Creating Earth Day T-Shirt Designs with PlaceIt | Step by Step Tutorial for Print on Demand

[@Melissa-YupMelissa]

I used Place-It back in 2020 when I first started out and had no design skills. For me it wasn't just the T-shirt designer that helped. As a newbie in the whole art thing, I learned a lot about overall design theories and concepts simply by studying their catalog of designs. I also learned a lot by studying the elements that they had available for me to swap out in any particular design--what all they had that had the general vibe of the default. I don't use Place-It now because I can do it all on my own in Affinity, but Place-It was a great place for a newbie to start.

Thanks for sharing... it is really great for beginners for sure

[@kasamechawla9928]

That's awesome Juna. Thanks for sharing.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for watching!

[@shantell4678]

Finally getting to this video. So glad I did. I use PlaceIt mockups sometimes for my store and for my clients but I've never used the t-shirt designer. Thanks again for the tip. That was fun (and quick!)

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MSharizyn]

So grateful to you for the video and all the great links!! Someone recommended I do this and I just discovered your channel. Thx so much!

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome! Glad I could help

[@justcallmeneb8025]

Yeah I use place more than any other paid tool I own. Mock ups, t shirt designs, Instagram post templates, and logo maker. My marketing strategy uses place it quite often as well!

[@DetourShirts]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing

[@VictoriaJoyce1775]

Very informative and very useful Juna thx again.

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Leo-pf3cd]

I have used Placeit one of the tishirt designs and did sell. Do not use it as much now, but might back to using it

[@DetourShirts]

It works... thanks for sharing

[@Jennerwtx1]

Hi Juna, I use Placeit for mixing up my mockups when i get tired of the same old Etsy mockups. I stumbled upon their t-shirt designer and made a few test designs. They have cute clip art to incorporate. It’s a good tool to have in your design arsenal.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for sharing!! Yeah... they do have some good clip art for sure

[@jenny_rice]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@DetourShirts]

You're welcome!

(so happy you corrected the spelling 😁) 👍

[@DetourShirts]

No problem 😊 sometimes I type to fast and incorrectly

[@chetan7130]

What is your advice for pattern based shop because I am not getting sales ?

[@DetourShirts]

Do patterns that are unique and that nobody else has

[@petersongallery]

Question ... why does "My Dounloads" page only offer 72 dpi ? What do we do to make them 300 dpi ? Thanks :)

[@DetourShirts]

I'm not sure what DPI mine is but when I zoom in it's not pixelated and it uploaded to Merch just fine... so I wouldn't worry about it.

[@russorox654]

Hey Juna, i love your videos, btw you misspelled *Recycle* hehe !

[@DetourShirts]

Someone else just saw that... I'll change it in the mockup... but I can't change it in the video

[@starwheelz4573]

Hello Juna! I need your expertise on something. I have a band and I want to create t-shirts from our CD covers, but when I upload them to printful, the colors don't look as good as they look on the CD booklet (paper). What can I do to make the colors on the shirt look as vivid as they look on paper?

[@DetourShirts]

It could be a few different things...Your monitor may not be calibrated... If you scanned the CD covers or taken a picture of the CD covers it could have lost brightness.... I would get the original file you used for your CD cover and use the same CMYK colors... they may not look as good on screen but you could do a test run with one and see how it actually prints on a shirt.

[@starwheelz4573]

@@DetourShirtsThank you so much! I will try it.

[@MiriamWalcott]

I’ve used Placeit for designing in the past but haven’t sold any of those designs to date.

[@DetourShirts]

I'm crossing my fingers

[@farhanatabassum2399]

Can I use the Placeit design to any POD site without any kind of Copyright issue?

[@DetourShirts]

You can if you change it up... like I did... you don't want someone else with the same design

[@Saiiddesigns]

can you do like a second part for the keyword research tags, bullet points and how to place them all together ? That would be perfect Thank you

[@DetourShirts]

I'll see if I can add it to the list... thanks for the idea

[@Saiiddesigns]

@@DetourShirts Sure, No problem

[@nates9211]

@Detour Shirts Hey Juna, thanks for the great video man. Question, what is your workflow to create the same design for different platforms that require different pixel sizes? Can I use the Amazon 4500x5400 for say Redbubble and Etsy or do I have to create multiple versions of my designs, which would be a waste of time to be honest? What say you? Thanks again

[@DetourShirts]

Great question...Yes... I used to use 4500x5400 for all POD sites for t-shirts and most products... but there are some products on RedBubble that don't work well with that size.... I think I will probably increase size now that we have this tool so that I can use it on more products on RedBubble.

[@wolfgangsepp2284]

I do have Envato Elements but have not tried P!ace it yet. Thank you for the very informative video.

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome!

[@marieslife2085]

Hi Juna 👋 first here. Really love your content. I Sold March Madness items on redbubble and saw your t shirt. thank you again for your videos. Have a great day.

[@DetourShirts]

Awesome! Thank you! Hope you get even more sales

[@marieslife2085]

@@DetourShirts Thank you.

[@RailinX]

Typo in the recycle :) Awesome to see a nice design made in place it tshirt maker. It never works for me. I love their mock-ups, though.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for catching that... I totally missed it.. luckily I can make that change easily

[@ahmedhassan-xv5ei]

are placeit have free user same canva?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... there are some FREE placeit mockups and stuff

[@ayoubchelli5883]

Do you think that the situation in the world these days can affect negatively on pod?

[@DetourShirts]

Anything could... When COVID first hit.... POD was down for a few months

[@harijomk]

Thanks Juna. Is the download resolution 300 dpi?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't know the exact DPI but it is high enough for Merch by Amazon and other PODs.

[@iamjohnath7490]

You can save items from place it in so many resolutions. I havent tested myself bigger then 4500/5400 px but that is enough for me

[@axlgnr84]

I created hundreds of design/ on place it like that, and nothing sells on Etsy…

[@DetourShirts]

Design for the audience on Etsy... don't just design anything

[@imsharathkumar]

👍🏻

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you

[@md.shahadathossen9020]

CAN I USE DESIGN FROM IT FOR MARKETING FOR FIVERR. MARKET PLACE OR SHUTTERSTOCK?

[@DetourShirts]

Hmmmm.... I don't know the rules for Fiverr but I would guess you will really need to change it up for Fiverr.. but it would seem wrong for shutterstock.
