[@eunoiavision7567]

I started on Kittl per your video, as I don't have the skills for Photoshop or Affinity. Unfortunately Kittl doesn't go up to anything past 6144k px. What do you recommend getting to those larger sizes? Also, do you find that getting the Tshirts to accept the change of colors can be difficult? I go through and change the colors but in the end there's always the active Tshirt/baseball shirt and the hoodies/sweatshirts that are resistant to change. I've contacted Redbubble about and so far I'm waiting to hear back. Thanks.

[@MrPeaceandLiberty]

With many of my designs, I generate four versions of the design (in BeFunky): 1) The main design with a transparent BG. 2) A design with a background and a little "whitespace" around the edge (for instance a white design w/ black BG) for stickers, which I also tend to use on the water bottle and tote bag, too. 3) A version on a transparent postcard (1800x2600 or 2600x1800, depending on the design.) 4) A two sided mug (which I would not have been able to figure without your kind advice, Juna!)

[@DetourShirts]

Great tips.... thanks for sharing

[@bl8388]

Making 2 or more designs beforehand is a great idea for redbubble. Appreciate this advice.

[@euronesia]

I use this technique using Artboards in Affinity Designer, I set up a template file layouts needed for redbubble matching the sizes for the products. Name them as for what is going to be used on redbubble products, that way when I export the names of the files are ready and easy to find which goes where. Then I used that template to layout the design and also make special ones for full print products. At the end I just export it all at once as png using Export Persona and woala... next to redbubble and upload them. It's a process but it helps with workflow and can optimise each design for specific product easily.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes!! Very good tip... I may have to make that a video... thanks for the idea

[@aokt-shirts5840]

I would love to see a video on that if you are up to doing something like that.

[@DetourShirts]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching it all... I know it was kinda long

[@oldroadie]

For mugs you can select pattern and most times it will double the design for both sides. Saves one resize.

[@DetourShirts]

Whenever I try that it doesn't fit the way I want but yes, if it works than that does save an upload

[@valentinas1531]

You explain everything clearly. I don't know English very well. but I understood everything perfectly. Thanks a lot. Greetings from heroic Ukraine!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad to hear that!

[@mclicksterdesigns]

For sticker designs that I specifically want as white, I will only turn on transparent stickers. For those that don't know, this is in the gear options for stickers. When I do that, I typically will make a second design in black so I can have it on white products as wel.

[@DetourShirts]

That makes sense... thanks for sharing

I'm definitely going to add the greeting card/postcard to my workflow. I make a mug version for each design, based on your previous mug template video. Love doing that; they look just great. I will make a sticker version for many, as well. I also picked up from another KZbinr to try out using a pattern for larger products like blankets and shower curtains, as well as backpacks, duffel bags, socks, etc. I find that the offset grid pattern, scaled down, often looks very nice.

Great content! I was making all of these mistakes in the beginning lol - One thing I do (because I'm lazy) is upload the 'black font' version on the postcards so that I don't need to create a special dimension file. Also, there are RedBubble templates that can help, especially with clocks because they provide numerals in various types and colors that one can use in their design.

[@DetourShirts]

Great tip... yeah the templates can help... I should have mentioned them... thanks for the tip

[@jimdart8219]

When I make designs for Redbubble I use anywhere from 4 to 10 artboards in Affinity designer. I won't go into details here. set up the boards you want (nothing on them) before you do anything with the boards click save-as. Put it in a folder. Do this with all your set ups. The next time you need a particular artboard lay out, open the folder, doubled click the lay-out you want. Bang no set up required. I now have 8 artboard layouts stored on my desk top in the artboards folder.

[@DetourShirts]

Yup... very good tip... I should have mentioned to save the boards for next time

[@aokt-shirts5840]

In 10:07, I remember it was a gear icon on the second tab. There is the place where we can activate shirt for babies/toddlers. And inside that tab is where we change the default colors for babies/toddlers clothing. After quite some time, I prefer to Manage my portfolio > copy design so each and every placement stays like how I do it for other shirt. This guide is really good. What I think I'm going to change in my process is, to change the default mug color to white (because the default black on white mug handle is ugly) and make 7600x7600 or bigger design to better fit the larger item. Thank you again :-)

[@DetourShirts]

Yup... I forgot to mention the kids/baby clothes... and I really like the copy design feature too.

[@pullinguppegs1642]

I find I am unable to make the bigger size 7600 x 7600 in Canva. My tips -If you go into the Edit tab for TShirts where the products are listed, you have to manually turn children's sizes on and choose your colour. -for colourful graphic designs I save a transparent and then another with a colour back ground for the white products. But I like your tip for word designs. - sometimes you can choose the all over pattern option if your design suits, for the larger sized items. Thanks for the helpful video Juna 👍

[@DetourShirts]

These are great tips... thanks for sharing

[@P-Funk69]

Thanks for the content. Do you actually do this for every item or do you just turn off products that you don’t typically sell? I would think by now you have a pretty good idea of the types of products that sell for you. I love your channel btw. ❤

[@DetourShirts]

Both! If the design looks well on a notecard or sticker than yes... otherwise I just put my design only on products that it looks good on.

[@CarlosEduardoDaCosta]

Thanks for the video!!!!! I have a question concerning color of shirt and color of design. If I have a design with a black font for a white shirt and want to have the same design with white font for a black shirt, can I upload different designs for the shirt? So the white shirt has the black font and the black shirt has the white font? Thank you again!

[@DetourShirts]

You would have to do 2 separate uploads for the different color shirts.... I wish RedBubble let you do a light and a dark version but they don't

[@jddude9]

Hey Juna Great Content man. Been Following you for a long time. Just wanted to ask a question about uploading different version for same design on different products. Does Redbubble count this different upload in their daily upload limit? I mean if we upload same design version for different products . Thanks man.

[@DetourShirts]

I don't think so but I actually never tested it... my guess is this all counts as one upload

[@karenboggs2788]

Hi Juna, thanks so much for the tutorial! What do you do about designs that show up differently on different colored shirts? I have some t-shirts that I used black lettering on white, but on black I use white lettering, for example. It's not a different product that I can create a different design for. It's 2 different designs for the same t-shirt, but just with different colors in the designs. Is there anything to get around that? I'm not sure if I'm making my question clear, so sorry about that....

[@DetourShirts]

It's a great question and honestly you can't do anything besides pick the default color....RedBubble still let's people see the other colors for some reason. I really wish they had an option to pick all the colors....so I would do two uploads with the two different designs

[@quemalcy]

Canva users can use cm rather than pixels.. I have standard sizes in cm for small products like cards,pads masks etc.. One size for wide products, one size foe narrow products..

[@Heretotravel-uf9md]

This is a really basic question but if you were to pick pink as a background color on a shower curtain for instance would the shower curtain be all over pink and then your design on top of that? Or, a pillow, can you choose the actual pillow color other than the standard white? I'm confused with regards to the underlying printing method. I get black and white but can you use any color options on products other than the standard clothing?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... that's how it works... they will print the background and then your design on top of it.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes it does

[@RahulSharma-mo1kr]

@@DetourShirts With the method you used to export the PNG file does it automatically do this? Or do you have to go to the document settings and manually change to transparent background?

It's not automatic... you will have to remove the background and choose "Selection Only" in the Area dropdown that comes up when you export as a PNG

[@gloriazuloaga9772]

Hi, I don't understand if you download the mug design on a white background or transparent. Thanks!

hi. is there a way i can fix the product like backpack to include ? i tried it several times but everytime i save it. it doesn’t include it my product listing

[@DetourShirts]

Are you saying as a default so you don't actually click it to select it as a product you want?

[@debradavis9312]

I have a general store, a vintage store, a kids store, and a religious store. I also have a general store on cafepress that I am going to try to work on. Right now, I am just storing some pictures there in case one of my stores on Redbubble gets shut down. I love Redbubble but one thing I don't like about it is there is no phone support so they refuse to tell you why a store was shut down and ignore your emails if you are telling them anything about your store that was shut down. So this makes sellers nervous because we put so much effort in, and it is unfair to just shut our store down for one design that is not even copyrighted.

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for sharing....I've been hearing that a lot... I don't know what's happening over there... I hope it doesn't happen to you... all we can do is keep uploading safe designs and practice safe uploading procedures... no copyright or trademark and no tag spamming.... good luck.

I actually make more with Print on Demand than I do with my day job... the day job is mainly for a secure paycheck, insurance and other perks

[@Pyxelles]

Helpful tutorial Juna, thanks. Another thing I don't like on Redbubble is that you can't adjust the designs on the kids' Tees and Onsies as by default the design is positioned so low towards the stomach! Also they group certain products together which shouldn't be grouped together hence, when you want to scale a pattern up and down, you're forced to have the same scale on products. Like in some products in the same group, I want a smaller scale of the pattern and on they other a bigger scale of the pattern but it's impossible to scale them individually. I wish they left all the products to be edited individually. They don't listen to feedback from artists either. I really like the stylish simplicity of your logo, what is that typeface please, if you don't mind? Thanks.

[@DetourShirts]

All good points, thanks for sharing.... BTW my logo is hand made I did not your a typeface I drew the letters myself.

[@GranMetallik]

Do we really need to change product size for each, instead of fixing their size by zoom in & out option in redbubble?

Not every product needs this kind of attention... Cards and mugs do but a lot of the other ones you can just zoom in and out if you have a design that is big enough

If you are doing your design in Canva you will need to copy that design and change the white text to something dark (I just like using black). White text will not show up on stickers. Click on the sticker when uploading and upload the design with the dark letters just for stickers. Do the same for anything else that only has a light background like the tote bags.

Juno, thanks for this video. I have a Redbubble account and I have done what you are showing here, but there is still an issue with the colors.

The rest of the tees are white as I want them to be. Any tips please? Thank you.

[@DetourShirts]

I'm guessing you are doing it right and picking the colors for each product... RedBubble is weird though... they don't have white for the Active T-Shirt so they just put it on black.... same with the lightweight hoodie and sweatshirt... they don't have white so they put it on gray...

@@DetourShirts Yes, pics from Canva. Is there a compression tool in Affinity?

[@sakpatten]

I think you could use GIMP to make a smaller size file.

[@IlanaRapp]

@@sakpatten thanks Scott! I have Gimp. I'll try that. :)

[@kriscree8627]

Or you can just save Redbubble's templates to your hard drive for each product and fit your design to their templates. You can still keep the background black on the waterbottle, magnet, and stickers by saving your file as a .jpg

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... that would work too... the main point is that there are several products that need their own uploads

[@FreddyTraxx]

Do u have any videos teaching marketing for POD? There’s so many graphic design tutorials, I’m a graphic designer already I do t need any more education in that. So how does one create a sustainable career out of this?

[@DetourShirts]

Marketing is huge if you are selling on your own website but if you you sell on Amazon, RedBubble, TeePublic, etc you don't need much marketing if you are designing for the audiences on those sites..... create something good for those audiences and they will find you.

[@FreddyTraxx]

@@DetourShirts i dont believe you, theres always something that can be done to promote your POD store, if my livelyhood depends on customers i cant just be passive and wait for redbubble to to suggest my store to people. And also then, how would i market from my own website?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm not saying you can't. It's just that ads can get really expensive if you are going the traditional route but if you want to advertise I would suggest starting a newsletter subscription, do more social media (twitter, instagram, tik tok, pinterest), start a Facebook group, start a blog..... those are less expensive.... Facebook and Google ads are an option but can be pricey.

Hey when writing the title on Redbubble do i have to put the artist name on the title ?

Just wondering if you can tell me what the problem is on Redbubble where my items are not showing my store? I have filled in all the Information for my store including the banking information and I have more than 5 images uploaded. I am at a lost as to what the problem is. My items in TeePublic show up on my store immediately. Thanks

[@DetourShirts]

Sometimes it takes a while.... check your tags... sometimes that holds them up

@@DetourShirts I don't see anything in my tags and non of my graphics are a problem. I have no indication as to what the problem is at all from RedBubble!

Hi Juno, I am new to Redbubble. Currently I have uploaded 10 designs. I know it is not enough and I am keep on uploading new designs. Meanwhile I have a question to ask from you. Currently I am creating design based on trending daily keywords. Which means I am creating designs according to the demand. Am I doing the right thing here? Because I have seen in other youtube channels saying that we should target in 1 specific niche and expand in that. But is it really possible? Can we do like that? Then our visibility in the platform will get reduced right? I am little bit confused here. Can you help me to solve this situation? Also should we do marketing for our Redbubble designs outside of Redbubble? Thank you.

[@DetourShirts]

I'll see if I can answer all your questions.You can do what you are doing or target 1 specific niche. Either can work. What is really important is to design something that an audience at RedBubble likes. Whether it's trending keywords, a specific niche or something else the designs have to be something someone will stop and want to buy. The more you can do that the better. As you design more and more and start getting sales you will get the data to know what else to design. You can do marketing for RedBubble outside. I would use social media or other cheap methods because the mark up on products aren't enough to pay for Facebook/Google Ads for example.

[@Damian-lz7mr]

@@DetourShirts Thank you very much 😃

[@worldwidehealingllc9313]

what is the size for t-shirts?

[@DetourShirts]

I like using 4500x5400 but it's actual size for RedBubble shirts is only 3873x4814.... I like having a bigger size so that my design fits on other products

[@Johnmakertube]

how do I know if my designs are being viewed on Redbubble? They have "Recently Viewed" that shows on the landing page once you sign in, it shows a number of my designs that I didn't view, does that stand for visitors viewing my designs? thank you.

[@DetourShirts]

There is no real good way of knowing.... I just keep uploading anyway

[@Johnmakertube]

Thanks, I thought so and was disappointed. Hopefully they will come around in the near future and let designers see if their designs are being viewed on their site.

[@AJ-wt5zy]

When I did postcard size in the past it stopped by default the posters etc and only did the postcard and greeting card and nothing else. To get round this I changed the size to 6000 x 4000 px for all in this option only and made sure the background on RB was the colour ie black and this worked on alot of designs, hope this helps someone.

Ps i use canva so have restrictions on size.

If the postcard image is changed as suggested to 1300 x 900 then it is too small for many of the expensive prints as for some reason they use the same image.

[@DetourShirts]

As long as you follow that ration your should be fine.... you could do 2600x1800 or 5200x3600.

When I choose black as a default color for All Shirts, the sweatshirt Always turns out blue,, why???

[@DetourShirts]

There are some times where there isn't a color for the other products so RedBubble just chooses a random color but in this case there are black sweatshirts so I think you may just have to go to the dropdown and choose black for sweatshirts.... RedBubble is weird like that sometimes.
