[@AlanKeepsThemLaced1]

what scanner did you use?

[@dontworryaboutit899]

Is this possible to do strictly on the iPad Pro for both apps ?

[@antisaint3617]

since i dont have a scanner can you suggest a good app for scanning these stickers bro? love your work

[@Dreadlabs]

I'd try scanning apps or using a high resolution camera in a room with good lighting!

[@424lucas]

Hello one question How can I get a pack of shapes for my designs? And how do I google the stickers in jpg?

[@Dreadlabs]

Hi! The shapes are available on our website, link on that in the description. If you have a scanner at home you can peel the stickers of anything you order by post and scan them in, make sure the DPI is as high as possible for the best quality. If you don't have a scanner I recommend taking a picture with your phone or googling along the lines of "shipping stickers". Hope this helps!

FUCKEN GLAD I FOUND UR CHANNEL

[@Lily235]

How did starting with an existing sticker help at all? How was that different from starting with a rectangle that you draw? Why did you use the clone stamp to erase all the graphics instead of just painting over it? Can you clarify please.

[@Dreadlabs]

1. So the measurements fit exactly like the scanned sticker and we don’t need to adjust anything when we paste our graphic onto the sticker 2. Not sure what you mean by that, I can’t just paste my graphic over an existing graphic now can I?

[@Lily235]

@@Dreadlabs First question why not use a sticker layout by Avery and paste your design on the constrained space. Second question you erased almost everything from the the original using the clone stamp. Why? Why not paint brush with white paint?

[@Dreadlabs]

I’ve never heard of Avery and I used the clone stamp to preserve the paper texture of the sticker so the design would look a bit more realistic than just a flat vector sticker

[@thomasscott4081]

hey how did you select the chains outside of the box so easily and confine it to that area?

[@Dreadlabs]

Hey, can you send me a time mark? Not sure what you mean :)

[@jackb348]

That’s gniffty. It reminds me of the Stereophonic Space Sound sticker on White Zombies Astrocreep 2000 album. That cover was done in 1995 using an early version of Photoshop. You young people are spoiled. Lol

Good vid, but you say like uhm 1000 times in the video its rlky f*cked

[@Dreadlabs]

Sorry for that. I stutter in my native language (dutch) and while I'm explaining I'm also translating everything to English, which results in me saying uhm a lot.
