In this video I'm going to show you how to do another t-shirt design. I'm going to design
this one right here on Canva for free you can follow along and see how I do it. Let's go!!

don't forget to hit that subscribe button right there. So in this video I'm doing it again,
I'm going to show you how to do a t-shirt design and this time i'm going to be using Canva. I'm
going to use the free version of Canva. Of course there's the paid or pro version of Canva but this
one is going to be using all the free stuff. I'm going to show you step by step on how to do it
and you can learn how to do it on Canva. I'm going to show you different tips and tricks
that I learned on canva. I've been using it for a little bit now. I'm going to show you
how to do some arc text. I'm going to show you how to do lots of different things. So
in this video you're going to want to stay to the end to see how I do the whole thing
so that you can do something similar for yourself and hopefully get some sales when
selling t-shirts like this online. So let's get on the internet and go to Canva, canva.com right now.
All right so here i am on canva canva.com and you can see i'm using the free version totally free
you'll see there's some things i can't use because i'm not on the pro version but that's
okay we're going to try and do everything for free to show you that you don't need to buy
an app if you want to just get started and do some t-shirts you can start doing it right now
so first create a design right here i'm going to go down and do custom size and you can type
in the width and the height i've already done that 4500 by 5400 that's the merch by
amazon size and that works great for other pod sites like redbubble t public and all of those
so i'm just going to click that and you can see here i already have the artboard so the next thing
we're going to do i'm going to find some elements to put on here so i'm going to go to elements and
then i'm going to type in vintage sunset so let's just do that let's start with a vintage sunset
they actually have a bunch of them on canva a lot of them are pro you can see here pro pro pro
a lot of nice ones for pro actually so if you have the pro account you got some really good
vintage sunsets right here but i'm going to use the free one so this one right here
i don't like this color i'm going to see what else they recommend magic recommendations
this is really cool so if you pick something canva knows that there's some other things
you might like so i'm gonna check that out and see all so that one was the free one this colorful one
i kind of want a black background so let me do that first and click on the artboard click this
and then do black so you can see that kind of looks good on black but i want it more vintage
style instead of more this is kind of like unicorn color so let's go back here and see what i got um
very limited right you can see a lot of crowns here let's see scrolling down scrolling down
this one's kind of cool or this one um let's just do this one it's another one right here
all right so let's make it big enough i want it about that size right here okay so the next thing
i'm gonna do is find a silhouette to put on here if you watch my recent videos about what to design
in the winter time there's lots of winter sports right so i'm gonna do skiing because that's one
and just type in skiing here and graphics of course and take a look at all these graphics
a bunch of them are free some of them are pro i mean most of them are pro but i'm just gonna
do this first one right here and you can see it's already black and i'm just gonna
put it right there pretty cool right the next thing i'm going to do is i want to do some text
so let's do some rounded text so i'm going to go to text right here on the left hand side
hit text and the root the fastest way to do it is just hit add heading and then start typing so
um i'm gonna say i rather you can't see that so let's put it up here one of the cool things that
canva just added is adding color from a photo so you may not have noticed but this right here
this is a photo because when i hit edit image you can see they give me some photo edit stuff so
a lot of times when you click photo you don't have the colors on here if you click colors you only
have the black one i don't have the colors that are in the photo but now you can have the color
dropper in canvas so click here color picker right here so click on this and then click on any of
these colors right here and it's going to match it check that out pretty cool right so if i did this
again for this darker color you see it matches it so really easy to do i'm going to do one of these
lighter ones right here so i'm just going to type in all caps hit down your caps lock i'd rather
b oh i forgot the r i'd rather be and then you can stretch it out like that and then you may
not know this but you can have an effect on here so click on here effects you can do shadow lift
hollow any of these cool ones i might have to do a video of all of these showing you but curve
is the one we want to do curve right here and you can change the curve right here so check this out
i want it to be bigger than the circle so one way to do it is just to lift it above the circle like
that and then hit this until it's you can see it's equal around the circle so something
like that you're gonna have to eyeball it maybe center it like that so you see how that circle
is around the sunset vintage sunset circle that's what we want right there so that's how you do
rounded text or arc text in canva real easy i'm gonna pick a font that i really like one thing
you can do with fonts is to search different types of fonts so if you want to do like a um rough font
you can type in rough and look they have all these things that have some kind of rough
texture see that that's really cool so if you want that vintage texture you can do that
if you want something wide just type in wide and then now you have something wider right
if you want something inline you can type in inline and then you got some of these with the
the lines in the middle this oh that one's not free you have to pick one that's free not with
the crown so i jumped the gun there but you can see this one has a line in the middle this one
has lines one thing that i really like is this vintage font that i found the one i found that
i like is called monotone right here check this out look at that it's so vintage looking right
and let's let it go here and you can see it may need some space in between these two words so all
i have to do is add another space i'm gonna hit one there and one there and there cool
i'd rather be and i'm going to do skiing down here but before i do that i'm going to put some
trees in here just to add some extra texture so let's do trees i'm going back to elements
and type in trees and let's see what kind of i love these trees right here it's free
i'm going to put them right here and i'm going to make this black so let's go here and make it black
right there and i'm gonna copy this hold down option and drag and you can see i'm
just copying the same one and then i'm gonna look for some other trees so go back to graphics
um type in trees again and then this tree oh graphics of course and then this tree was free
so if i click these again it's going to do magic recommendations so let's do that and
you can see this single tree i like that one so i'm going to do that and get get these out of the
way and then just kind of do this i'm going to hold down option again put it down here
with the trees and just put trees all over the place and i can make these smaller right
so make this smaller like that and he's kind of jumping the trees
okay and let's just make these all black so i'm gonna select these and
go here and do black i should have done that before but let's just do each one
here that's looking nice just kind of give each of
them like a silhouette right and we can move things around here like this
you know all right and the next thing i'm going to do is add
rectangle so let's just go here and do rectangle
and what i want to do is kind of mask out the bottom here so
let's hit that rectangle make this black
and kind of just have it across like this
cool that's looking good and the last thing i'm going to do is do skiing at the bottom so let's go
back to text add the heading have my caps lock do skiing and then pick that
font that we did monotone right there and then just scrunch this like this and then grab the
corner and just make it bigger like that real easy right so let's just put this here
look at that i'd rather be skiing with some trees here now if you want to just move it around
cool right and we got the same color from here and this this is how it's going to look like
on black and we can download this and then we're going to delete this black area so that it's a png
on a black t-shirt so let me show you how to do that i'm just going to hit download right
here and you can see i can't do the transparent background on free but i'm going to show you how
to do it for free on a mac um if you have a pc you may have to do some other things but on a mac it's
really easy so let's do download so i opened up my download this i'd png right you can see
it's in i opened it up and preview on my mac and all i have to do is click on this and this right
here instant alpha and click down and drag until you see it kind of turn red here and everything's
red except for if i hit delete you can see some of these black ones right here now this isn't the
best font to use um to do this trick but we're gonna do it let's zoom in here you can scroll
so you wanna do these in between as well just do the same thing move move to the right here
and do the same thing for these like i said this isn't the best font but i i love this vintage look
so we can still knock it out let's see if there's anything else we need to knock out oh right here
it didn't quite capture these because they weren't connected so let's do this as well delete
delete delete delete now you don't have to be this picky but i want to be
let's see if there's anything else yes these right here all right let's
yeah that looks perfect so now i can just take this png it's the right size for amazon and
for redbubble nt public and whatever you want i'm going to show you what it looks like on redbubble
and we'll go from there so here i am on redbubble i added new work you can go here and add new work
and all you have to do is drag that png into here so i'm going to drag it right there
boom it's going to take a little while you want to put your title tags and description i'm not going
to show you how to do that in this video i just want to show you what it looks like on a t-shirt
so here it is on the regular t-shirt you can see i knocked it out so it looks good on these darker
colors there's black blue you can see this one is that navy i think that a dark blue because you got
charcoal so you can now put it on these darker colors and it's perfect right here's the large
print right here oh look at that just so nice right and make sure when you do this on redbubble
to do the darker ones on these as well if i were to put a background i'd probably do a just a
black background it's real easy to do just like that and you can see if i do that on redbubble
they have the dark background on some of these other things now it doesn't make a nice sticker
you're gonna have to change the color for that or do an outline or whatever but sticker doesn't work
but look at this on phone cases and on pillows mouse pads posters look great looks great on a
giant shower curtain if someone wants to do that bags clocks books just perfect right it doesn't
look great on the tote bag but there's so many products that it works well for here and here so
have fun with This this is a real easy one to do now of course i don't know if this is trademarked
or anything you're gonna have to check uspto to see if i'd i'd rather be skiing is trademark i
just came up with that really quick don't copy the phrase and don't even copy this design try
try it with a different silhouette maybe different trees or something different vintage sunset i'm
just showing you how to put it all together and it's so simple to do the rounded text find a good
font you saw how i did that with the different searches and just put it all together and then
knock out all the black right so real easy to do so have fun with this one uh hopefully
this taught you some different skills you can do in canva i'm still learning canva so there's a
lot of other things on there that i still need to learn but this is something that you saw it
