Print on Demand 2024: From Prompt to Posting with POD (Full Tutorial)

[@valkot-66]

Thank you, Juna, for this lesson! You are one of the few video bloggers who give so much useful and necessary information without charging money :-)

[@DetourShirts]

You are so welcome!

[@OctoKidsTV]

Hey Juna, you can easily create a white outline around the image in canva by using the shadows effect - glow - then increase size, set the blur amount to zero - change color to white - and adjust the intensity to 100. Hope it helps!

[@DetourShirts]

Nice... I have to try that trick out

[@feuph]

Awesome! I use “linocut style” instead of vector sometimes for a more natural feel or mimic other printing techniques like silkscreen and such. Generates a bit rougher lines not so clean as vector depending on the theme might work out

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks for the tip

[@bosslifebeauty]

❤ Affinity design products are my tools of choice, and now they are part of Canva. The possibilities will be endless. So inspiring and helpful! Thank you!

Hey Juna cool tutorial, I missed these. Have you tried the new edit tools in Dalle 3. The edit button lets you keep the image but just change one part. Instead of regenerating a whole new picture. It is super helpful. Your next video should be about Vexels new Ai function they are promoting.

[@DetourShirts]

I will have to check it out..... Thanks for the tips on both Dalle 3 and Vexels

[@terencegibbins3894]

Very interesting video and thank you so much for making and uploading:)😊 I have never used Chat GTP as I guess I've been lazy and either relied on producing my own graphics in Adobe Illustrator or using Leonardo AI. But I am intrigued by the graphics style of artwork produced via ChatGTP and really need to make time to fully experiment with it after being so impressed with the Graphics you have originated there. Thank you once again, it's all very impressive:)😊

[@DetourShirts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Basketcase0]

Great video as always. Thanks!!! I started my own website all thanks to you Sensei. Just trying to figure out the marketing part. Free Instagram and Facebook marketing is more difficult than designing.

Always great tutorials. I'd love to see one where you do the keyword research and listings. I know you are primarily design tutorials though. I just like your teaching style.

[@DetourShirts]

Great suggestion!

[@hopegrable]

As a bonafide book nerd, I really enjoyed this video, Juna. Your search word bookworm has a very steady search rate on Google Trends, so it's definitely an evergreen niche. I think you could do a tutorial like this for other evergreen niches and the videos would remain relevant for your followers to learn from for at least another year. These design tools keep getting better and better. I wonder what we'll be designing this time next year? 👍☺️💖💕

[@DetourShirts]

Thanks.... Yeah... I bet I would be designing differently next year

What is the proper pixel for making on T-shirt? pixel from chat GPT I think it is around 1024x1024 for square size, is it okay if I do not up scale it but I expand its size by adjusting directly for example by photoshop and change its size to be around 3000x3000 even though its pixel is quite not smooth when I zoom it closely, what is your final pixel after upscale that you think it is proper for making t-shirt?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes it is 1024x1024... you can stretch it to a point but the more you stretch it the more pixelated it will be. Changing it to 3000x3000 will double the size of the pixels so if you don't mind that... the edges and straight lines may look jagged so take a look at that before uploading.

Hi Juna, thank you again for another great video!

[@ZakariaNada]

Maybe in your next video you'll explain why you don't use the vectorizing option in Illustrator? It's faster and have much control especially with small color palette.

[@DetourShirts]

I usually don't because I like keeping all the details but in this case I think it would have been okay.... for example the princess one would not have been a good vector candidate

Thank you for your tutorial, Juna! I was following the tutorial. It was fun to generate the images on the Chatgpt, but I had a hard time using the pen tool...just need to practice more. If I want to use the upscaled image to make a sticker or T shirt on Kittl, can I skip the work of making the stroke on Affinity designer after removing the background? Thank you!

If the edges are crisp you should be okay

[@Souchak349]

Hi Juna, thanks for the tutorial. I don’t understand. At 22:43 you said we could just change it to a vector. Do you have a video that shows how to do that and why do we need to change to a vector if it’s upscaled? Is it only because you needed to add a stroke or is there another reason? Just seems like too much work and too many tools. Is there one ai tool that does it all, that doesn’t have this problem?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes... here is a video on how to change AI designs into a vector...kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGeYeX6GZdKZrbssi=VpNiOOwK7Yl6mL2d

Hi Juna awesome video as always, question I realized you didn't use the princess reading a book that it wouldn't print well on a t-shirt is there a video I could watch on what prints well and bad on a t-shirt. Thanks.

[@DetourShirts]

I don't.... and really I'm just guessing. I should probably get it printed and see what it really looks like

[@Cricket-Shorts-BD-360]

Hello ❤ I'm new to this field. I just started designing some t-shirts from Canva Pro. Some questions I have to you. If you answer, It will be very helpful for me as a newbie. 1. Should I start with only one niche or can I go with a different niche at a time? 2. What tools are you using for designing? After generating stickers, what tool you use for detail design, typography, etc? 3. How many designs have you uploaded yet? 4. How many designs should I upload per day?

[@DetourShirts]

1. If you are super confident in one niche you could start with 1 but for most people I would try multiple niches to find the few that work well for you. 2. I'm mainly use Affinity Designer 2 but I've also used Kittl and Canva before too. 3. For Design with Detour Im over 400 this year... over all I have over 12,000 design on Amazon and 1000+ on other POD sites 4. As many as you can but no more than 30/day for TeePublic and RedBubble. Amazon will tell you the limit you have based on your tier.

[@deborahmw777]

Are there like maybe two main apps that do it all so we don't have to go from one app to the another app, to another app? It's o er whelming all these apps to make a product to upload to redbubble or other selling sites. Ugh, can infinity design do the upscaling 6 times and remove back ground and everything thing else? Just wondering 🤔 🙂

[@DetourShirts]

The closest thing to that would be Kittl. Kittl has AI. It can upscale, remove the background and vectorize if you want to go that route. It can also create a full design for a t-shirt and save your final design as a transparent PNG.

WOO-HOOOO... Let's flood the PODs with AI images! YAY!

[@DetourShirts]

Nope.... let make good designs with AI images.... just flooding PODs is not a great strategy. No matter where you get your graphics from you will still need to create designs that people want to buy. Don't get this part mistaken. It's not about just quantity. It's about having the right designs.

[@williamlucas5972]

As opposed to flooding it with any other images??
