In this video I show you how to create custom stickers in Adobe Illustrator. Stickers are a great and super fun way to represent your brand design. When going to get your stickers printed ask for "die cut" if you like them cut to shape :)

Back in elementary school, I used to design and sketch instead of listening to teachers. I always get in trouble bc of it. Now I’m circling back to my true passion but still have PTSD from it hahah. Love watching your video:)

[@healingwithholly4602]

[@ComputerBoyc-boy]

I am Uni in the UK as a Digital media studying. I only found your KZbin channel last Dec 21 I have M1 Mac Mini. I have got an old 2015 MacBook Pro that is working in MacOS. I use Adobe Illustrator, using my course, and freelance and never a designing sticker in Adobe Illustrator before.

What would be the easiest way to outline a vehicle in a picture and edit the background out so I can use it as a sticker? My current way is super difficult. I saw someone make illustrations from a picture and turn it into a sticker and it looks great.

[@AnkitKumar-fw6ix]

what mouse you use with your macbook pro 16 inch or with your working setup

[@ygprmn_id]

what is the minimum pixel for a good sticker?

[@ryleyw3684]

I use photoshop, Id get illustrator but its just yoo expensive for me to have 2 monthly subscriptions, for photoshop i have the cheaper photography plan. I do have a older version of illustrator that I got from a site 7 or so years ago. Now that said i think there is a way on photoshop to turn things into a vector image. Id use illustrator but I find it more complicated even though I took classes in high school

[@superRell99]

Where have you been?😆😍

[@Youtubervideos125]

I have a question for you. What size is the png image you are using to make the sticker, please? Because I have some great images but the size is causing me problems within illustrator?

[@krithy_kumar16]

I have the same doubt!

[@dawnkravagna3200]

If it’s vectorized, it becomes a mathematical image that can be resized.

[@krithy_kumar16]

How do you prevent it from pixelating when you download the drawing from procreate! And what size of a canvas do you use in illustrator and procreate?

[@MeganWeeks]

You have to make sure your resolution and sizing is good! Just increase the DPI under your settings 😊 Also make sure to vectorize it in Adobe for scalability. I typically design on A4 paper sizing but just increase the artboard to fit my artwork.

[@remileallen2706]

Hey great video, one question tho... if the original image was a PNG made in procreate, why vectorize it to only save it back as a PNG?

[@MeganWeeks]

Good question! I always vectorize it to make it more versatile and easily editable. Also gives it a sharper look.

[@remileallen2706]

Okay got you, but you could also just use procreate and upload the PNG directly as well right?

[@remileallen2706]

Cause the finally product tends to be very small in a sense so the details aren't always gonna be viewable

[@MeganWeeks]

@@remileallen2706 technically yes! Just make sure the resolution is sharp 😊

[@MeganWeeks]

@@remileallen2706 yes exactly

[@itsmecynthiaxb]

I probably missed it...what printing company would you recommend?

[@MeganWeeks]

I found a local printing company for this! Sticker mule is good online though

[@itsmecynthiaxb]

@@MeganWeeks thank you so much 😊

[@user-mp6hj7wl2n]

How do u make the white go underneath?

[@bagelbitee3756]

Sitecar design

[@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear]

I keep getting a white square when I do image trace 😅 Am I doing something wrong?

[@MeganWeeks]

hey! is your illustration in black? and are you selecting the black and white image trace option or something else? it typically works best for me when I choose that setting and play with the threshold.

[@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear]

@@MeganWeeks my image is all white I did select the black and white option and I got the same outcome. A white square :/ Maybe I’ll try messing with the threshold

[@sanjeewanalaka4293]

I sent you a msg by email.
