In this video I'm going to show you what I learned using Canva Pro. If you didn't know
there's some textures in Canva Pro that you can use and I'm going to show you how you can use
them for free. I'm going to do it with Affinity Designer and also Photopea, if you don't have
Affinity Designer and you can do that for free. So let me show you how to do it. 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 want to help you to do the same. In this video I'm
going to show you what i've learned on canva pro so there's so many different things that i found
out on canva pro i'm using some new fonts i found these textures on canva pro that i'm going to use
to kind of give my design a distressed look a textured look i'm going to show you how to use
that i'm going to incorporate it with affinity designer and if you don't have affinity designer
you can use photopea which is a free app online so i'm going to show you both methods they both
turned out really great you're going to want to stay tuned for this if you have canva pro now
the textures are not on free canva this is just canva pro but these techniques can be used with
any texture that you find you could find textures for free online as well so use these techniques
that i'm showing you in affinity designer or photopea to do your texture removal or putting
textures on your design for t-shirts so it just gives it that nice vintage look that is really
cool right now so let's get into canva i'll show you how to make the design step by step and then
what to do after that okay guys here we are on canva i'm gonna do a design really quick so
i'm gonna show you how to do this so we just go to custom size uh 4500 5400 right there i'm gonna do
this really quick because we got lots to get into here so elements let's do vintage sunset mountain
you can use any mountain you can use any graphic we're just going to pick one here i'm going to do
just graphics you can see ton of them especially for pro if you have pro there's a ton of them here
it's right here boom so you can see right there i'm going to make the background black so let's do
that and i actually want a sun that's not black just to give it some interest so i'm gonna do
c for circle um put this here and it can just be just a little bit bigger than this one covering
that circle that's already here so let's put that there and then if i go to color i can just pick
like a yellow or you know go in here and make it even more yellow all right so next thing we want
is text so let's do t for text and type in explore nature whoops we're just gonna type in explore
nature you can't see that because it's um black let's do white and let's move it here
explore
whoops
nature um i like the font i just recently found this font this is one of the pro
fonts and it is intro rust i'm gonna throw rust right there boom uh and i'm gonna make a bigger
explore nature and we're gonna round it around this thing so we go to effects
and curve if i'm going too fast you can slow this down um but you can see right there want it that
big maybe the font just a little smaller so this i'm just gonna you know make it 300 or something
whoops and
yeah maybe 350. let's try that
that could work and just kind of tighten it around like that good we can center this so
center this and then move this to match all right do that and then move that to match two
boom all right and then we can use the same font let's do t again to type in have and
like that and adventure
and since adventure is a little longer word i want a more condensed
font so i'm going to go with bobby what is it called
bobby jones bobby jones soft maybe yeah that one's pretty cool
all right and then i can make it a little bigger have it stand out so before i go any
further i'm going to center this two just so we have everything centered you can position this
centered all right one cool thing that people love to do are the like the hand-drawn arrows so i'm
just gonna type in hand-drawn arrow and i found this one right here i'm going to make that white
boom and let's make it bigger like that
could do that and i'm going to copy it so i'm going to hold down option
and make it longer like this so it matches this part and then i'm going to crop it so i'm going
to crop this one so that it's right there by the end and i'm going to crop this other one
so it's like that boom really cool right have an adventure and the next thing i want to do
is add the texture so this check this out guys all you got to do is type in texture
and you can see all these textures now you can look for a specific texture if you want
i'm going to do vintage dirt texture or overlay let's try vintage dirt
texture you can see a whole bunch you can also use the keyword overlay let's
just pick one of these all of these are pro you can see most of them are pro
i'm going to try this one right here and just make it bigger whoops and you want this one on
the top so move to front move to front and just make it take up the whole space like that and
i feel like it's not in the front yet let's move to front again yeah there you go so you can see
it's in the front because it's cutting off some of the letters there so that's how you know and you
can move it around now it's not an actual texture like you can fake it on here but if you remove the
background let's look what happens or you turn the background to white look what happens you see that
so we're going to have to actually knock it out from it so let's go back i'm going to do undo z
and i'm gonna do this three times so let's do hit duplicate page three time two times so one and two
and so this is what we're gonna do so the first page we're going to call this final
right the second page let's call this without texture
and you'll see why i need to do this and we're going to take the texture out of this one so
that's without the texture and this one's just going to be the texture so the easiest way to
do that is just get rid of all of this first and then copy this texture and then put it on this
last one and now i know you can't see it so let's we'll change the background to white so that we
can see it here there you go so there's just the texture there's without the texture and here is
it all together and then we're going to save this so share and then make sure we download and do png
transparent background it's at our right size 4 500 by 5400 was what we need and we want to
do all three just so that we can see it so hit download and we're off to the races we're going to
open this up in affinity designer first i'm going to show you a really quick way to get rid of that
texture and then in photopia if you don't have affinity designer i'm going to show
you how to do it in there okay so here we are in affinity designer you can see
i've got these three right here one's called final which is both of them together texture
and then without texture right so i'm going to open all three of these
in affinity designer the way i'm going to do that is let me put this on the side
so first i'm going to click my presets and do merge by amazon size here double click on that
and then you can see i just have the artboard i'm going to drag in first the final one that has both
and i want to make sure that it fits on the top and it should because we have the right size
i'm going to put on this artboard i'm going to put a background so all you do for a background
is click on artboard and then pick black right there so that's what it's supposed to
look like let's do another artboard click on the artboard tool insert artboard so now you have two
this one we're going to want to do the one without texture so drag it in and you can see it should
fit let's just drag it to there and with the art with the background let's do artboard black
right so that's without the texture and we're gonna put the texture on it
so you can see i made the background black but this would work with any color you can see i'm
making it gray here just to show you that this is what it would look like on a gray t-shirt or
a blue or purple t-shirt right you can see kind of it would work so let's bring in the texture now
right over here like that and make sure this is right where it's supposed to be right there
covering everything so you can see the texture is black but we want to knock it out of the
back so all we have to do on this artboard is click the texture and the one without texture
hit command g and group it so you can see right there they're both grouped and on the texture
one all you do is come down here and do erase right there so you can see now it's erased if
we change the background color with the artboard to any color it's still erased the only thing
dark are the birds right there and you could knock those out if you want to but i think that's fine
uh with the birds dark like that so you can see that's on green
on black on whatever it is right blue or gray so that's how you do it and take out
uh this and then you're going to export this whole thing when you're done so hit command option
command option shift s like that make sure it's a png go here to selection only and export this and
this will be ready for any of your print on demand sites that you're going to do
redbubble merged by amazon whatever it is that's all you have to do so that's how easy it is with
affinity designer with photopia it's just a little bit different so i'm going to show you how to do
it in photopia if you don't have affinity designer all right so here we are on photopia photopia.com
right here it's a lot like photoshop i'm going to show you how to use it real simple to knock out
your texture layers there's probably lots of different ways to do this but i'm going
to show you my way that i do it first thing we want to do is drag in without texture this one
right here you can see and then we want to drag in texture right above it just like that boom so
we have texture and then without texture with the background and then i want to make another layer
so i'm going to remove myself here so you can see at the very bottom you can click this right here
as another layer move that layer to the bottom right there so you can have layer one background
and there too let's do for the layer one let's do a square on here let's change the background color
to like a blue or something and just do this boom so you can see that black texture is still there
so we're gonna want it so that it works good on any color and we can change these colors
uh when i show you so first texture right here and then i'm gonna right click on it and then i'm
gonna select the pixels right here you can see select pixels you can see all those designs i'm
going to click background right here and i'm just going to hit backspace or delete on your keyboard
boom now if i remove this texture one and not show it i can turn off the eye here and hit
command d to remove those marchy ants and you can see i've just knocked out
the background with the texture so if i change the color of this let's say the fill is black
you can see it works on all these different colors you don't have the black background already
or you don't have the black texture anymore it works on all these shirts
boom any short color right that we want here so what we would do is turn this off
as well come up here to file we're gonna export as png right there and then it's at 4 500 by 5400
without texture is the name you can change that name to whatever you want so let's call it
explore png hit save and there you go um you don't have to have the ad this is just telling
you what to do without the ads but if you don't mind the ads you can use this for free
there's explore png now you can use that png in your merch by amazon redbubble or wherever so
those are two ways to do it with the texture very easy you can find all those textures
for canva pro you could look for textures i think i have a video on how to find textures for free
on the internet and then use photopea to knock the textures out so whether you have affinity designer
or not you can still knock textures out of your design again you can use any texture any design
so have fun with this make your designs vintage and give it that distressed look
so that is it for this video hopefully this video is really helpful for you a lot of people have
been asking how do you get those textures out of designs like how to use canva you can't really use
canva to do it i mean you can get the textures in canva but you can use things like photopea
photoshop affinity designers to get that textured look which is really popular right now so if this
video is really helpful for you make sure to give it a thumbs up and if you're not subscribed
to this channel already make sure to hit that subscribe button right here you can use these
for those outdoor designs or any design really that you want to make it look vintage looking
great for father's day as well so hopefully use this technique when you're doing those designs
the question of the day for this video is what graphic applications do you use i talked about
affinity designer and photopea and canva those are the three i used in this video i'd love to hear
what you use maybe i can make some videos about it if you have any questions let me know those in
the comments thanks again for watching and if you want to see more canva tutorials click on
