Saw "Be Kind" tee in Walmart, this design never gets old. Good video!

[@DetourShirts]

True....Thanks for watching!

[@elevated-apparel]

That's a well copyrighted word also. So yeah you will see it on a few places

[@vladimirvysotsky8810]

Hi, Thanks for your video. This type of video is much better than trends, by exposing low competition trends you just ruin them because there are a lot of "designers" who do keyword stuffing and just kill those trends.

[@DetourShirts]

That may be... but I believe you need both good design and something people are looking for to be successful.....that why I continue to do the trends.

anything that comes from you is great, thank you

Hi everyone. 😉😉 We will probably never meet, yet I greet you with respect and best intentions. Never give up in life and learn to accept that there will be challenging times too. Nevertheless, whatever life has in stock for you, good or bad, keep on believing in yourself and keep on going. Don't you ever forget that there are people who will be on your side, who will love and respect you. Learn to appreciate the world around you, and you will always win. 🌷🌷

Nice... glad I could help

[@assortedbibssundayfootball1312]

Q. When you started in 2005 how many years did it take before you felt like you could make t-shirts that sell well? Can you make a video on what it was like in the early years please and explain how things have changed if you were starting now in 2021.

[@DetourShirts]

The biggest difference it this... in 2005 I created designs I thought were going to sell. I didn't do any research. I just guessed. Ideas that popped into my head. Sometimes it worked but I wasn't that good of a guesser. Nobody really is. Today I design with a lot of data to back up what I am designing. Research before design is key. Design what people are looking for... and yes over time your designs will get better too.

[@assortedbibssundayfootball1312]

@@DetourShirts Thanks for taking the time to explain that.

[@haileykhoo8927]

I prefer text + graphic t-shirts because they usually sell :)

[@DetourShirts]

So true... that's why I do them too

[@simplelivingsimplyloving3080]

Thanks Juna, really appreciate your sharing. I can see that you really enjoy designing T shirts, and you are really great at it :) I am just starting out, and I do both text only and text + graphic designs.

[@DetourShirts]

Thank you so much! Those are my favorite too

[@KasRizvi]

Hi, really appreciate all your help and I learn something new from each of your videos. Your playlist on how to design various T-shirts appear to be only for Affinity. I only use Photoshop and have some basic knowledge of PS. Do you also have videos on designing in Photoshop? Many thanks and best regards

[@DetourShirts]

Great suggestion! I don't have photoshop yet. I'm thinking about getting it just to do videos... look for videos in the future

[@KasRizvi]

Many thanks for your reply. I get a notification for your uploads so hopefully you will do some PS videos. I will try to apply the tools of Affinity for PS and try top find my way. Best regards

[@littlelostchild6767]

Thanks Juna, I'm literally working on a design but I just can't get the transparency mask work right now,. I'm transitioning to Affinity from AI.

[@DetourShirts]

You can do it! I kind of went fast.... it's the erase filter on the rectangle... remember the rectangle and the outline text need to be grouped together

[@gayanimadu3686]

Hi Juna, I appreciate your video's. Everything very useful. I want to know can't do it by illustrator or photoshop.

[@DetourShirts]

Yes you can! I'm sure there is a way... they may not have the erase effect but you can work around that

[@ColdChills01]

😃Thank you very much Juna! 👍🏾 The biggest struggle is exporting to an SVG file correctly. It took me literally hours today of watching videos on so many channels over and over until.. I found a somewhat short video 6:51 that helped to at least have Design Space accept the file. However the squares that cover the letters, do show up in DS and I still need to move some overlapping Letters... for example, if I put the "Dad" on the bottom right or if I wanted to change the individual colors of the outlined duplicates... I basically need an editable file - I NEED YOUR HELP lol 😂 🙏🏾

[@DetourShirts]

If you are using Affinity Designer you just need to export the artboard and make sure to choose "Selection Only" under Area

[@charlenesmith5626]

@@DetourShirts I am unable to get SVG export to work. If I use 'selection only' it removes the rectangles. Should I use subtract instead of erase?

[@whenbirdiesfly]

Can you do a start-to-finish video: text idea>create design>save/file mgmt>upload to POD sites? What else do you recommend for beginners, besides Affinity Designer?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes I could do that for a video..... Usually beginners use Canva or Photopea but I haven't tried those myself

[@simplelivingsimplyloving3080]

I use Canva combined with Inkscape :)

[@anawinter2546]

Thank you Juna. Where should I go to get good fonts?

[@DetourShirts]

MyFonts.com has a lot of really good ones..... I also mentioned YellowDesignStudio.com in a previous video... love their fonts

[@gquazi1]

Both graphics with text 90% of the time 15% just text 5% graphic

[@DetourShirts]

That sounds like me... thanks for sharing

[@badboybasti]

is there a possibility to get such tutorials for illustrator as well ?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't own Illustrator at the moment... when I do, I will make tutorials

@@DetourShirts Thank you! I had it installed but not enabled. Also, I would like to sign up for MI using your link. Have you done any videos outlining the difference in the two plans? The jump from Newbie to Professional is big. I'm surprised they don't have a mid-level.

[@DetourShirts]

I haven't.... that is a good idea for a video

[@tracybussey7187]

@@DetourShirts two more questions please 🙄 What is the best distance from the top of the artboard to the top of the design so it is positioned correctly on the shirt? I'm using AI to design and although I have my artboard size correct (4500x5400) the png files is always too large when I export. 🤔 I then have to bring it into PS to reduce the image size. Is it the same for AD? Am I missing a step in AI. Thank you so much for your time!

[@gairukasulakshana1702]

Thank you Great tips 😃❤ im new redbubble If I put the same design, the copyright may fall please tell me 🤔

Hello. Can this be done on Canva as well?

Probably? I've never used Canva though

[@jackblessee8479]

Hey Juna, Any advantage to using the erase function over the subtract function for the outline portion?

[@DetourShirts]

Yes.... when you subtract you will will have to change the font to an object and the font will be gone... when you use the erase everything is still there and you can edit it for the next design.
