5 Design Ideas with AI + Masks. The Super Combo on Kittl

[@JensGraikowski]

Wow, you're amazing! I've never used Kittl before, but I'm definitely giving it a shot. Here's the deal: I'm a perfectionist. I haven't posted anything on any POD platform yet because I'm not 100% satisfied with any design I've created so far. I mainly work with Inkscape and Canva, but I reckon Kittl might have some secret moves to make my designs look way more pro. Perhaps I'll finally gather the courage to put them out there. Thanks again for everything you do. Wishing you all the best! 🙏😎

[@DetourShirts]

You got this.... put your designs out there and get feedback

[@NiaLaLa_V]

I hope you found your courage. In my 40 years on this planet I have always seen flaws in my work and other people absolutely loved every single thing I have ever created, even the stuff I consider a complete fail. Art is subjective, feed the subjects!

[@JensGraikowski]

Hey, @@NiaLaLa_V! Thank you for your response. Yes, I actually did put a few designs out there and I even sold a few t-shirts and stickers! Now I just need to kick my habit of procrastination to turn it into a business. 😂

[@saimasayyed9445]

Really Juna you are very talented. And the best thing about your videos is that you explain the technique in such a simple way that even a difficult task seems easy to do! Keep going!

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you .... that's what I was hoping for.... I just want everyone to learn how to do it

[@ForeverSunsetsBtq]

Sometimes I feel like clapping "Bravo" after your designing videos! Thank you so much for making such easy to understand examples and techniques that are easy to learn!

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome!

[@MissMolly3377]

I love the last one, Juna. I am definitely going to make some of those.

[@DetourShirts]

Wonderful!

[@stephstephatron2887]

thanks so much Juna, I had no idea how to use masks in kittl today and you've just shown me exactly what to do. The AI sandwich methods are so good, I'll often have a fantastic design but it's too square and cut off at the edges to put straight onto a t-shirt and have it look good so your video is going to be super helpful!

[@DetourShirts]

Glad I could help

The masks are like Canva frames. Thanks Juna, I love it. I am wondering if you can make your own masks, for Kittl , like you can make your own frames for Canva, with PowerPoint or figma? I will have to look for tutorials. 🤔

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you

[@BDM55]

Maybe I missed it but the first AI image you created you chose Art Deco as style but then you picked a previously made image that was different and better (IMO) -- but did not show how you made that one - any clues? Perhaps a tutorial on AI prompts in Kittl would also be helpful - thanks

[@DetourShirts]

It was also art deco style.... pretty much the same prompts.... just got lucky before

[@BDM55]

@@DetourShirts - I'm wondering if adding colors to the prompts would help -- mine did not come out that well -- great video as always

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! We have a few videos on tips for creating prompts in Kittl as well as a prompt book page that explains each style. Hope that helps!

[@yasirarafatnishad8558]

[@avanjob205]

Why do you make it look so easy :P

[@DetourShirts]

Secret.... it is easy... you got this!

[@montanadivacreations9267]

Is there ANY way to get Kittl to just put the standard Shirt size as a default on their dashboard. Or at least way to SAVE our sizes easily? I save a blank template to reuse again and again. Just would be so awesome if they made a 4500 x 5400 default setting, knowing that many of us are using this for Merch. Just saves steps in the process.

[@DetourShirts]

I'll take to Drew an see what we can do.

Do you need to vectorize the AI image you generated before it can be used for POD?

On Kittl? No... at least I didn't

[@AdrianLopez77277]

Hi juna great video, what do you think about the future of POD? do you think that IA can be the end of amazon merch?

Nope it's just a tool.... designers will still be needed.... the competition will be tougher but we will learn to adjust.

[@DetourShirts]

Kittl is not free.... it's free to try but to really use it for Print on Demand you will need one of the plans.

[@lairekarice3556]

Great vid thanks im just now finding out about AI generated designs. Would I be able to use the AI designs from kittl to get a company like supacolor to print them out or use it for dtf?

[@jilll5711]

Hi Juna, can you tell us the font for the other letter mask Kittl has? They have two letter masks and I can't figure out the font of the one you didn't show in this tutorial. Thanks!

It's called Alfa Slab One... go make something fun with it

[@Dereck2277]

Juna- great videos! I have a brick and mortar Outdoor Retail store in East Texas and I am designing shirts to represent our brand. I am on Kittl, and I am having troubles getting the texture to blend with design and separating from the background. Every time I try to put it on a shirt it's the entire block and it won't "remove the background " even when I ask it too. Any suggestions?

[@DetourShirts]

You are almost there... After selecting your texture, you just have to use select Alpha Mask in the dropdown and then turn on Clip Content

[@Dereck2277]

@DetourShirts Thank you! I will try this when I get back to work tomorrow! I am having a lot of fun designing shirts and now stickers, thanks to you!

[@kellylouis6840]

Can you make a Mask a solid color like red or blue entirely

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... you could

[@househeadspeakz]

Great design tips Juna. I have not experienced AI with designs because Canva is not doable. I may have to return to Kitti so I can stand out but this will be somewhere down the line. It still costs more to use their Pro than Canva.

[@DetourShirts]

Makes sense... these videos will be here when you are ready

[@Kittldesign]

We hope you give Kittl a try when you are ready!

[@time2play504]

Love this! In your video it shows 228 masks available and now in kittl it’s showing 204 available and only part of the alphabet letters show up?! Any ideas where the other letters went?

[@DetourShirts]

I'm not sure... maybe they are updating something... I bet they come back

[@jefflucchesi8468]

While watching this video on 5/22/24, I noticed that some of the masks were not available in my Kittl expert plan. I do not see any letter masks, nor the tall, thin, vertical mask. Any idea what happened.

[@DetourShirts]

They could have made changes... not sure 100%

[@gotcha_luv]

thanks for all these videos, been learning a lot. quick question, are you from hawaii? cuz after watching some of your vids, it's subtle but i noticed that certain words you say sounds very close to how some people from hawaii would say them

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... I was born and raised in Hawaii... it's really hard to shake that accent

You can do each one separate

[@Creeperss7]

JUNA how do you do this in Affinity Designer 2?

[@Creeperss7]

I dont have Kittl. Im too poor.

[@DetourShirts]

You would have to mask the AI design into a shape to achieve the same result

[@Creeperss7]

@@DetourShirts like an oval or square?

When i double click to move my picture in the mask it moves the whole letter and not the picture. What am i doing wrong?

You may need to double click inside the letter and you should see a difference

Hi Juna can you tell Us about the United States T-shirt design Trends, I am doing Tshirts design but don't know the Trends, can you please make a video on it .

[@DetourShirts]

It really depends on the Print on Demand sites.... trends come and go and are usually influenced by pop culture but they can be political too..... you can find current trends by looking at what is selling and see if a certain topic is selling well..... you can use tools like Pretty Merch, Merch Informer and DS Amazon Quickview to see what is trending on Amazon.... A lot of times the POD site will actually tell you what is trending too.
