In this video I'm going to show you examples of cover images on stores
that I like on Redbubble. I'm also going to show you how to make your
own cover images in Canva and Affinity designer. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing
and selling T-shirts online since 2005 and in this video I want to teach you how to make cover images
for your Redbubble shop. So if you're on Redbubble you've probably seen these on stores as the top
part of your store and this is where I think you can add a lot of elements about your products that
you're selling below I'm going to show you in this video some of the cover images that I like
from different stores and how to make these ones I'm going to show you how to make the ones that I
found really easily in canva so you can do it on free for canva or if you have Affinity designer
you can do it there too I'll show you both ways pretty simple to do the hardest part is to get
the image size right and I'm going to show you where to find that and where to change your cover
images on Redbubble so let's go to Redbubble first and then go to canva so here we are on Redbubble
redbubble.com I'm on my Explorer our page yours may look different depending on what you looked at
or what you like I'm going to show you some of my favorite shop banners or my favorite cover images
on their shop and here's illustrata so you can see they have their nice artwork on here but if
you look at it it's just three of their artworks you can see this one this one and this one right
if you look at edu Ellie I had both of these on my interview if you want to check out their
videos but edu Ellie also three of his designs right really big the difference here in edu's one
is he actually put his logo in in the middle one here and kind of made it darker in the background
the next shop that I want to show you here is Laurel you can see this one is four designs so
you can see the kind of the theme Here is we're just taking the designs that you have and just
putting it in the shop banner and here's another one Vincent Trinidad one two three four you could
do that as well this one is using six one two three four five six and then with a banner on the
bottom instead of a logo kind of what the name of the shop is it's really smart to do that but you
can see this fits really nicely here is another version you could take uh your t-shirt designs
your mock-up designs that are on playset and then put it here so all of these are from playset they
put the design here and then they just put it on their Banner right and then lastly I think this
one is really cool if you sell a lot of stickers I would say do this like this put your name in the
middle here whatever way you want to do it and then you know kind of create a collage of your
stickers just all around you can see it can kind of break the Border here it doesn't have to be
right to the edge so use that I think that would be really cool if you have a sticker shop or have
designs like this where there's no border and stuff I think this is really cool so those are
the kinds of designs that I'm going to show you how to make in canva and in Affinity designer
but first let me show you where you put them and how to find the size so let's go back to
Redbubble here I'm going to go to my dashboard and then after your dashboard go here to edit profile
and then this is the cover image now you can choose your avatar whatever that is I can show
you how to make that later but today cover image and we're gonna do uh 2400 pixels by
600 pixels okay so that's very important write that down and we're going to go into canva and
make a design that size so here we are on canva let's do canva first canva.com right here let's
create a design so first we do this custom size we're going to do 2400 by 600 that's the cover
image size for Redbubble right so click on here if you don't have it as recent I did a recent one you
can just type in here 2400 by 600 boom create it so you can see right away two things happen
you have the right size right here and for the templates you can see there they are suggesting
a whole bunch of templates so if you don't know what to do and you want something really quick
you're just starting off and you have no designs at all in your shop come here make this design
and then you know you can pick something like this and just just change it let's say it's the
um the fun shop or whatever your name of your shop is right you can change it or if you don't
like this one come over here and maybe it's this one instead replace current image look
at that there's just so many here this one's really cool I think this like if you don't
know what you're going to design yet this is still really nice and you can do you know your name here
um whatever your shop name is here and then what you sell below it so right here you can say custom
stickers if you do stickers or whatever it is right and t-shirts let's see hand shirts
or whatever you want to call it and you can change the color on some of these things too
so if you don't like this color background come in here just like canva and you know change it to
something else right just really fun and and then this this doesn't work on a light color of course
you can change the text to something like look at that really cool right so again like if you don't
want it there's a ton of them just right here look at that that is so cool right so if you're
first starting out Redbubble come over here real easy and then you can just download these now let
me show you how to add your artwork so let's say you're on here and you want to do something like
you saw before like I was showing you some of them where it's like there's three of them or
four of them or six of them now you can come in here just start from blank and maybe maybe you
want a dark background black and then come into your uploads now I uploaded a bunch of my things
here I'm doing like a shirt Tober if you follow me on on the social medias you know that I'm doing
t-shirts and these are some of the ones that I've done here and it's real easy you just hit upload
file and upload that PNG file that you're going to use for design that's all this is these are
the PNG files that you're going to use for putting it on Redbubble or merch by Amazon or whatever and
then we can just grab this click on it and you can see it's perfect on here and you can scale
it now if you want a certain background on here that let's say you want this one in blue come in
here to elements and use mines and shapes and just pick this Square and let's say we want this here
boom boom like that and put it in the back so right click and send it back and there you go
so I'm going to show you how a little trick on how you can make this you know three wide or four wide
or whatever it is so let's click the background again hold down option and drag it so you can
see it's right here let's butt it up against here make this a different color so that you can see it
and then so that's too wide so if you wanted too wide well none of them were too wide I think one
of them was three so let's do another one here option click drag change the color you know
maybe this one's black or well we can't see that let's do this color and now just grab all three
and then you can see this is three equally spaced right now you don't don't have to worry if this
goes over you can always come in here click on this and then size it down if you want to
but this is three now if you wanted four you would come in here you know grab all of them again
and then kind of shrink it down but put another one here
you know four and maybe change this back to a blue or something
you know and now it's four and now you can make these taller so let's come
in here and then now you know they're evenly spaced for evenly spaced right
and now you can put in whatever ones you want so let me put in some of the other ones
on here I'll go back to my uploads let's say I want this one here you know and then maybe
uh this game day one I like whatever it is maybe that's here and then uh distracted by cats here
right and the nice thing about doing it in canva and having the background is you can change the
color of these so let's say we want this one with a black background and maybe this one
um with a I don't know let's try a different color you know like that or a gray or this one you know
you can play around with it right and so there you go and then you just export this whatever you
come up with you can export it here go to share and hit download and now you can see it's 2400
by 600 and then you don't need the transparent background so you can do this for free and just
hit it hit download and when you download you can upload this back onto Redbubble right there
on that page now the way to do the freestyle one is of course let's let's do this again
let's say we had the sticker one that we wanted to do we'll go back to templates look for one
that has a name in the middle here you know maybe like this and then you can take out these things
change your name your shop name here and then just go back to uploads and if you have your stickers
in here maybe maybe it's like this where your stickers you know and put them and you can turn
them and things like that so let's say this is another sticker you could come in here and turn it
things like that right and this will be really cool imagine these are different stickers and
you just kind of put it here and there right so that's also a nice tip to do for your design for
your shop so lots of different ways to do this on canva you got a lot of different templates as well
play around with these I mean some of these have some really cool graphics on them so let's just do
this like you know some cool stuff like that or if you want to put pictures maybe this is where you
put your playset pictures and things like that so and some really cool watercolor stuff so if you're
drawing into watercolor but you haven't done anything yet you got this here and you can try
them out try out different ones and of course you can add pages here to kind of see do I like this
one better or this one better right so that's how you do it on canva real easy let me show you how
to do it in Affinity designer if you have Affinity designer I'll I'll go there now so here we are in
Affinity designer I started a new document here now you're going to have to change this layout
to 2400 by 600 pixels so I have it already here it doesn't have to be 300 DPI but it can be it
doesn't matter um probably just leave it if if you have it already there and then hit create
and then we're going to see this size right here I'm going to scroll up so you can see it so you
can see it's 2400 by 600 pixels if you're on the transform palette right there and then I'm
going to use the rectangle tool here and then I'm gonna make my rectangle 600 by 600 we're going to
do a square here so double click on there 600 tab 600 tab click on your move tool and then we can
move this using these right here the alignment click on here make sure that it's left aligned
and then centered you can see it fits right there and then we can color these so you know make it a
orange colored we don't need a stroke here and what we're going to do is we're going to make
four of them so option hold drag and we can do this again boom Center make this Center
and then just butt it up against this one so let's do this a different color so you can see whoops
right here so you can see it hold down shift so it doesn't move boom and then this can be a different
color as well hold down shift so it doesn't move and there you go so we can put our four designs
here as well like we saw before we can also do some really cool stuff with I didn't show the
other time is we can make these eight by eight right so let's do this so instead of 600 it could
be 300 I should have took this in 300 have 300 tab and we can do this one top and bottom let's do
side and bottom so you can see those two there let's just move these so now we know these two
are right kind of a hold down option and shift and kind of butt it up right there and then we can use
J command J to kind of just put it all the way and it's not exactly right so let's move this one
up against here and then if it's not right what you can do is you can select all of these whoops
if it's not right you can select all of these
here and go to align and then align this one space horizontally same thing with this
and this is how I did my my version come here and space it out like that and then
change these to different colors right I'm just gonna select these real quick and then maybe
those are black or whatever I mean they can be any color you want it doesn't have to be black
and orange but that's appropriate for Halloween and then draw a draw drag in your designs here
so let's do one I I have some of these here Let's Make Pretend these are t-shirt designs
I have them you can come in here command V copy and then just put them in here right
like that right and I'm gonna I'm gonna just grab this whole thing copy
right and then we're gonna have to size this down
and then we can start putting these in here like that right just pretend that they're
they're the right size and of course you could size them and stuff like that
so another thing you could do is let's undo all of this I'm hitting uh command Z to undo
if you wanted just one color like this and put your name we saw that collage we can do
the same thing here right you know maybe a bunch of these like this and we'll come
back here command V and maybe did I size this right yeah so you can size it down like that
you know and if you have like a sticker one let's go back I think a bunch of them were down here
right and turn them just like that one that we saw with the stickers right and then you
can type in your name here right boom use the text tool to type in your shop name shop name
boom and then whatever else you want to put in here it can be a different form or whatever
so there that's how you do it just real simple if you want the boxes you can just use math to kind
of figure it out and then use this align tool to figure it out and you can have your designs bigger
or smaller it will work just as fine so next thing you would do here in Affinity designers
click on your artboard go to export right here and then export this as a PNG make sure it's the
2400 by 600 and then hit export and then that PNG will be brought into Redbubble and it can be your
cover art so hopefully it didn't go too fast for you guys here um if you want to see this in more
detail or one A different kind of shop Banner shop or cover image is what they call it let me know in
the comments uh if the if you see one that you really like and want to know how to do it I can
show you how to do it in Affinity designer or canva either one would work and you could also
do it in photopia if that's what you have it's just real easy to do the main thing is to make
sure to get it at that right size and then put all your stuff in there and have fun with this so
that is it for this video hopefully this video is really helpful for you and now you can make your
own shop banners or cover images for Redbubble if you haven't had one already if you want to redo
yours this is a real easy way to do it uh if this video is really helpful for you make sure to give
