what's up guys not too long ago i showed
you this leprechaun design
in my top five niches of the week video
that's it on the left hand side there
and what i'm gonna do in this video is
show you how to create the design that
you see
in the middle i'm gonna show you a quick
easy way of getting this done i'm going
to show you what resources i use to
reach this
end result also shout out to the person
who reminded me that i said i would make
this video because i definitely forgot
so let's get started
[Music]

it walks you through how to get started

and my print on demand facebook group if
you want to join that that'd be awesome
all right so i'm going to show you how
to create this
shirt well i'm not going to show you how
to like replicate it exactly
but i'm going to show you my process for
if i saw this design and i was like
i want to make this something similar in
this niche right
and what i'm going to show you is not
just like the leprechaun
design you know even though i titled the
video where i titled the thumbnail that
way
this is really like able to be applied
to anything so
don't limit your thinking to just this
right you can do
anything with this once you see how easy
it is
all right so i'm going to use vexels for
the unicorn graphic because
i am not a great graphic designer i've
got a friend joona at detour shirts on
youtube if you want graphic design
tutorials for how to create graphics
like that
check his channel out he is a
professional graphic designer that's
not really my lane you know i try to
stay in my lane so i like to keep things
simple
and trust the experts so i use vexels
for pre-made graphics uh like this one
and i just wanted to show you because i
was surprised at how many unicorn
graphics vexels have
uh they've got a lot of really good ones
so really quickly
and by the way i'll put a link to
vectors in the description if you want
to check them out but really quickly
just take a look at some of these
unicorn graphics that they uh
that they had i only went through two
pages of them before
finding one that i liked for this video
but i just wanted to show you really
quickly uh some of the options you've
even got like a dabbing unicorn in a
leprechaun outfit down there at the
bottom
and another unicorn right here um not
dabbing but with a pot of gold
so lots and lots and lots of pre-made
graphics on vexels i've even been
implementing them with some
automate pod scaled designs and having
really good results so i'm excited
all right so i rolled out uh i rolled
with this graphic right here now you
might be wondering like
this unicorn graphic is beautiful it's
awesome
but it's also a little crazy looking how
are you gonna transform this
into a leprechaun you know st patrick's
day themed
uh graphic and that is exactly what i'm
going to show you but
so i went ahead i click download and
then i pull it into photoshop that is my
graphic design software of choice
however what i'm going to show you
should translate into
probably illustrator i don't use
illustrator that often i mean almost
almost never i don't even have it
installed on my computer it's been a
while
i had it on my work computer but i quit
my day job a year ago thanks to
everything that i talk about on this
youtube channel so make sure you guys
are subscribed so you can keep
up with what i've been up to um also i
did confirm that what i'm going to show
you works in photopia so in case you
don't use photoshop but you want to do
this with me
photopia p-h-o-t-o or photo p photo p
photopia i'm not even gonna try to spell
it i'll put a link in the description as
well
all right so i went ahead i pulled this
into photoshop
this is what it looks like i haven't
done anything yet other than download
drag drop
we're good if you're wondering what
dimensions i use when i design if 4500
by 5400 pixels
is my preferred dimensions since i
prioritize all my designs for amazon
merch
and then i kind of just let everything
trickle down to the other websites
all right the next thing i'm going to do
is i'm going to use a free website
not now we used vexels a second ago now
we are going to use
pixels so we swap the v to a p now
pixels is like a free open source
repository
where mainly i guess photographers
upload photographs
and i guess this is a way of like
building a name for yourself maybe i
don't i'm not a photographer i'm not
really sure
anyways i go to pexels.com and i search
for outer space
all right this is exactly how i would go
about doing this design
now all i did kept it simple i used the
very first image there but you can't
really go wrong right you can figure out
what works for you i use the first image
and yes it is purple but don't worry
i'll show you how to make it green
now this is what it looked like i went
ahead at the top there i click free
download
and you can see the uh the photographer
miriam
espacio 1460 followers so i guess this
is a great way of
building a name for yourself as a
photographer i'm sure at least somebody
here watching this video probably use
pixels and can explain to me in the
comments um you know the purpose of this
website why people
uh upload this stuff for free all right
so
next i downloaded the awesome photograph
of the universe or of the milky way
galaxy
to be more exact and then i just dragged
and dropped it into photoshop
this is what it looked like now before i
place it
i went ahead and i rotated it to be a
vertical
all right and this way it's and i
expanded it as well so that it's
covering the full canvas
and in order to rotate it just put your
mouse kind of near one of the corners
but not on the corner
and it should make a little like
rotating left right icon
when you see that just left click hold
and
drag until you've got it positioned how
you like in order to expand it
all you got to do is select that layer
and then hit ctrl t in photoshop or in
photopia because control t
photo pia runs in your web browser by
the way so if you control t
this is something that most people
probably know but it opens a new tab in
your web browser
so for photo p i hit control alt t
or you can probably go to like edit free
transform and then you just click the
corner
and expand it and it'll get bigger
alright so
and it doesn't need to be covering the
full canvas it just needs to be covering
the part that you want to overlay it on
all right so then i hit enter and i
place it next thing i do
on the layers on the right hand side so
you see this behind me above me
so i right click the well i shouldn't
even i mean this layer should be
selected but i right click the
galaxy layer that you see right here
and then i go to create clipping mask
you can see it right there
at the bottom i even put a big red arrow
there for you so you can see it
and again i confirmed that this also
works in photopia so you can just go
ahead and click
clipping mask in photopia and boom
check that out i bet you thought it
would be a lot harder to get this far
turns out it's pretty simple right now
this isn't exactly what we wanted though
we obviously wanted the leprechaun we
want the green
the green looks good when you're
thinking of a leprechaun unicorn
so we need to make another edit so i go
to image
adjustments so this is in photoshop
image adjustments
hue slash saturation i guess or you can
hit ctrl u i didn't know that shortcut
but i'm going to try to remember to use
it in the future so
image adjustments hue saturation
now on the left hand side here you see
the defaults zero
zero zero with the sliders all in the
center now what you're going to want to
do is something like what you see behind
me
alright if you want to do it exactly how
i did it just change the hue
to negative 110 this is going to make it
green all right so there you go and if
you actually click and drag the little
slider you can
see how it affects the colors in real
time
so again you can play with it and make
it look however you think looks best
but i did a negative 110 all right and
that's
pretty much it right so i downloaded
this uh
this design i turn off the background
save as png upload to amazon merch
and this is my design side by side with
the leprechaun that we were looking at
earlier
uh i didn't have to select the black
t-shirt but i kind of thought it looked
cool how the dark green kind of fades
into the black
it's almost like a camouflage i don't
know leprechaun right i don't even know
where i'm going with this
but i thought it looked cool so i kept
the shirt there black for this preview
and if you want to you know you can edit
out the text that says be magical i just
left it in
you can obviously type whatever text you
want in and guess what you can do this
for easter and change the color scheme
completely but do overlays etc
um unicorn plus easter whatever i'm just
thinking out loud here
it doesn't have to be the green
leprechaun but then also i was like wait
a second i looked at that left design
and i was like there's a three leaf
clover which isn't supposed to be four
leaf clover for st patrick's day
so i guess that's an unlucky unicorn or
if i'm wrong tell me i'm wrong but i
swear it's four leaf clover right
uh so the left-hand side has the clover
so if you want to do that that's also
very easy to accommodate
i just went to google images and found a
four leaf clover
all right downloaded it we're not
actually using the graphic we're just
gonna like pop it into the
design that we've got here on top of our
graphic
use the magic wand tool and click it
and the magic wand tools on the
left-hand side in photoshop it's like
fourth from the top
if you're not familiar with the magic
wand tool it's like gonna be your best
friend after you see this video it's
awesome
so i just click the graphic it selects
the entire graphic
then what i do is in the layers behind
me
and you don't have to turn off the
graphic but i prefer to turn it off just
so i can see exactly where i'm going to
be
so i went ahead and i turned off the
four leaf clover that i had just
downloaded from google images hide that
layer
and then click the layer with your
unicorn graphic
all right when you do this this will
allow us to target that layer with the
edit we're about to make
and the edit we're about to make is you
can just hit the delete key on your
keyboard
or you can hit like control x which is
just like the you know
cut if you're trying to cut something um
that way you could paste it if you want
to but i mean i'm not pasting it i'm
just trying to cut it out
to leave the silhouette of the four leaf
clover so again guys
it's drag drop the four leaf clover it's
now on its own
layer magic wand click that layer then
turn off that layer but you've still got
the selection from the magic wand you'll
still see like the dashed line showing
you the outline of the clover
next click the layer you want to cut the
four leaf clover out from so in this
case i just click the layer with my
leprechaun and that's it then you hit
delete or control x to cut
and you've got this right here right
right there in front of you so that's it
