5 Must-Haves for Every Killer T-Shirt Design (Don't Miss Out!)

[@ProshunKhondoker]

I have created some 50 plus designs, I can tell they are not good but I am trying and I don't wana give up. No sales yet 😢 but thanks to you, I am learning a lot. Thank you very much. keep these amazing videos coming.

[@DetourShirts]

It’s all about the journey, keep at it! 💪 You got this!!

[@bionysos41]

Dont give up, these things need time and practice. Keep it up 👍

[@ZerotoHeroic]

With consistency, you're going to get better at everything over time. But you have to decide I you really wanna keep doing this regardless of if you make sales or not, rather see this early stage as a learning phase. Becos 50 designs is not enough to make sales unless you are on Amazon. Besides, if you have only made 50 designs for a start, you still have alot to learn. This is coming from someone with ove 500 designs. Trust the process.

[@Hamskywal7811]

You my dear Sir, is amazing.Thank you so much for teaching us these gems.As a newbie without any design background, your videos helps clear any roadblocks I have in designing. Many thanks to you 😊.

[@DetourShirts]

You are most welcome

[@miri-amisraelchai]

Thank you for making these videos, Juna! One thing that I always do when I design a t-shirt (I use Kittl) is checking how it looks on a t-shirt in their mockup feature. Often I make small changes to the design based on that. Their mockups are pretty ratty, but I only use them to get a better picture of my layout. Also, when using graphics in the design software that you use, always blow it up to 100% in order to catch any blurry borders etc. Especially important when you use for instance graphics that you downloaded from Creative Fabrica and others. Sometimes they have clutter, sloppy borders due to backgrounds that were not properly removed etc.

[@DetourShirts]

Great advice, thanks for sharing!

[@letmeeeentertainyou]

I agree 💯 %

Love your videos! Thank you so much for your help!

Glad you took the time to listen to this version . . . it just hits differently. Thanks for letting us join you on your XG voyage.

[@DetourShirts]

It was fun to do!

[@musicteacherengel]

Great video, Juna! While other KZbinrs have other specialties like niche research methods or advertising, you are the t-shirt design master. Keep making these design-related videos. Happy Q4!

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@musicteacherengel]

@@DetourShirts On a different note, you helped make a little dream come true. I've often wondered if I would have a design that appears in one of these videos showing best sellers or good examples, and that happened for the first time (I think) in this video.

[@ladyfermenter-ThanksAPint]

I have a hard time finding the name of fonts. For instance if I just find one I like on a T-shirt on Google, the name of the font isn't listed. Any advice on this?

[@DetourShirts]

You can try "What the Font" it works some of the time.... www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont

[@joy440volt]

Very much helpful, thanks.................

[@DetourShirts]

Most welcome!

[@blairhickman3614]

What application/website do you use to check trademark?

[@DetourShirts]

USPTO

[@AhmedrafaaBenmadani]

The most valuable pod video on KZbin ❤ thanks sir

[@DetourShirts]

Wow, thanks!

[@jaimelopez-gi3oo]

I am wondering if you can advise us on using our own art for a t-shirt.

[@DetourShirts]

Absolutely!

[@tapanshah08]

Thanks

Welcome

[@drgdfhg]

Yes, the topic. Like selling winter things during summer not the right topic? 😅

[@DetourShirts]

Exactly!

[@sharpieartist317able]

Keep up the excellent videos. 👍

[@DetourShirts]

More coming soon!

[@1more2voice]

I just watched your video and have a suggestion for prompts. When you ask, ask for "trademark free" in your prompt. Example: (Give me 10 trademark free, funny fish sayings for t-shirts). I word it this way and have had no trouble when checking USPTO.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for the tip! I will try that.

[@markcooper300]

Thanks a lot!❤🎉👏

You're welcome 😊

[@Sister0987]

Hey Juna. Which research tool are you using?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm mostly using Pretty Merch Pro+ right now. Not doing much at the moment

[@cathleendaly2188]

Thanks, your videos are really helpful. Speaking of fonts, what is the slightly distressed font that you use at the beginning of each segment (large white font on orange background)? I've been trying different distressed fonts on tee shirt designs and finding that many of them are a little too distressed and wash out somewhat in my designs.

[@DetourShirts]

It's called Veneer... you can find it here...yellowdesignstudio.com/

[@JohnSmith-ho3cu]

Veneer regular

Do you ever do critiques of your viewers' shops and designs?

[@DetourShirts]

I haven't but I can if you need a video for it

[@BeyondTshirts]

@DetourShirts I don't really "need" a video but if the critique will help your other viewers, I'm all for it! Links are in my video descriptions. Thanks!

[@BaDik_Jacob]

Do you know any Ai tools for putting your designed outfits on models?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't.... that would be a good idea though

[@BaDik_Jacob]

@DetourShirts Yeah, I just want to have a good idea what it would look like on someone before publishing.

[@deborahmw777]

I think kittl charges a credit for each saying it comes up with. Even if you don't use them. If you don't have a lot of credits to work with, just a heads up!

[@DetourShirts]

Yeah, you're right... I had forgotten about that.

[@IrisScribbles]

On the screen it says "Free AI Quote Generator".

[@Ghostrob2023]

The tags that you showed on teepublic which some are copyrighted and trademarked, do you think if I created a drawing similar to the tag but different looking like, Golden Girls drawn as Golden Cats would be okay?

[@DetourShirts]

That's a tough one... it may pass because it's a parody but it may not. I wouldn't try it.

[@Ghostrob2023]

@@DetourShirts I probably won't but very surprised why Teepublic as well as Redbubble doesn't remove the tags or telling artists not to do them unless they are part of the fan program.

I'm in tough niche... Faith-based Christianity. Over the last year, I've gotten more sales OFFLINE from my church family than anything POD. Glad I invested in a heat press and sublimation printer and supplies! 😅😁

Could you please set up the video so that it can be translated with subtitles 🤲

[@DetourShirts]

Usually KZbin processes the subtitles for me quickly. I'm not sure why it's still processing on this one

what fonts would you use for the dog niche with a western/ rustic vintage style?

Kittl has some great fonts... I like the Adventurer ones

Do you like fishing juna ? Rock fishing ? Or sup fishing ?
