Juna! I just printed some files I purchased from your site. Thanks for making it easier for me to organize as I'm putting the scalable design ideas and calender in a binder. I have an etsy shop, but want to, like you have shown, to have my designs on other sites as well. Graphic design is getting easier and easier for me. It used to take me a whole day to design something. Now I have templates ready to go, design, edit, and upload as I go. I stop the overthinking lol. I've been binge watching your channel since last year, and now I already have 10 designs uploaded.
love all the designs!! so inspiring! Can you please make a version of your meow-gical cat with Ravenclaw scarf colors (blue and silver)? I'd love to buy it.
Wow your videos are always so helpful. I have definitely benefited form your tips and tricks. Random question what iMac do you have. I am looking into getting one and considering a refurbished one.
So the iMac I have in the background is a very old one. Probably 2010 or so. I upgraded and use a MacBook with an M1 chip now. It’s only a couple years old.
This challenge was super fun and helped me a lot as a beginner. I had a so much going on in April and fell off halfway through, but I will definitely participate again in the next one👍
Kudos! Fun to watch. LHC said at one point they did 50 designs per day! My kind can't compute! 😂😂😂 Y'all are amazing! I do my best to do 1 a day though. Your skills are amazing!
5 days ago, RB suspended my account! I had over 2000+ designs there (60% were my creations, 20% were patterns and 20% were generic designs but altered by me) and I was an active member for 3 years now! And without any clear explanation! Only a generic email message with some hypothetical reasons! I made an appeal to their decision but I'm not expecting too much! The same Teepublic did to me some months ago! This is a shame! :(
Hey Juna, I saw a video recently and you were talking about your 12 month calendar with all the holidays and stuff on it and you said we should design for two months out. When designing for things that are two months in the future, how many designs should we make for each niche. i.e. independence day, bride and groom, bbq?
If you are not a drawer you have a couple of different options.... you could hire a designer or you could use templates.... Kittl has some, Canva & Placeit does too
Thank you for this video… I love your kawaii style… I am now inspired to start my own print on demand store. 😊 Quick question: are there design considerations we need to think about while we design for print on demand? For example would gradients show up well on Tshirts or bags or would they look awkward? Would fine lines look good or would the colors bleed over. Is there a minimum line width we need to use? Is there any design style we need to avoid, for instance textures? Do we need to print out designs to test them?
I do not.... I think most t-shirt sellers are doing trademarks wrong... Trademarks are for a branding not for individual tshirt ideas. USPTO will trademark it for you and take your money but I believe it's really dumb. Soon every phrase in the english language will be trademarked.
Super motivational content. If you don´t mind me asking about the Asian text you use on the variation of Feline Lucky ... does it actually translate to say something in that language? What I mean is I´ve heard of people using Japanese Kanji (as an example) as more of a decorative element without knowing that it actually says something rather vulgar in translation. Just curious. Thanks Juna. I learn so much from you. 👍🏻
Hey Juna, this is a cool creative exercise. How do you manage to do a design a day, plus research, plus uploading, plus all your social media, plus your RUclips, plus your day job, plus eating/sleeping/housework and living life lol... you're a machine, brother. I wonder though, is this how to get to that kind of 10000 design mark where the sales become more regular and more passive? Or is it through recycling designs with variations (ie. 1sr Grader, Mom of a 1st Grader, Dad of a 1st Grader; 2nd grader, Mom of a... etc)? Or something else? What are your thoughts on having less designs (like say, 1 to 3 uploads a week), but a more robust social media marketing effort? Do you think this could achieve similar results to having a high volume upload approach? Thanks Juna
So it really depends how well you can figure out what sells. Some people can get sales with less. Some people need a lot more. If you like at some of the biggest sellers out there they have a ton of designs. To answer your question on how to do that many designs each day…. It just has to be a priority. I had a hard time keeping it up for a month because it meant other things need to be put on the side. Hope that helps
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna, it does help. I just personally like to create designs that run through several re-drafts before it is posted; and it I'm not happy with it, I don't want to post it, but let it sit on the back burner until I figure out how to ace it. That goes for both things i compose from scratch as well as things I make out of graphic elements. So I was hoping there was a way to for me to achieve similar results to high volume uploads with fewer designs that have been aggressively marketed. I hear that Zazzle works better with a less is more approach, but yeah, I guess if we're going to take advantage of the other platforms traffic, it's best to keep feeding the algorithm with more designs. Well, gotta keep grinding I guess... I'll do my best to emulate your discipline. Peace out man
@@DetourShirts, I tried both ways to contact you but unfortunately, I couldn't,, is there no way I can contact you privately? I promise I will not disturb you. Thanks

Sounds like you are ready to go. Thanks for watching. Good luck.
Hi... I just started making design and ur my mentor thank you, I keep watching ur video if there's something I don't know...
Thank you. I hope this video was helpful for you
I do now 150 days challenge making 1 journal for KDP everyday, hope to see results in December😉. Your content is awesome ( as always )
That’s a great challenge. I hope it pays off for you! Keep it up!
I love this approach.
Awesome content as always Juna! Keep sharing these challenges with our community! I love how value packed your videos always are! Thanks!
Thanks... glad I could help
absolutely love the designs man damn keep up the amazing work you do bud ty for the insight and keeping it real
Wow! Thanks for the praise. Glad you liked the video.
love all the designs!! so inspiring!
Can you please make a version of your meow-gical cat with Ravenclaw scarf colors (blue and silver)? I'd love to buy it.
Sure I could do that... super easy. What POD site do you usually buy from? I'll make sure to put it there
@@DetourShirts Amazon but if you don’t want to risk putting it up there it’s understandable, any site will work!
Always so good to watch and as usual i have a few ideas to go forward with to find my own design style...
That’s great. Having your own style will help you build a brand
These challenges are so much fun! Love these videos. I’m working on doing one too in a few months. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Glad you like it... I agree, these challenges are so fun

50 designs a day would be awesome
@@DetourShirts For sure. Of course it was 2 of them. 😊

It is a shame. Sorry to hear your story. I hope things get better
@@DetourShirtsthanks buddy!
Wow I learned so much in this video. I would like to know more on how to create vectors. How? What programs? Thanks again for all the value, Juna.
Vectors can be made with Affinity Designer, Illustrator or Kittl. There are other programs too. Just search for vector graphic applications
@@DetourShirts Why did I think it was more complicated 😂😂
Hey Juna, I saw a video recently and you were talking about your 12 month calendar with all the holidays and stuff on it and you said we should design for two months out. When designing for things that are two months in the future, how many designs should we make for each niche. i.e. independence day, bride and groom, bbq?
Make as many as you can. 10 or more if possible
Great bro! All the designs are superb. One small doubt, How to get these animated images?
I drew them myself. If you don’t draw you will have to look for art on Canva, Kittl, Creative Fabrica or somewhere else.
Love the video but what if you're not a drawer how can you use this technique like in canva or kittle for people that are great designers?
If you are not a drawer you have a couple of different options.... you could hire a designer or you could use templates.... Kittl has some, Canva & Placeit does too
Thank you for this video… I love your kawaii style…

Do we need to print out designs to test them?
Yes you should consider all those things but I don’t have any guidelines for it. The best way to find out if something is working is to print it out.
Do I need an Apple pen to operate affinity Designer on iPad? Thanks!!!
You could use your finger but the apple pen is better IMO
Thank you Juna for the awesome content. I'm still watching your old videos and learning a Lotl (axolotl pun😅)
Thank you and thanks for the great pun!
Any advice on trademark ? Do you trademark a brand or items individually ?
I do not.... I think most t-shirt sellers are doing trademarks wrong... Trademarks are for a branding not for individual tshirt ideas. USPTO will trademark it for you and take your money but I believe it's really dumb. Soon every phrase in the english language will be trademarked.
I love A.D V2 i have been using it so much I will never go back to adobe affinity has my heart lol
So glad that AD is working for you. Thanks for sharing
also your teepublic link does not go to detourshirts
Thanks. I’ll have to fix that link

Thanks Juna. I learn so much from you. 👍🏻
Yes it translates to lucky cat. I used google translate but you can also use the new translate feature in Canva
@@DetourShirts Thanks Juna. Much appreciated.
Do you remove design background before uploading?
Yes... absolutely

Where did u get your mockups from
Placeit
You can you use those tag directories for MBA and redbubble to upload designs on there also?
The tags are what’s popular on TeePublic. They could work but it’s better to find what is actually working on the different POD shops themselves
@@DetourShirts Thank you!
IT was so much fun👍
Thank you. So glad you like it
Juna what do you 9 to 5 by the way ... is your day job very different ?
I’m a UX designer
Thank you
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this video, Please let me how can I contact you, I need your help.
This is a good way. I’m also on IG,Facebook and Twitter
