want it? For instance, sometimes I have designs not created using the POD measurements, but it's an SVG, which should stretch to fit. Do I need to make sure the size is exact when I upload it? Thanks for the great videos!

[@DetourShirts]

Most POD sites let you adjust the size of your design after uploading and before publishing

[@musicislove90]

I really like canva, but even with the pro account, there are things that I still find a little frustrating. The biggest issue I've come across is that there's no way to make the graphic not transparent. Like if I have a graphic of a rose and I want to layer it on top of another graphic, I can still see part of the graphic underneath. I wish I could at least edit the graphic by erasing parts of it as needed, but I haven't seen a way to do that. I'm assuming that's at least part of the reason you use a different editor once you've found the graphics that you like. I might end up looking into that myself.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... the only way to remove part of a graphic is the crop tool and sometimes that isn't enough

[@jonathanrui6031]

Hello brother, you said something in the video abour being able to use free icons in canva. Theres no copyright issue there? Im currently starting out and this would help me out. Thanks for your time and keep these videos coming 😆

[@DetourShirts]

You can use them in your design but it can't be the only thing in your design.... add text or more graphics to make the design complete.

[@jonathanrui6031]

@@DetourShirts gotcha thanks for the info brother

[@jillwirsing7544]

Are you allowed to use fonts / fonts with fills from Canva and put them in Affinity Designer to modify or use with graphics?

[@DetourShirts]

Are you talking about graphic fonts? Yes, you can.... If you just try to use regular fonts you won't be able to pull them into Affinity Designer and just use them.... Affinity Designer will try to see if you already have the font and if you don't it will ask you what font you want to use instead.

[@nasimakhanliza1561]

I am usually searching on google for design ideas. Which platform is best for searching ideas for trending topics? Advance Thank you for your kind cooperation.

[@DetourShirts]

Depends on the platform you are selling... each POD site has a slightly different audience so I would check for what is selling best on the POD site you are on.

[@fabiGBOtown]

How do you knock out the background in affinity designer?

[@DetourShirts]

Make sure your artboard has no fill and when you export as a PNG select selection only.

[@fabiGBOtown]

@@DetourShirts hi Juna, I meant from when you exported it from Canva, it came with a background right? How did you remove that? Also, the white fist, how do I just color each finger separately? I've always wanted to learn how

[@DetourShirts]

@@fabiGBOtown Sorry... I removed the background with the Preview app on my Mac... I think I showed how to do it in one of my first Canva videos.... I don't know how to color each finger yet but I'll see what I learn in the future.

[@SurajGupta-wm1hz]

how did you remove the background?....can you just show us step by step.

[@DetourShirts]

So for the Canva art I just saved them as PDFs and opened them in Affinity Designer... When you bring them in you just select the background in the layers panel and delete the background. When exporting an Affinity file (at the end) make sure to just delete the black background on the layers panel as well. Export with the selection only and you should be good.
