You are one of my favorites in this niche, you always give us actual information on the how. One thing I have never seen anyone address about these AI tools is the DPI issue. How do we get from 72 DPI to 300 DPI?
I have videos for that.... basically you have 2 choices... upscale or vectorize.... Upscale video....ruclips.net/video/eXP1s63PjZc/видео.htmlsi=a6ubSUGFnWMC93Dg .... Vectorizing video...ruclips.net/video/v65HKP0mfwY/видео.htmlsi=6kZSnxH_d8DWGQNe
Hi Juna, that's really great job you're doing for all of us. Your kindness and dedication shine through in everything you do. It's truly appreciated, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for all the hard work you put in. Keep up the fantastic work. ..I just realised that I got 27 out of 31 :) The most difficult ones were 'gumbo' and 'cities,' and "princess". I ended up not creating anything for these words. 'Cities' was challenging because I'm not familiar with American cities, landmarks, or highlights at all. Nonetheless, it's really cool. I also try to make cross-niche connections, which sometimes saves time, but I'm not sure if it'll work in the long run. Thanks again
Hey Juna, I uploaded my first sticker yesterday. I'm a visual artist and graphic designer. I have been watching your videos and really like how you created your stickers. They are original and that is the way I like to create my art.
Your Videos are very great! Thank you!😊 I would like to see how you create different designs in Affinity Designer, i would like to see how you create the outwash look in colorado or other tipps and tricks! 😋
For the black outline on the whale I would try selecting the background, then inverting the selection, then adding a stroke to the selection. Saves time
I bloody trace everything and modify the hell out of all. I like to use as starting idea but in the end looks different. Looks like artists using procreate or fresco would do awesome as a start point.
Hey Juna I saw you use affinity photo to change the size, I wasn't sure if you knew but if you drag your image into affinity designer then go to file then document setup you can change the image to the pixel range you want and up it to 300dpi, then export as PNG. So you can upscale faster and less steps.
I wanted to say a big thank you for everything. You have opened my world. Even though i do mugs it's given me so many ideas to create in different niches so i will continue on in February with you all. Thank you
Wow this is an awesome process tutorial. The vector outline technique is amazing. If you don’t mind me asking how do you come up with the funny text for each design?
A quick tip for your rough pixelated edges: in Photoshop > Make a full selection of your design > menu: Select > Modify > Contract > By: [2 pixels] > Select > Inverse (to invert the selection) > Delete :)
Can you show us a simple step by step video on how to remove the white edging on sticker whiz and up scale it for t-shirts. I find the designs are good but I struggle with them for larger T-shirt designs
yea i saw that but this is a classic mockup, isn't yours a psd one? you can upload your image and get a sqare templade including a shirt template on the right side.@@DetourShirts
Can't wait to see the year in review for these. Side note did you know that Canva has a image upscaler? I have never tried it but would love to know what you think about it.
I forgot to ask a question about the texture, can you actually make texture only on the image itself, let's say on the beer and not in all other surrunding areas..I tried on Canva but the texture goes on all printing area. I guess I can do it photopea as a clipping mask but surely should be something easy....Thank you
"Hi Juna, I have a question about edges. When we remove the background on Photopea, white edges often remain in the photo. Could you make a video tutorial on how to remove or repair these edges using Photopea or any other free tool? In my case, I usually cover them with a white line. After background removal, I edit it on Kittl by copying the design, vectorizing the copy file, and then replacing it in the background of the original design. I use the outlines tool with a similar color to the edge line on the original design, so it looks like the same outline on the original design. What do you suggest, and could you make a tutorial about this?
I’m trying to figure out why you didn’t go to 4x right away? Maybe this makes sense .. because when I try to increase the size of my pixel images, they seem to come out almost blotchy, weird looking instead of having a nice smooth color. I’m not sure if this makes sense. Is this why you do 2X initially?
These are the ones I did for the challenge... I also did other trend designs, evergreen designs and scaled designs... I usually do somewhere between 100-200 designs a month
I can never understand how to optimize for black or white as I personally don’t like wearing black t-shirt or even see people in black t-shirts. It’s hard to grasp 😅
if you had to subscribe to only one AI tool for your designs, which one would you subscribe too? I am pretty new to the POD world, and I don’t wanna splurge out $60 to subscribe to 3 different AI tools
Well right now, I would subscribe to ChatGPT with DALL-E 3. MidJourney and the others are great for posters and realistic art but for my style of t-shirts I like ChatGPT
Hello Mr. June, I hope you are well. I created my new store 3 days ago and uploaded 5 products that I designed myself to my store. But yesterday I received an e-mail stating that my account was deactivated. I couldn't understand the reason. Email regarding conditions and violations. However, I made all my designs with AI tools such as "recraft" and "canva" and designed them all myself by making edits in Photoshop. I didn't steal from anyone and I didn't steal. If you want, I can send you the designs I made. I even sent them an e-mail about this, but they still haven't responded. Can you please tell me why this is happening? I would be very happy if you answer or make a video about this. I follow you with pleasure, thank you in advance.
Not really... Of course people will... I think they steal best sellers regardless.... but I'm not scared to share my work because of copycats if that's what you are asking. There are so many people sharing work. That's what advertising and marketing is. If you are afraid to share your work because of copycats they already won.
It's hit and miss for me... but I get what you are saying. AI is just another tool, so if it's not for you try something else. Find the tool that works for you.
AI is killing POD. 3rd world designers lazily churning out turn-key stores for terminally unemployed zoomers who don't want to work any more. The images suck and the copy is garbage. The key to success in POD is starting 15 years ago.
Let me correct you there, the 31 designs you had a computer create from stolen artwork instead of hiring a graphic designer or making it yourself. This is disgusting
Thank you! You do so much for all of us. You are a wonderful teacher
Wow! Thanks
Amazing way to show the process. Great video Juna!

Wow 27 out of 31 is really good. I hope this exercise really helped you and will get you sales
Hey juna thanks for all you do . Dont forget to make a video of how those designs performs on POD site like the one from last year . have a good day
Will do!
Hey Juna, I uploaded my first sticker yesterday. I'm a visual artist and graphic designer. I have been watching your videos and really like how you created your stickers. They are original and that is the way I like to create my art.

I had no idea. Thanks
Thanks Juna, encouraging to see that you too use a lot of prompts to get something you're happy with!
Yes... it takes a lot sometimes
Very helpful video! Thank you! I really appreciated you showing how many prompts it took to get your desired design. I often times give up too soon.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful
I wanted to say a big thank you for everything. You have opened my world. Even though i do mugs it's given me so many ideas to create in different niches so i will continue on in February with you all. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Thanks Juna, you are a master in POD. Great advices and super helpfull
Glad it was helpful!
Wow this is an awesome process tutorial. The vector outline technique is amazing.
If you don’t mind me asking how do you come up with the funny text for each design?
I do my research... I brainstorm... I use quote generators.... so many different ways

Can you show us a simple step by step video on how to remove the white edging on sticker whiz and up scale it for t-shirts. I find the designs are good but I struggle with them for larger T-shirt designs
Yes... I will make an upscale video soon
@@DetourShirts thank you.
Thank you for sharing Juno. I did not know you had to order the stickers I though it was part on the plan.
I don't order stickers.... it says that as an option but I don't
Thank you for the awesome tutorial. @ min 7:55, do you convert the AI artwork to CMYK color space before exporting it from affinity designer for MBA?
I don't.... I probably should though
Thank you ! Can you share with us the grunge texture you used ?
Yes...Check out the collection Distressed Textures by @detourshirts on @CreativeMarket crmrkt.com/87lXdy
Is there a way to get a tutorial for a mockup like your wonderfull mockup you always using?
Yes... I made this one 4 years ago... I may need a new one... ruclips.net/video/E8L2SlBr-0c/видео.htmlsi=bPjILzfTjQw5ZSuM
yea i saw that but this is a classic mockup, isn't yours a psd one? you can upload your image and get a sqare templade including a shirt template on the right side.@@DetourShirts
I love the poster behind you
Thank you... I may have to talk about that one in a video
Can't wait to see the year in review for these. Side note did you know that Canva has a image upscaler? I have never tried it but would love to know what you think about it.
Oh cool! I need to make an upscaler video.
Great video as always, waiting for Fab designs
Coming soon!
Thank you so much for sharing such helpful tips!
You are so welcome!
Fabulous I appreciate u ❤❤❤
Thank you
Awesome. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Excellent overview. thank you!

In Affinity Designer you can
hey, do you have tips saving for keep your designs for later used on laptop so take up so much move?
Kind of... I use dropbox. I can access when I need it
thanks, my husband is bitching. we use stream to play games.@@DetourShirts
Thank you very much great man
Thank you
Hey Juna, does Chat GPT make the Stickers with Dalle?
Yes... that's exactly right

It's the limitation of the app.... It doesn't want you to go over 4000 pixels for FREE.. It also doesn't let you go 4x for FREE
Hey!! Are these the only designs you did in January?? If not and in general how many designs you can create in a month?
These are the ones I did for the challenge... I also did other trend designs, evergreen designs and scaled designs... I usually do somewhere between 100-200 designs a month
@@DetourShirts that's awesome!! Keep it up 💯 .. n thnks for ur reply.
I would love to know your opinion. What do you think about Bing generated AI images? Are they good enough to use to you?
I think it can be... it's all about the right prompt
But is it allowed to use them commercially?
thank you bro
You are so welcome... thanks for watching
I can never understand how to optimize for black or white as I personally don’t like wearing black t-shirt or even see people in black t-shirts. It’s hard to grasp 😅
Interesting... I would just keep studying and researching black shirt designs
Bro how to sell 👕 on Amazon without making and printing it really , just by uploading T-shirts with designs, like dropshipping??
Yes... that's right... it's called Amazon Merch on Demand...merch.amazon.com/landing
Hi, why dont you downscale in Canva?
You could if you had something really big and want to use Canva. I’m just more familiar with Affinity
very cool
Thank you
Great! Whatever makes $$😊
True
Juna I sent a thanks...btw..the theater masks are called comedy and tragedy masks...
Yes... that's what they are called. Thanks
Ah... that's right... thanks

Please make a video about how we can use more complex AI image for t-shirt.
Thank you
More complex... do you have an example?
@@DetourShirts like more detailed cat or dog Or some realistic photo to t-shirt design.

@@DetourShirts Thank you very much Mr. June, can you give me an e-mail address or another media account so that I can send you my designs?
First🎉
YES!! You get the trophy 🏆
What's Sellyng:)
Still too early to tell... I'm giving it a few months
Are you not worried about people stealing your art?
Not really... Of course people will... I think they steal best sellers regardless.... but I'm not scared to share my work because of copycats if that's what you are asking. There are so many people sharing work. That's what advertising and marketing is. If you are afraid to share your work because of copycats they already won.
Actually I really don't like the artwork which is designed by AI
It's hit and miss for me... but I get what you are saying. AI is just another tool, so if it's not for you try something else. Find the tool that works for you.
I am an artist
I do use free Ai tools.
Then I trace them teak. Them in illustrator and change them according to my wish.
Ahhhh oookay some useless info i needed
Sooo don’t use it 🫠
Then you are using the wrong prompts...
You clearly do not understand tshirt and sticker art...
2 times my account was banned due Ai content . Its generates same faces and its repetative
Hmmmm that's very interesting
Lemons 😂
Yeah... I like that one too

Let me correct you there, the 31 designs you had a computer create from stolen artwork instead of hiring a graphic designer or making it yourself. This is disgusting
The graphics were done by AI but I still needed to do some work to make the full designs.... It's kind of like using clipart
