Hey,
My name is Shimmy Morris, I’m currently 25 years old, and I’ve been interested in business since I was 12. I started selling in School; food, drinks, phones, etc… Then I moved onto bigger more expensive items with eBay. I always did side jobs during school as well, like photography, editing, etc.
At age 18 I started Print on Demand, my first business. I was hugely successful in this business and it kickstarted what was to come. I sold over $70k worth of apparel in a very short space of time. I moved into Amazon FBA and creating real scalable brands. My Amazon Business just passed a huge milestone of $500k which is just massive for me!
I started private coaching/consulting a few years ago and I was told I was pretty good at teaching which is what inspired me to start this KZbin channel and create my first course which was an Amazon FBA Course, which now has over 200 students who love it!
A bit about me not business-related. I’m incredibly sporty and love being active… Snowboarding, mountain biking, football, basketball, table tennis, you name it, I probably do it! As well as that, I love photography and specifically travel photography. Above all else, I’m a proper petrolhead and like the occasional electric car too.
That’s me! I’d love to hear about you, this channel is a two-way thing, I love seeing comments and learning about my viewers so feel free to drop it in the comments, or DM me on insta :D

Would love to have a tutorial on how to make the image overlayed with a vintage look/faded look. Great video!

[@loredanaz]

Thank you for a great tutorial and for the info you offer through this channel. I am watching yt videos on POD, made 12 sales on redbubble since November, mostly stickers but I think it's still okish. I am always looking for ways to optimise my designs. But I do have a question: why not transform the mask and make it slightly taller and larger, so all the design is visible and the text is not cut off? this is a great idea but I would use it on the edges only. Also, I always make sure the grunge textures I use are commercial free when saving them. Someone worked on those too. And if you have a few that are good high quality and you can use them again and again, I would consider purchasing a pack even if it's not free. Like fonts, the textures/overlays have a great visual impact on the finished piece.

[@shimmymorris1]

that's awesome! nice! I was going to expand the mask but I thought the top of the picture was irrelevant anyway. The difference with the commercial rights of the grunge border, you're not using the border but you've cut it away, and it's a totally different picture, if you kept the border there then you'd be right, you wouldn't be able to use it

[@theaajbranding2406]

Love this quick tutorial. 😍👍

[@user-qh9ur8ym8p]

I was wondering how would I print that onto a black fabric, wouldnt it be hard for vinyl to cut edges like that? Since i cant sublimate on black garmet. Hope to hear from you soon!

No it's worked for me in the past, it can sometimes come out a little bitty but for the most part it look great

Bro i got a question. What about opacity in this design will it affect the outcome in DTP print on demand? For example on white t-shirt or you need change the opacity part to halftones to look good?

[@shimmymorris1]

opacity will effect the print for sure. I never really mess with that

[@enstantman]

I have one question. I have noticed that you are using RGB color mode. But if I use this in CMYK mode then the colors become horrible. Should I make the design in RGB mode so that people can see the vibrant colors on screen, or should I go with CMYK mode

[@shimmymorris1]

I always use RGB colour mode, just something i've always done

make sure you you've selected the inverse so it deletes the outside

Very helpful video Shimmy. I Will have to try that in Gimp. I did a search for trends on Redbubble and found Sleeplng Serpent trending with only 38 items. Do you think that is worth trying to create a design for?

[@shimmymorris1]

awesome, let me know how it goes in GIMP. That doesn't sound like there's any demand but give it a go, why not

[@embracingnirvana7429]

Less than a week after I made that comment here there are now 138 designs for sleeping serpent. Maybe I should have kept quiet.
