A full time job, researching and creating designs then creating youtube videos and all the other social media mechanics that goes with it - that's a work ethic man, much respect. Also, the info on your channel is epic, I wish you the very best.

Hello Juna! First thanks for the video! Great as always. Second of all, I see you are very tired. Please take care of yourself. Don't put too much pressure on your shoulder with a lot of work. :). Health above all :)

Hey Juna! Thanks for the awesome videos that have helped me a lot to understand better the POD world. Since I have a 9 to 5 job as well, I usually work in the evening on POD. Keep up the great work! 😎

That is awesome! Yup... us 9-5 folks need to find a good time to work our side hustle... the evening is a good time too

[@alinaelena7534]

Thanks Juna. Great tutorial. I am trying to create after 6 PM ( I also have a job 9 to 5) but I think I will start doing this in the morning when my brain will be more functional :))

When I first saw these designs I figured this was the way to do but holy smokes time lol. I will add them to my list although its probably past peak for this year, they'll be nice designs for the future either way.

[@DetourShirts]

These are just fun designs.... it may or may not sell.... but yes, they do take a long time to do

[@SusyRohrscheib]

Awesome video as always, you make it look soo easy i’m going to have to try it out. Thanks for sharing and we have something in common. I also have a 9-5 job and also work in the mornings since that is when i’m most productive. Thanks for sharing. Pura Vida Amigo 😁

Hey Juna. What type of licence should i used on myfonts for commercial use?

[@DetourShirts]

I do desktop license... the other ones don't make sense for tshirt design

[@MonicaDehnert]

Thank you, how did you remove the sunset?

[@DetourShirts]

I didn't... it's still on the background... I just never used it.... I deleted the design from Creative Fabrica.... it was just a background image

[@barbosaleo]

Amazing

Thank you! Cheers!

[@healthnews9982]

for a person starting out what POD site would be good? Great content, love it!!!

[@DetourShirts]

Depends on your style... I would take a look at a bunch of them and figure out what kinds of things you want to sell and look at what styles they sell on the POD site and see if they match.

[@janine11112]

Juno, If you export the entire artboard instead of the Selection only, and resize it smaller will the print quality still be good?

[@DetourShirts]

Should not make much difference on the print quality

[@smirkthensmile6593]

What sort of keywords/description would you use on this dot type design? Thanks

[@DetourShirts]

Dot pattern, dot art, polka dot, dot dog, colorful dots, polka dot pattern, art, cool, fun, etc

[@ezoubirkaram]

@@DetourShirts Isn't polka Dot copyrighted ?

[@DetourShirts]

I don't think so but I could be wrong... I thought polka dot is just a style like stripes or zig zag.

I have a question it's unrelated to this video lately I got 2 visitors to my shop but google Analytics show that the session duration is 0:00 what does this means. Is it lik an accidental click or problem with my analytics

[@DetourShirts]

Hmmmm.. that is strange.... your guess is probably right

[@dawnnolan4891]

Do you have a video to tell us difference between Affinity Designer and Photopea and other apps? Differences/ Benefits/when to use ea of them/cost differences and your recommendations. Also it took alot of us 3 or 4 days to get our Dot Days approved....not sure why. Also why wouldn't you do a clipping mask? Thanks!

[@DetourShirts]

I don't use Photopea so I would have to explore those differences. I think International Dot Day may trigger further review because design could be from a popular book. The reason I didn't use a clipping mask is because the clipping mask would have cut the circles at the edge and I didn't want that look.

[@dawnnolan4891]

@@DetourShirts i am looking for a drawing pad and what I can use to draw vectors. I am drawing with my mouse and very difficult. I tried the Wacom and liked it ok but returned thinking I need an IPAD. I thought Photopea was what you used and it needed IPAD. I want to use your tutorials to do more freehand drawing.

[@BrandyJo98]

I am trying to do a shirt like this. I tried hiding the actual picture I was using to place the dots on and wanted to make that picture disappear so I can see what the dots look like and it hides the whole pic taking my dots away with the animal I am using making my page blank. How do I make the silhouette disappear but keep my dots on the page so I can see where I'm at. Do I need to do something first before adding the dots in? I tried to follow what you did but it's not working, haha. Thank you!

[@DetourShirts]

You need to do the dots on a different layer than the picture

Hello Juna greetings, what (medidas) measures should we use for the canvas of t-shirts etc., the output color must be CMYK? Thanks SM 😊

Hi, please could you do a video on how to pick the colour tshirt you WANT to show on Amazon. Cant find anywhere online. I've just had my first tshirt approved on Amazon merch and it's appearing on a dark grey but it pops more on the red and blue tshirt colours. I selected 10 colours. Thank you 😁

[@DetourShirts]

So you really can't choose what color shows up on amazon as the default tshirt color in searches... Amazon does that... it should pick the color that you sold the most of or what is the most popular color if you didn't sell any yet

[@katiemacleod5976]

@@DetourShirts hey, another question for you. I'm.tryimg to edit my tshirt and add a further colour (I only have 6 selected) and the colour selection option is greyed out and not selectable. Why is that? Thanks

[@DetourShirts]

Another thing I wish Amazon would change... once you pick your colors and save you can NOT change them... dumb I know.... but that's how they do it.

[@jakemorden8544]

I saw your post you said it trademark we can't work on this or I'm wrong

[@DetourShirts]

So I'm still getting mixed signals on this but to be safe don't use the International Dot Day as a tag or part of your title... the design is not trademarked so make as many dot designs as you want

[@jakemorden8544]

@@DetourShirts this I was confused cuz you said on Facebook group is trademark, and you asked if you should make a video tutorial on it after a couple hours I get a notification about it. Si we shouldn't use only tags that are trademarked. Thanks keep it up 👍👍👍👍

@@DetourShirts I did a couple of dot designs using a butterfly and frog and MBA let it go through. Took them a while like 3 days before processing them.

[@BeachGirlStudio]

You know there is a much easier way…just download a dot background …there a heaps online…and then use the floodfill option. It floods the silhouette with the dotted background. No having to make single dots.

[@DetourShirts]

I got to try that.... I never used a floodfill option on Affinity Designer?
