It's my first week using Kittl and I want to show you a design that I created for father's day
just using this app and all the different things that i've learned
how to use. I'm going to share it with you in this video right now. 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 I wanted to show you a design that I created using the
app called Kittl. Recently I did a video with Drew from Kittl. You can see the video right
here. I'll put a link right here and it is a long video but it is very thorough he goes and tells
you everything you can do and Kittl there's a lot to do lots of different designs lots of different
tips and tricks if you haven't seen that video it is well worth the watch i'm gonna show you what
i learned i'm gonna go into Kittl in this video and show you some of the things that i've learned
the first week of using it i'm going to show you some tips and tricks that i found that i think are
fun and show you some fonts that i'm using and things like that so let's get into Kittl right
now and i'll share everything that i learned in this video so here i am in Kittl. Kittl.com you
can see k-i-t-t-l it's still in beta but there's so much you can do on here and in drew's video
we went in here and we just clicked on these and you can use any one of these for t-shirts logos
labels any one of these and you can see there's a ton of stuff that you can use here
i'm going to show you another way that you can do it so i'm going to start a new project right here
and this will just start you from scratch don't be afraid of starting from scratch
the blank canvas here and you're gonna be able to change this so the settings
it's by standard it's 1200 by 1200 i'm going to change it to be 4500 by 5400 there we go
so that's the merch by amazon size and now we can close this and we can use some of these things
over here so you can go into my projects and i'm going to show you how i did this one right here
bank of dad i've done a few already these are the ones that i've been working on so those
stay in there you can also look at these things right here designs if you bookmark anything
let's say you like something there's a little bookmark that you can do and it will save it right
here so as you go through all of those projects on the front page you know the t-shirts and the
logos scroll through those and if you want to save something for later hit the bookmark it looks like
this and you can see all your bookmarks here right away that's pretty cool uh the next thing is all
of these things you got all ornate eat drink badge you can work on any one of these as well
as the ones that in the front so these are some of the same things but they're kind of
grouped differently we'll come back to these i'm going to work on a badge first text is right here
a lot of text designs right here i love these right here where it's just text these work really
well um black on white or white on black you can just reverse all of them but look at this this is
really cool already next thing here is the elements and ornaments and textures
so let's go and do a new one i'm going to start a new one by just going here and hitting badge
and let's see this one right here you can use any one of these any one of these as a starting point
lots of really cool badges i love badges because it kind of fits the right shape anyway
especially if you go either circle or tall pads like these right here these tall ones some really
cool vintage stuff so let's just use this one right here uh we'll replace the new project
and look at that this is really cool already i'm gonna change some of these things so first let's
take a look at this monogram font um i don't know what it's called this typeface but you can see
you just have two letters you can mash two letters together so if we do bank of dad all we have to
do is b and d hit those in order and you'll see what happens so i go bank of dad bd so whether you
do bd or db it kind of um does it for you um it already knows those two letter combinations will
make this in the best way so that's what i'm gonna do and then this font has four different series so
you can see this serif right here kind of ornate serif if you click here this is two kind of a
angled serif serif number three just a indent i like that one the best i think and then serif one
just really um straight almost straight like that so i'm gonna pick three which is my favorite right
there and i'll just put this here the next thing i'm gonna do is change this font now i found
that found a font that i really like i found a couple of them i'm going to use them here and
i'll show you why i like this font so i'm going to do this and i'm going to put the bank of dad
cool and we're going to change this font to be one that i like and it is called brook let me see what
brookfield and i'll show you why i like this watch this it's all caps that's not the only reason why
it has a variable width setting now what does that mean it means this watch this you can
make it thicker or thin condensed or wide just right on here isn't that cool so i'm gonna make
this a little wider like this and then you know make you can increase the font as well
and if you don't want it that close i'm gonna just pull it back just a little bit so it's
kind of in the center and you can adjust the kerning too so if you double click here right
here av letter spacing and watch what happens when i make this bigger you'll see the space
get bigger right there so the space in between the letters and you can pull it back too so isn't
that fun so there's a few fonts that do that this one i know for sure you might have to go through
a bunch of them to find it i found another one so let's do this one i'm going to say open 24 7
24 hours let's say that open 24 hours
and then i'm going to change this font to be
this one black driver so it looks like that it's condensed but again variable width right here
check this out you can just make it wider to make it fit isn't that cool i love these fonts that do
that because especially when you're on a circle um a lot of times you don't know what size to make
it and it's nice that you can make it wider or smaller so bank of dad open 24 hours you got the b
and d here let's take out some of these things i'm going to just take this out and take this out
the next thing i want to show you is maybe some elements so let's go down here i love these
uh which one is it ornaments and then let's do these wreaths so i'm going to show all wreaths
and i'm going to put a wreath right in here
i'm gonna use this wreath right here and let's just make it fill the space
inside
yeah like that and now we can take the monogram one and just make it fit you know
and then put it maybe put it in front right click and then do forward or to front there you go
now that looks good and we can also use our left and right arrow keys to move things right on here
that works so let's do uh shapes shapes you can click on basic shapes i want to look for a star
and of course there's lots of different shapes here let's just do star that one and
bring it down like that
last thing i'm going to put in here i'm going to look for illustration
uh you can type in the search so because it's bank of that i'm going to do money
and let's look for a bag of money right there
good now that we have everything in place whoops let's make this smaller
there i'm good with that now that we have everything in place let's start to use some color
so you can see there's a lot of color in here and it kind of doesn't match because they're all
different colors so let's pick colors now so let's click on this one let's do this uh more of like a
gold color so let's do like a gold like that maybe orange you know something like that so now that
we have that color here we can use that as a color next time i want to do this as like a dark blue so
maybe like that yeah okay so let's change everything to either white or
this color and then we'll see what happens so i'm going to change this to white
i'm going to change this to white this is one way to just get rid of all the colors that you have on
your thing so you can start from scratch i'm going to change that to white good and let's see what
else can we change the white i think that's it oh this let's change the monogram to white as well
good i still think it needs to be smaller and we can do that there and let's see what other colors
we have in here wow we still got a lot of colors um oh our background color let's change that to
be white just so we know that that oh this one's not white there we go and this one let's
change it to that color and this to that color just trying to get rid of some of these colors
use that
see that
all right so we basically have three colors so the next thing i'm gonna do is put a background
color just so it stands out so let's do some like a dark red like that there that's looking good
and i'm going to change some of this i'm going to play around with the effects here so let's do some
of these things maybe not so not so offset maybe like that and let's play with this this is fun if
we make another color like a lighter color you can see the difference here that's fun right and then
we can do this one as well let's do this like that with the with that lighter color that we just used
so something like that or there maybe that's good all right and then
maybe not so offset there we go that's looking fun all right and for the last thing uh you could
use this on a shirt if you wanted to so if you took out the background color you know like that
you could put that on black or whatever you want um but let's let's just leave it just so we can
have some fun with the texture so last thing we're going to do is add some textures to have some fun
here's the textures right here i think these will look pretty cool let's try this look at that isn't
that fun let's show all of these textures now of course you can't use these textures on the
t-shirt this is just for print but i would make this bigger and you can see it kind of
has this going through i think there is an opacity thing that's going on here let's check this out
object color opacity no it's a 100 oh it's because it's overlay on the top so if we looked at the
layers this would probably be over the top and it's doing the color burn so that's why it's
burning through the top and you won't see it too much on the dark ones because if you burn on black
you won't see it or white but on the other colors you can see it a lot better so if i change this
color you know to like a lighter color you'll see it coming through so that's kind of cool yeah
that's fun all right so there you go bank of dad you may if you need to change these um
make them bigger maybe maybe a little bigger
there you go kind of cool so have fun with this you can add a lot more stuff to it you know maybe
make a some swords come through here are there any swords let me see i just thought of this
go illustration swords
oh fun
see
put this in the back that's kind of neat
i don't know if that matches but you get the idea you can put stuff in the back or whatever um might
not might not work but you can see that these axes right here or other stuff that'd be fun so have
fun with this this is bank of dad you see that i can uh i just wanted to show you the variable type
brookfield has it uh black driver black river has it this variable you'll see it here if it
doesn't have it it will just not say variable it would say regular i think so look through all the
different fonts and play with that and this font right here this monogram one i'll just type in two
letters again if i wanted to do like sd it does it if you wanted to do dd it does it right or ds
it just takes the two letters that you do and and just does it so
so we're gonna do bank of dad which is bd right there so have fun with this uh this would be great
i think this would be really cool on a hat if you did this just these two like on a hat like right
here i was thinking of ds for detour shirts might be really cool especially with this the
the wreath thing perfect so i'll put this on my profile so when you go to my profile here
and look at the here i'll put my profile in in the links below in the description and when you
go here you can already see these but i'll add the bank of dad here so you can use it and play around
with it and have fun with it so that's it for this tutorial let me know what else you want to know
