Hi Juna! Your tutorial videos are excellent! It's so insightful to hear your thought process as you build a design. Best wishes!

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you so much!

[@bethlongstreet]

YES !! We just signed up last night and wow so much in there! We were on for hours downloading and getting some ideas

[@DetourShirts]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing... hope you are doing well

[@bethlongstreet]

@@DetourShirts well thanks to all of your videos we are hopefully on the right track

[@georgiachocolate32]

Hi, love your videos! Very informative and helpful. I would love to see you use Inkscape as an alternative editing tool for images.

[@DetourShirts]

That would be a fun challenge... thanks for the idea

[@dlf928]

Inkscape is great I want to learn more about it in the design aspect

[@aryanart8049]

We can use vectorize ai to convert png to vector format.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... you could.... good call

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... but it's not free anymore

Hi bro love ur content I'm new to Pod can I ask u some questions -Can u do a full tutorial from opening an Etsy shop to start selling? -Can u show me how to tier Up in Merch? -last questions should I invest my time in Redbubble? is it worth it ? or should I focus on Etsy and merch and KDP ? thx bro and sorry for all this questions and sorry for my bad English cuz my native language is french 😅 Thx bro I really enjoyed ur content ✨🔥

[@DetourShirts]

Great questions.... I can do those videos.... It really depends on the type of designs you have and your skillset.... each has their pros and cons... Etsy has traffic but it also costs more... Merch is great but it's hard to get in... KDP is free but how many buy books over t-shirts?... RedBubble is free but it's tough to figure out what sells there.

Do you have a video for canva using creative fabrica for POD?

[@DetourShirts]

No... but that's a great idea

[@sivakumars9696]

Hi. Could you show how to use creative fabrica with kittl and canva? I am new to this.

[@DetourShirts]

Great suggestion! Usually you don't but you can

[@bethlongstreet]

Is there a crop tool in Canva that I could use the same technique that you used

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... Canva does a crop tool

[@wealthandwisdom1]

yes love the video but do you know any other programs like affinity that are free and also how can you chg a png into a vector file ?

[@DetourShirts]

Inkscape should work

[@melansan1354]

Awesome tutorial. Can i make a mockup or use psd mockups in affinity designer?

[@DetourShirts]

Kind of... it will work like the PNGs you won't be able to change the colors.... If you want to use Photoshop files use Affinity Photo

[@virtualwhispers]

Hi, I'm looking for the website that shows all the sizes for the different platforms - Is it in one of your videos? I've watched too many to try and find it, lol

[@DetourShirts]

I don't.... the problem is that RedBubble and other POD shops have so many products with so many sizes it would have to be a multiple page document

[@virtualwhispers]

@@DetourShirts Thank you for getting back to me - I watched a video the other day, where one of the platforms had a section that showed all the sizes for the main products that people sell - IF .. I find it I will send you the link.

Yes... please do

Hi, can i still use the downloaded graphics and fonts after the end of the abo?

[@DetourShirts]

Sure but make your designs different... Follow the techniques. Change the words, graphics and other stuff to make it your own

[@groovebird812]

@@DetourShirts thank you very much. I got this info via the chat. Does it mean i can't use all the downloaded assets for NEW products after the subscription expires? Old products i can still sell but not create new designs? ---- After your All Access subscription expires, you can still use the photos you downloaded during your active subscription. Your license keys will remain on your downloads page forever, allowing you to prove that you have the right to continue selling products that you created before your subscription ended. Just remember, those license keys won't be valid for products created after your subscription ends.Does it mean i can't use all the downloaded assets after the subscription expires?

[@yaasararfath5815]

Can i use the downloaded Graphics to create new design after i cancelling my subscription

[@DetourShirts]

Great question.... I don't think it works that way.... I think you can only use them if you have a subscription

[@catherineleow3399]

Hi can we do this on Canva too?

[@DetourShirts]

You can do some things on Canva but not everything I did in the video.... but yes you could download fonts and graphics and use them in Canva if you want to.

[@nataliee8121]

Hi Juno, Most of the fonts on creative fabrica state commercial usage allowed, but they do not state full pod usage allowed- so are they still ok to use for pod? Thanks 😊

[@DetourShirts]

Commercial usage should cover it

[@nataliee8121]

Great, thank you 😊

[@jenniferwildman2083]

I was wondering the same thing

[@bethlongstreet]

Loving your videos thank you. Quick question my husband is wanting to get into POD with shirts/ hoodies but we are looking for a production company that sell tall shirts we can find companies that sell plus sizes like up to 5XL but we need length? Do you know of any? Thanksb

[@DetourShirts]

Sorry.... I mainly focus on POD companies where I don't need a separate production company...... I would check with T-Shirt Help Desk.... I bet Gary knows...www.youtube.com/@TshirtHelpDesk

[@analialecumberri3695]

Loved it! Is it okay to use the smiley face on a design?

[@DetourShirts]

Go ahead! The smiley face by itself may be a problem but when it's incorporate in a design like this it should be fine.

[@analialecumberri3695]

@@DetourShirts So, can I upload a design with the smiley face to Amazon without any problem?

Hi Juan! Thanks for sharing this. I really appreciate it. I downloaded some graphics from CF but when doing it for POD looks like it have a white background. How do I can remove that?

Thanks for sharing this. I have been using CF for awhile now and really enjoy all their products. Can you please do more videos like this, also ones where you can take a pre-made design from CF and change it into your own. My biggest challenge is figuring out how to structure text and design elements (usually longer slogans). Your videos help out a lot. Thanks

Sure thing! More Creative Fabrica tutorials coming

[@boujemaamouddaoui5096]

[@tba1879]

You should do a tutorial about completely free ways to make high-quality, high-resolution designs for those just starting out and don't want to shovel out tons of fees for a unproven product line. I know Kittl and Canva, etc. have free versions but they are in many respects limited. Also, how about a highly-detailed explanation of the licensing rules on such sites as Pixabay, Unsplash, etc. Pixabay's explanation of the rules are a bit bafflinf--examples might help.

[@DetourShirts]

That would be a good video... thanks for the tip

[@kristinaklein7358]

Great video , do you happen to know if I’m allowed to bring fabrica designs into kittl to work on or I have to do in my own photoshop ?

I'm no Kittl expert but in trying out the free version I have imported images worked on in Gimp as well as new fonts.@@kristinaklein7358

Just a quick comment: the phrase "Land of the free, because of the brave" is trademarked, in case anyone saw that graphic and decides to use it. Other than that, love all your Affinity vids as I too use Affinity and they are really helpful!

Good eye... thanks for the tip

That's why 99% of Content Creators in this space tell us to check before doing any design, not just copy them. I've watched his channel for awhile and he's said this multiple times. Nobody should ever just straight up create a design without the proper research into the design.

[@ryanherrity433]

Where did you see it was trademarked? I've done 3 separate searches using 3 different methods and none flagged that phrase/saying as trademarked.

How can I download the fonts and graphics from creative fabrica to canva? I have tried everything and it didn't work. I'm so angry. Most videos aren't very clear as crisp. People like you keep jumping between the times in video never telling how to do that exactly!!!!!!

Sorry this was for Affinity Designer but I could do a step by step for Canva video next time.

You have to have canva pro account. When you add font and go to your font selections drop down, there should be an option to upload font. Mine is at the bottom of the drop down menu
