hey what's up guys today's video is
inspired by my top five niches of the
week video from this past sunday
the bonus shirt that i shared with you
guys was the uh the one over here over
my shoulder in the thumbnail
and i really like this design because it
definitely
works uh it's almost like this is why i
like it it's like a template that we can
apply to almost any evergreen niche and
we can all execute this design and i
feel like it checks a lot of the boxes
of all the t-shirts selling uh best
practices from a design perspective not
that there is like a
one apex way of designing t-shirts but
in terms of
something that is very versatile that
can be templated that we can use to
enter a bunch of different niches i
really like this design style so in this
video i'm going to show you how you can
replicate it not steal the design but
the design style how you can utilize
something that we know works because
clearly customers are purchasing it so
let's get started
real quick at the top of the description
i've got some free resources for you
i've got the free weekly print on demand
giveaway that you can take advantage of
i've got a eight day print on demand
mini course completely free if you give
me your email i'll send you one lesson a
day and i've got a great print on demand
facebook group you should check out
all right so i'm going to show you
basically how to recreate this design we
can even you know do a little niche
research and find some text to pair with
it but this was inspired by the design
that i shared as the bonus design from
top five niches of the week you know you
got the sunset a little curved text some
text underneath and a silhouette i mean
in this
case i just did a cow but we can
obviously do pretty much any shape that
we want
by the way we're going to use creative
fabrica to recreate this design template
they have pretty much everything any
print on demand seller can need and more
so you guessed it they've got
sunsets uh they've got pictures of cows
they've got cow silhouettes which is
basically between the sunset um by the
way you can you know the sunsets they've
got a ton of so you can just kind of
scroll through and there's a lot of
options so you know take your pick
uh the cows they have a ton of like
artistic cows which you could actually
use those in combination with the sunset
or you can just do
keep it simple and just use like a
silhouette and that's what we're going
to probably do in this video
and then for the font it is also from
creative fabrica it is called creative
vintage that's what i'm going to use for
the design in this video
so shout out to creative fabrica that's
how i'm going to recreate this design
you can follow along with me it's only a
dollar for the first month if you join
using my special link if you don't join
using that link you don't get the one
dollar deal
and after that you get a 35 discount on
your monthly subscription
all right so let's jump on over to
photoshop and get started
alright so i'll probably just start from
scratch just so we're all in an even
playing field so let's go to file and
then new and i'm going to set the width
to 4 500 pixels i'll set the height to
5400 pixels
and there we go i always like to set the
background to black
because i like to sell on the dark
colored t-shirts okay so
i went to creative fabrica and i grabbed
the
brown sunset here so i'll just show you
exactly as i'm doing it i'll even link
to the stuff in the description there's
a lot of sunsets you can choose from i
just chose this one because i think it
looks good i like the distressed effect
i like the color scheme so all those
should work and i grabbed a cow
silhouette as well and i think that's
about all we needed i also grabbed that
font creative vintage and i can drop a
link to that in the description as well
by the way sorry if you hear the dogs in
the background they're in another room
but you might still be able to hear them
barking uh so yeah so that's what we're
gonna use i'm gonna drag and drop the
sunset in first
i might shrink it down just a little bit
there leave some room at the top for the
text and now i'm going to merge this
layer down like i'm going to flatten the
layer
all right and the reason i did that is
so that i can then use the rectangle
selection tool
and i'm just going to cut it in half
okay so i'm going to do some flat text
on the bottom part and i will do curve
text above so now i'm going to change
the foreground color to white
i'm going to select the text tool
and i'm just going to
select the full width of the document
okay and you'll notice photoshop gives
me some default text so i'm just going
to type lorem
ipsum
standard like latin placeholder text
and you might want to change your font
to
uh create a vintage if you want to
follow along exactly as i'm doing it
font size can be dynamic so something
that looks
like it goes with the size of everything
that we are designing so i'm currently
at like 900 point
we'll leave it like that for now and you
know what i just realized is we want the
text on top curved so why don't we move
this text down
to the bottom okay and we'll leave it
there and now for the curve text i'm
going to use the
ellipse tool okay and i'm going to use
the circle ellipse tool on the toolbar
there okay and then i'm gonna draw a
circle and i'm gonna hold the shift key
while i draw the circle
okay and uh i might redo that actually
also i'm gonna remove the fill i'm gonna
set that to transparent because we don't
need any fill okay let's try that circle
drawing one more time i kind of want it
to line up with the
um top of that sunset and then there's
probably a better way but i eventually
just get it right if i try a couple
times all right so now i've drawn this
ellipse it's not actually going to show
up in the design itself
but when i click the text tool and i
hover over the um little black square at
the very top
the icon changes a little bit so i can
then click in
and when i click in it shows me curved
text it obviously pre-populates with the
lorem ipsum so i can click in and just
type in
uh whatever i want
okay so now we've basically created the
base of this design i guess the last
thing to do would be to use the cow
silhouettes
and pull that in so why don't we go
ahead and do that i'll grab the cow
silhouette here we'll grab maybe this
one
okay
and then we will
just paste
okay
now overlaying a cow silhouette like
this doesn't actually
really look good per se but here's the
thing all we need to do is then use the
magic wand tool by the way satoshi wants
to say hello
say hello satoshi he's out there yapping
okay buddy thank you for being in the
video
um
so now we've got the cow right there i'm
gonna use the magic wand tool and i'm
just gonna click it and you'll notice it
selects it i guess i can zoom in sorry
for being zoomed out
uh so it's selected the cow now here's
the thing uh i'm kind of covering the
layer panel so i'll move myself
okay
the layer panel over there i'm gonna
turn off the cow layer i mean i don't
have to turn it off but then i'm gonna
select the sunset layer and then i'm
just gonna cut and in doing this it's
gonna let the shirt color show through
so if i wanted to like just change the
background to purple to represent like a
purple shirt um you'll see here that it
shows through the whole design and if
you
just left the silhouette over top then
it would still be gray so that's why
we're gonna actually cut out the
silhouette um now the reason that this
is so special is not because we need to
spend time selling cow designs like you
can definitely sell cow designs if you
want to but you don't necessarily have
to do the the cow designs like you can
apply this to really any niche like
whatever niche you think people have
interest in
put a silhouette there by the way
creative fabric has graphics for just
about everything so put a silhouette
there
cut it out
put some text above below i mean
honestly it could be something like
without even doing niche research you
could just type something like i can't
live
without
uh
cows
i don't know callus just seems kind of
weird but i can't live without cows
things i can't live without things i
don't know i'm just thinking out loud
here things i can't
now obviously you can actually go spend
a minute doing niche research as well
things i can't live without by the way i
always
in my shop reviews and stuff say you
should vertically
align towards the top so i got to follow
my own rules things i can't live without
i'm just i'm just freestyling here but i
bet you this design would sell
things i can't live without
so i was i was on a couple different
one-on-one calls this morning and like
some i draw a lot of inspiration from
those and one of the one of the calls
with hashem i was we were both kind of
laughing at like the bonus shirt from
this past sunday because it was like
damn you know you could take that design
style apply it to almost any niche and
then this fourth quarter reap a massive
benefit get rewarded for your hard work
because in the fourth quarter you don't
really need to be chasing trends
everybody's buying everything gifting it
etc
great time to be
ranking your evergreen niche designs
so
and what i'm doing right now again has
nothing to do with the actual cow niche
this was just inspired by
that top five niches of the week video
so
you could change cows with whatever but
you see i'm keeping it very generic
and i'm keeping this template
flexible in the sense that
we can easily
change the silhouette of a cow and
change the word cow
and switch this up into a different
niche it's probably only going to take
what a minute or two
for this to become a you know and by the
way we go from the cow niche things i
can't live without then we switch it to
a chicken then we switch it to a block
of cheese whatever it is whatever people
like you know what i mean like go to
google and type in list of
um people's favorite foods list of
people's favorite animals etc like
we're just keeping it simple here so i
hope you guys see the point of me making
this video i hope this really helps you
with your prep for q4
in q4 um definitely don't be afraid to
be a little random right like this video
was inspired by the fact that we saw a
cow shirt selling really well but you
don't need to verify every single niche
in the fourth quarter man sales are just
crazy everybody's buying i said
everybody's buying everything so you can
literally come up with something and
just throw it up there i mean if you
don't have any slots left on amazon
merch join amazon seller central
join etsy obviously 20 cents per listing
even if you don't want to automatically
renew the listings do a manual renew and
if it starts to sell switch manual to
automatic right um also every time it
sells it renews so that's also something
worth considering but guys i hope you
enjoyed this video please show creative
fabrica some love i actually just need a
couple more sign ups if anybody's not a
member uh if i get a couple more signups
i get a little like affiliate bonus um i
am obviously an affiliate for creative
fabrica but i wouldn't be like bsing you
about it uh anybody who's joined
creative fabrica knows that it's well
worth the money um you can make the
amount of money it cost you to be a
member back pretty quickly with just a
few sales um if you're on etsy it's like
two sales if you're on amazon merch it's
like four sales of a t-shirt at 19.99 so
when you put things in that perspective
uh to me it seems like a no-brainer so
anyways i hope you enjoyed the video
guys let me know your feedback your
thoughts one last thought before i leave
you can also select the sunset layer and
you see how we have it brown you can go
up to image in photoshop then go to
adjustments and then go to hue
saturation okay and then you can just
drag the hue slider and let's say you
want a pink cow alright you got a pink
cow just like that all we did was drag
this little slider so it goes from blue
to pink the orange the yellow the green
you know the blues again so
that's also another way of just like
differentiating yourself making your
designs a little different if you think
the color matters at all you can switch
it up just like that so we got a nice
font we got a nice sunset we got the
silhouette we got everything we got a
winning design template by the way save
these templates all right save if you're
on like i use photoshop creature of
creature of habit i've been using
photoshop forever i will save this as a
psd template
and then the next time i want to sit
down and design all i do is double-click
that template it opens in photoshop and
like i said i just switch the word cow
to um cheese right
maybe i make the text a little bit
smaller because
that seems to be a little too big and
yeah okay you guys get the point um we
changed cows to cheese we put cheese in
the sunset and we're good to go all
right guys i hope you enjoyed this video
i will see you at the next one
