- Hey, check this out.
(hoodie throwing) (dinging sound)
(dinging sound)
Ah.
(hoodie throwing) (dinging sound)
(John grunting)
Yeah. Okay.
You're still here.
Hello.
If you wanna learn how to design hoodies
in less time than it took me to put these on,
stick around and I'll show you how.
Can I take this off now?
Woo.
That's better.
All right, let's do this thing.
(hoodies falling)
(lively music)
Hello, I'm John from the Brand Creative Team at Canva.
In today's tutorial, I'm gonna show you
how to design a hoodie or sweatshirt
for any age or occasion.
If you're looking to create a uniform, team sweater
or one-off outfit, stick around because we'll cover the lot.
But before we do, hit that Subscribe button,
so you don't miss out on great videos like this one.
All right, let's get started by jumping into Canva.
Start by going to the homepage and click on print products.
These are all the items Canva can print
and deliver to your door.
Scroll down until you see clothing.
Then select hoodie or sweatshirt.
This will open up a blank canvas
to create whatever you like.
Let's pretend I want to create a hoodie
for everyone attending a buck's celebration.
Perhaps it could be a camping trip.
To add an image to the back,
I'll search over here in the elements panel.
I'll type camping.
Then filter the search so I only see graphics.
If you don't have a Pro or Canva for Teams account,
you may want to apply the free filter as well.
This bear looks great, and a deer as well.
I'll pop them side by side.
I can resize them by dragging the corner like this.
Next, I'll some stars to the design.
I can duplicate the star by clicking this icon
or using copy and paste on the keyboard.
Now that's done, I'll move on to the front.
I'll click over here to generate a text box.
Let's call it Aidan's Buck's Trip.
And finally, I'll play around with the position and font.
I'll go with something bold
so it's not too difficult to see.
(lively music)
Nice, loving it.
Oh, speaking of which, while you're designing,
it's important to consider the fabric color you want to use.
If you plan to print on navy blue or black,
try to use light colors to create contrast
and avoid using colors that are too similar to the base.
You don't want your design getting so lost
that everyone thinks you're wearing a plain hoodie instead
of a one-of-a-kind custom design.
Now, that will be silly.
For this design, I'd like to print on black
so I'll make the text cream.
If you're working with light colors,
you may want to add a dark background for the time being
just so you can see what you're doing.
Once you're ready to check out
how it'd looked printed, head over here.
It's currently set to print on both sides
but you can change it if you only want front or back
and you can select the color you want here.
All right, let's check this out in full screen.
That looks double nice.
To get it printed,
I'll scroll back down to the bottom
and select the size I want.
Let's say I want 10 small and 10 large.
I'll pop that in here.
Then add another hoodie.
Once that's done, I can hit continue
and add my payment details.
It's that easy, and it should land
on my doorstep in under seven days.
Next, I wanna show you how quick it is
to whip up a work uniform using a similar layout.
Only this time, I want the text to be attention grabbing
since it's for a business.
Let's say it's for a plumber
and they don't have a ready-made logo.
I'll start by adding the text.
Then selecting a font that's easy to read.
(lively music)
Although it stands out, eh, it's a bit boring,
so I'm going to use a little trick to break things up.
First, I need to separate the text
into two lines and make sure they align.
Now I want to add a background to this second line.
I can do this by hitting Effects, then Background.
I'll adjust the roundness of the corners here.
Since the font is angular, a square shape is best.
And finally, I'll change the text to black.
Would you look at that?
Much, much better.
Now I can duplicate this page and start working on the back.
I'll resize the logo so you can't miss it.
Then add some funky graphics above to give it some color.
(lively music)
Hmm, I wonder
if you'll be able to see the charcoal bits
when it's printed on black.
Let's have a look.
I think they'll be fine.
Or I could change it like this
so there's more of a variation.
Okay, now that's a vibe.
It might take a few goes to get your design just right
but it'll be totally worth it.
Just remember, the preview tool is great
for figuring out placement as well.
Now that you know how to get started,
I wanna speed things up just a little
and share some different styles with you.
Check out this one I created for music fans.
I uploaded the logo over here
and included some script font to tie in with the name.
I was able to match the color
of the text with the logo by clicking up here.
See how they're listed as document colors?
That automatically happens whenever you add a photo
or image to the page.
Let me preview this so you can see the end result.
All right, so we've covered off uniforms, group outfits
and band merch, but what about everyday wear?
We haven't actually looked at anything suitable
for the younger generation yet, so let's do that now.
Ah, I've got a little niece who looks so cute
in one of these.
She's four months old and with winter around the corner,
I'm definitely getting this for her soon.
How sweet is this repetitive design?
First, I added all the elements I wanted to include.
Then grouped them together and created three copies.
I moved them around to sit side by side, and voila,
I've made a repeated pattern.
To get this printed for a toddler,
I'll just need to change the print options up here.
When it comes to selecting a size,
I'd recommend checking out the sizing chart
by clicking here.
That way there'll be no surprises, at least none
of the bad kind anyway.
Did you know Canva Print has a happiness guarantee?
It means you really have nothing to worry about
once you place your order.
That is until the sweater arrives
and you've got your eldest child begging for one as well.
If you're designing for a teen or tween,
here are some ideas that are likely to keep them satisfied.
For this design,
I incorporated a photo and added a visual effect
To add filters or edit any photo,
just go to edit photo,
then select from any of the options over here.
This is the one I used to get the motion effect.
Then I simply added some text to the outside.
(lively music)
I chose this statement
from a bunch of quotes I found online.
I'm thinking it's the sort of thing a teen girl might take.
Then again, I have no idea.
If you've got a teen,
let me know what you think in the comments.
Would your child love or loathe wearing something like this?
Be honest, I can take it.
All right, here's the final design I've created
using a template.
I made it for a teen
but I'd say it's suitable before any age.
Before we finish up, I'll quickly show you
how to color individual letters like this.
Instead of creating a new text box for each,
simply highlight the letters one by one
and select a different color.
Have a play to figure out what works well together
(lively music)
or use the playground palette for inspiration.
Thanks, everyone.
That's all we have time for today
but I hope you've got all the inspiration
and know how you need to get cracking
on a hoodie design of your own.
(lively music)
Great. You're still here.
