In this video I wanted to show you how I would design a t-shirt using
elements from Creative Fabrica. Last video I showed you CF spark this one
right here. This video I showed you how to use the AI system. There this time I'm
going to build a t-shirt using fonts and Graphics from Creative Fabrica. Let's go!!
Hey
everyone, it's Juna with Detour Shirts. In this video I'm going to talk about Creative Fabrica
the last time I talked about Creative Fabrica was CF spark and in the comments a lot of you
said that you've used Creative Fabrica and you'd like to see a video about how to use some of the
other things. So in this video I'm going to show you how to use fonts and graphics from Creative
Fabrica. I'm going to show you a little bit about the license how they use that and then bring all
of this into Affinity designer now you could use other applications if you don't have Affinity
designer you could use Photo P or illustrator or photoshop whichever you prefer I'm going to do
it in Affinity designer this time let me know in the comments if there's another app that you want
me to do in a different video so I'm going to go to creative Fabrica first download these assets
and then bring them into Affinity designer and we're going to put together a t-shirt
okay so first here we are on Creative Fabrica creativefabrica.com so you can see CF spark the
one we talked about last time is one of the top four things that they showcase here the other
other three are fonts graphics and downloads free downloads and I kind of mentioned that
one already so I wanted to show you about fonts you can see they have a hundred and thirty one
thousand fonts so lots of fonts here and then over 6 million Graphics so you can find a lot
of things on here and you can sign up for free you can try this out for free and when you do
um if you do like it it is only 4.99 a month or a total I think you have to sign up for the
year which is a huge savings because if we go I'm already signed in here so I can't see the
plans but I'm going to go here and Incognito you can see the normal plan is 29 a month so you're
saving doing a lot of savings so try it out for free see if you like it if you do like it
you can click I'll have a link in the description to get you this price right here I also wanted to
show you this that you may not have known about and that is is print on demand usage so there's
going to be two different usages on print on demand I'm going to show you the first one is
print basic print on demand and that is basically saying you can't just download this and and use
that as Itself by itself for print on demand you kind of have to change it you see how this one's
changing the color it added other things in the background and so on so you can't use it just how
it is you got to use it just kind of like canva you're going to have to mix things around and use
it together so you can read this right here this is just on the subscription license page there's
also a full print on demand pod usage and it says you can create and upload designs to pod sites
that are the same or similar to the original so a little bit different than this one this one has
to be very unique this one can be closer to the same so when we see these full print on demand
or basic print on demand and that's what those things mean all right so let's get into the fonts
and Graphics so first things first let's just hit fonts here and find a good font you can see they
have some really cool ones that they're showcasing here this one's really cool this black letter I
love these but I'm gonna pick one down here I want to do something for retro those retro 70
and they have a lot of like look at that vintage retro magic uh retro here magic flower I'm going
to use this magic flower I could use any one of these retro ones but I'm going to go here
now you can see because I signed up for the free trial this download is free so I'm here now on
the Incognito site and it is five dollars so if I didn't sign up for the free trial I would pay
five dollars for this font right so I'm getting it now for free because I did the the free um trial
here so keep that in mind five dollars for this font so I'm gonna download it first so you can
see right here commercial usage allowed so I can use it on my print on the Mad stuff commercially
and then it's going to download to my downloads folder we'll see that later there's also a bonus
files here which is interesting so I'm gonna why not download that too all right and then let's go
to Graphics so I need something that's retro that I can use for it um this is kind of cool let's see
we could do some kind of Summer thing there's some retro things in here I could do red white and blue
I'm going to show you how much this one would be if I didn't sign up for free let's go to graphics
and go here and you can see this one even at 70 off it's 720 so five dollars plus 720 is what
I would have paid and you can you don't have to sign up you could just pay those kinds of prices
without signing up to so but you can see it's a great deal if you do sign up so uh and I'm gonna
download this one and you can see right here this is what I'm talking about commercial and full pod
usage allowed so that means I can keep it the way it is here or make just slight changes and
I'll be okay for print on demand I still like even though they say you can use it like this I still
like making a change because everybody can do it this way and I don't want to copy anybody and so
I'm going to take some of these and I'm going to change it up and my hope is nobody else will
have the same kind of thing that I do because I'm going to mix the font that we downloaded
plus these graphics and make something original all right so now that those are in my downloads
folder I'm going to show you how to open it up in Affinity designer and then we're going to
mix and match some of the these things and make a t-shirt design all right so here I am this is my
downloads folder you can see right here I wanted to show you what it looks like it comes in in a
zip file and we're just going to double click on it and open it up you see that I got that
one I'm going to double click on this one double click on this one and so this is a SVG this one
has a folder of this is the font the OTC font and OTC font and this is a folder with all the
pngs and just a lot of stuff in there okay so I'm gonna try and double click on this for the font
and you can see it opened up right away in my font book and I'm gonna just install
and I can do the same thing for the other one so let's go back and do this italic version double
click it's going to open up again and I'm going to install good okay so now that I have those
installed I'm going to come in here and drag in some other thing I I have Affinity Designer 2
open here I have my artboard at 4500 by 5400 and I'm going to start dragging in some things from
those download files here and then we're going to put everything together all right so here I am on
Affinity designer you can see I have my board here and then I brought in everything that I
downloaded so I'm going to show you uh the first one had all of these they're PNG files but they're
two of the same thing so one has a distressed you can see this one has distressed and another one's
not distress and they're PNG files which means I can't manipulate this it's one big thing I can't
go in here and kind of take that out or take that out it's kind of like a Photoshop file a
raster file so I can't go and change anything on here I have to kind of use it as is but luckily
in Affinity designer one thing I could do is is use the this crop tool here so if I click on crop
and I just wanted to use that I could do that so I'm going to do some of that in this in this video
here okay uh and so you can see there's a bunch of them so I'm going to back out here so you can
see I got all of these right and this is the one that said you can use it as is but I don't want
to do that I'm going to kind of take pieces from here and do it so the other one came in as a SVG
now the difference between SVG and PNG is I can go in here and actually click on here this is the
actual this is the extra files that I got with the font right so you can see it's the same font that
we're using here and I'm going to double click on it and double click on it and double click on it
you can see it is a vector file so I can come in here and I can change the colors if I want
um I could do you know move things around I can move points if I want and things like that so I
can take this flower and kind of separate it from the rest of it and use those elements
so really cool difference between SVG and PNG right so first things first let's do
type in a word and we're going to use that font so I'm going to click on my type tool
here and click on here I already have it it's called Magic flower and I'm going to do groovy
and then I'm going to save that as its own thing I'm going to hold down option and drag this down
and I'm just going to do summer now groovy summer is not a trending topic right now but it could be
um depending on how many of you make it here and if you like it I'm gonna make groovy a
little smaller here so that I can put something here and then I'm going to grab all of these
and then I'm going to use something that I showed before and this is in Affinity designer
too and you go to layer warp group and we're just going to mesh it okay and so we're gonna
push one down like this push one up like this and we're gonna do the same on this one so up
down and we can move some of these here too so move make that groovy um put this here pull that
up and so on we're just giving it's a little bit extra so it's not just flat I want to kind of have
it be more groovy right so I'm going to move these lines here and so on so once I've got it the way I
want it I can come in here and color it so we're going to color that a little later because I'm
going to color it the same color as some of those other things so we want a tall rectangle right so
let's use one of these things I could use any one of these I'm just going to use this one right here
this isn't the non-distress version and I'm going to come in here I'm going to hold down option and
drag it so this is a copy of that one right there and then I'm just going to use my crop tool click
on that and I'm going to bring it up to about there I may have some of these cut off but that's
okay it's going to be in back of these right here and I can make this just a little bit bigger you
don't want to make it too much bigger because again it's a PNG and so it's going to start
pixelating if we get too much bigger well you can see I scroll in it's still pretty good right it's
not pixelating right now if I go in closer you can see it's still not pixelating I have to go
like super close before it gets pixelated so I think this is really fine and now I'm going to
color this the same colors as these just so I can use a red white and blue okay so I'm just going to
move that heart you see I want it to be covered right there so I could put it either be behind
the o or behind the V I'm going to do behind the O there and I'm going to move it to the back boom
and then I'm going to color these so this one maybe I'll do that blue right here
click it and then maybe this summer I'll do the red here
click one thing I notice is they have outlines here so I'm going to do the same thing with the
outline I'm going to do the same color as that so I'm going to come in here and click that color you
see that boom and then of course I'm gonna have to make it a little thicker so let's do like six
yeah that looks good I'm gonna do the same thing for summer
that gray and then six
okay and I kind of like that drop shadow that we had here with that black so one thing else I'm
gonna do is double click on it when I have summer here I'm going to hold down option and drag this
and then come back here to color and color the inside that gray but then move it to the
back right same thing here on groovy let's do the same thing holding down option dragging it
behind color the gray move it to the back hey that's looking good okay so we still need it
to be a taller rectangle so I need something below here and above there and maybe fill in
some of these spaces so let's go back to here I kind of like how this is there I got one here
so let's use the one that's not distressed here and could probably use this star too that would
be really cool so I'm gonna option drag see that there's both of them and I'm gonna do the crop
tool and just crop out the star here think that'll be great I'll put the star right there and let's
do this ball I'm going to do the crop tool again and just crop out the ball you see how easy that
is with an affinity designer you can just crop it up like that and I'm gonna put that right there
all right I want to move this down just a little bit to kind of be in the same spot as that and I
think this matches because it has the fireworks and the fireworks it's great um let's move let's
do something above here I kind of like these right here and I think that could work so I'm gonna just
grab this I'm gonna double click double click and you can see this is SVG so I can move it here I
can also change it so if I just want two of them I just do that and delete see that and if I want to
change the color I can click on that and use that same gray that we had before and make it as big
as I want maybe stretching it out across the top like that and I can move this in the back as well
by going here boom I'm going to drag this option uh drag and put it down here now I like that maybe
I'm going to flip this so come in here and flip this one look at that there you go groovy summer
I think it works great I'm going to make this a little smaller so I can see the Y and there you
go and I could flip this too if I wanted to flip that I think that would be great because the stars
are on this side now before I save it I still want to fill in this space here so I'm going to try and
fill it with one of these I'm going to use uh this guy right here this happy flower bring it over
a little bigger it's a little bit of different style but it still kind of
works I'm gonna color it though instead of light blue you can see this has light
blue I'm gonna do this red here maybe this one right and I can do it for all of them
and the face is white so I'm gonna change that to to be kind of the off-white there you go I
filled the space I think it's time to export this I'm going to click on artboard I'm going to go to
file export what you want to do here is you see selection area it has a white background you want
it to be selection only so that there's uh not a white background and then once you see that
hit export and now we're going to title it I'm going to title it groovy summer and hit save so
we're going to take that PNG file and I'll show you what it looks like in Amazon merch on demand
so last step I'm here Amazon merch on demand I drag that PNG that we did that transparent PNG
and you can see it looks great on t-shirts and a lot of different colors I think it looks great on
this blue we got this gray white of course looks great red maybe I don't know I'm gonna turn that
off light gray pink yeah I think pink would work so any of the light colors now you could go back
again and try this see if it works on dark colors on Affinity designer but because this is a PNG I
didn't want to play around with it but if you did some SVG files when you download it from creative
Fabrica again there's tons of SVG ones there too you could you could probably change these colors
to different colors right that works better but this had a black outline on it on a PNG so
I decided to just leave it for a light t-shirt so have fun with this I think you can do so much more
this is just one example of thousands of fonts and literally millions of Graphics right that
we saw in there so I think this would be great uh you can see it didn't take me too long and I can
do lots of other designs not just this one from just the one that I downloaded and you saw all
those different files the svgs and the pngs and my font that I hid here a great font for vintage uh
designs here so pretty cool so that is it for this video hopefully that was really helpful so you can
see how to use the fonts how to use the graphics on Creative fabric of just tons of them on there
again if you want to try it out there's a free trial but I also have a link in the description
it is an affiliate link but it will get you that price that really good yearly price which is about
4.99 a month and you can see some of those things cost more than both of those things cost more than
4.99 so I think it's a really good deal thanks again for watching and if you want to see that
CF spark video that I made for for Creative fabric of the creative fabric okay AI click
on this video right here you can watch all about it it's another part of creative Fabrica that's
really cool so as always guys keep creating and keep learning I'll see you on the next one bye
