videos like this one every single week now that we've got our computer here fired up ready to go
and connected to a reliable internet connection let's head on over to transferexpress.com to
get started now here you could design your custom t-shirt graphics online in our free
robust easy view online designer even if you have zero graphic design experience there's over ten
thousand customizable layouts and clip art that you could use for free now creating an account
is quick and easy and you don't even need to enter a credit card number and we're even going to send
you some goodies like this welcome pack after you get signed up now this includes a black and
white version of our one and only idea book now the ideal book has our most popular layouts and
clip arts available in the easy view designer and of course everything in this book is 100 percent
customizable all you need to do is type in the code that corresponds to the design
in the search bar at the top of our designer right here and in seconds you could pull up
a scaled version of the artwork from the book and start customizing but now that we're here
in easy view let's begin by bringing in a layout now we're looking to make a souvenir
merch t-shirt for one of our state parks here in ohio for a timeless outdoor theme design with that
retro look the layout here qms 210 is a popular choice you could search for the artwork by keyword
category or exact layout number by using that add layout button right here on the left hand side of
the designer in the blue bar now the first edit we're going to have to make is the text double
clicking on the text in the online designer we can update the text to say salt fork ohio
instead of the compton placeholder copy so just double clicking on each of these allows you to
change that in addition to changing the contents of our text we could also change the font too we
could click on the text once just to select it as indicated by the green dotted line or bounding box
and once our text is selected we can navigate over to our edit panel here on the left hand
side of our designer and click font from there we could scroll through this huge selection of fonts
and replace this red zone font that we're using right now with something that fits our fancy now
after we've selected a font we could also adjust the outline surrounding the text too if we want
to make it thicker or thinner i'm going to make sure the text is selected and i'll navigate to the
bottom of this edit menu to the outline setting in this tab and you can see that we already have one
applied but going to the edit menu even further by clicking on outline i can adjust the size by using
the plus and minus buttons right here at the top now keep in mind that our minimum line thickness
for screen prints is .012 inches or about one point so you could always verify that your lines
are thick enough to print by using our measurement tool that's available right here in the designer
we just put together a whole video on how to utilize this brand new helpful tool if you do
need it and we'll link that one right here in the video and also in the description below now that
our text is looking great the second step is going to be finding a replacement for the mountains now
here in ohio we don't necessarily have mountains maybe more like rolling hills so these huge rocky
peaks that are in this clip art are not going to work for us right here so let's just swap them out
all we have to do is click on the mountains and the trees to select them and delete them using
the key on your keyboard or the trash can icon at the top of the designer one thing to keep in mind
is some layouts are grouped together so if the layout is grouped together and you can't select
individual elements just click on the layout to select it go up to our blue bar at the top and
use the drop down menu here for object and just click ungroup next we're going to search for some
new mountains that are going to suit our park a little bit better those rolling hills so we're
going to go to the left hand side and click add clip art instead of add layout this time
now with just a simple search with our keyword as mountain i don't know what we'll get from rolling
hills and we'll find a nice replacement but as you can see here clipart x 1 2 c 80 has a great
rolling hill look to it so we're going to select it and with just a click it's added to
our artboard now these new mountains look great and exactly what we're looking for but
our park say doesn't have a lake like this new clip arc does so let's remove it with the clip
art selected we can ungroup it by clicking on object in the top blue bar and clicking ungroup
once it's ungrouped we could click on the water shapes and just delete them
next we can arrange our clipart above our text and even slide the cat tail elements here
over to the right hand side separating them from our rolling hills using the arrange tool at the
top blue bar we could bring the clip art to the top so it sits on top of all of our other elements
now once we're happy with this design it's time to move on to colors first we could
change the color of our background to match the garments we're going to be printing on
so we'll go down here to the bottom left and click on apparel color this little square and
change it to our garment color once we have our garment color set let's finalize our ink colors
by navigating up to that black square in the edit tab and for these shirts i think a simple
white ink is going to look best so we're just going to select white from the menu here and bam
now all of our inks have changed over to white and now we have a fully customized print ready design
that we made for free and in just a few minutes no need for a super high powered computer or
anything now once we are done designing we could actually use the easy views mock-up feature over
here on the left-hand side and we can import a picture that we took of our crew neck sweatshirt
and then place our design on it and download the image as a social media post or a product photo
or even a proof that we could send to our customer now we have a whole video on how to use
this mock-up feature that will link right here and also down in the description below but as you can
see these mock-ups are going to help you close those sales and people love seeing their ideas
come to life on a finished t-shirt this costs you nothing you don't have to buy any blanks or
any sample transfers to get this photo i hope you feel empowered and inspired now to customize your
own artwork it is truly this simple make sure you subscribe right here to our youtube for tons of
helpful tips and tricks just like this one we're dropping new videos every single week and we're
releasing a whole series on easy view features but until next time i'm dave happy pressing
