Sometimes I make a video and think to myself: "Why did I do it like that?? This is way too long!! I am not explaining the basics, just letting my head roam... Oh, my ADHD..." And then I make it live, and watch you guys on the live chat, and on the comments, liking this style and method (and length). So truly guys- thanks for an awesome live chat, and all your comments, you guys rock !! I have started my profile on Kittl- so you guys could re-design my templates and use them as well: kittl.pxf.io/MeyTemplates And as I make more videos using Kittl, the designs made in those would enter that profile so you can re-build them in your own style for your own print on demand journey. Again, thanks for watching, and see you in the next one ! (which is today:))
Not too long at all! Love the way you design. ADHD is something many creatives have in common, so your fans probably do things just like you. Makes it all the more relatable. :)
I really enjoyed this video, "my sister was like why can you just be free like her its so simple." and I'm in my head like, "ugh! why can't I just stop living in my head, stop doubting myself, and just do it." I love all your videos makes me think I can also do it...Long, short, medium still gonna love them. Thank you Mey. ❤❤
@@michelleannabel2302 I think you can do it too. I don't know you, or what you're struggling with. But I know that if I could say the hey with all my back problems and PTSD and start a business and travel to different countries to find a better life- anyone can ! It's about making a decision. It's hard. sometimes you un-make that decision, but you can always make it again the next day, or the next week. Also, my "freedom" in design and doing things comes from years of experience, and also- video editing LOL As sometimes I edit out a 30 minutes boring segment of me basically designing nothing. It's all about trying, and - practice makes faster. it also gets easier... Like a workout. Practice a design, practice a product, practice a platform, and not long after you'll find that the "try new things" muscle grew so big- you can now start anything !!
I took advantage of getting Kittl today for 50% off for the year. This video enabled me to finally learn just how cool Kittle is and how to use it. I could just hug you Mey!!! I wish I would have gotten it for my Valentines items on Zazzle...But now I know what I'm doing...Kittl is amazing!
Mey! So glad to see this video. I'm not sure how I came across it but, about 4 months ago I went in to play around with the program. I also talked to someone and gave my opinions about it and that's exactly what I said .. It's really fun! I just played around with a few things and with other things going on I forgot all about it. With the ipad now I'll have to check it out again, so ty for the reminder. ❤ I'm a follower now :) and saved the Ukulele, I LOVE that color pallet. I never think to use pink and green together lol Love the cupcake too 🧁
Pink and green are my all time favorite colors to combine, followed by pink and blue, and green and black LOL And yeah, kittl are super cool, I think it's all about just playing around there, clicking on everything, and I am super pumped to play around with them to create my Halloween merch for this year. And happy you like it here in the channel, try and catch a live chat, we are very friendly and usually talk about food LOL
@@MeyTribe I love all those colors. I'm using your Ukulele colors to design a sublimation tumbler for Halloween lol Grandma's goblins or something like that for me w/the kids names. I always forget about the live ones, I'm not getting any notifications on facebook from anyone or any groups for some reason. Sure can't rely on my memory 😂🤣 but I could sure do some talking about food!! lol
@@MeyTribe I meant to ask you, on the Ukulele, it wouldn't let me change the font wording. I tried everything, ungrouping, clicking, right click etc I wanted to keep the fonts you used but change words. Any ideas? hmm maybe have to pay? right now I'm playing for free until I get used to it.
@@kimburgy9687 I think you need to play around with your group settings to get notified when a new post is posted... Also with UA-cam- you need to subscribe + tell the app to notify you on new videos. Usually videos go live at 7PM here in Bulgaria, check out what it is in your time zone. I can also tell you that there will be one tonight, so that about 8 hours from now... :)
This @kittl tutorial was really exciting. What would you do if you couldn't afford Canva and kittl at the same time? What design tool would you choose?
Hmmmm OK... That depends on what I need it for. Cause I am using Canva for other things than Print on demand. I am using Canva to make the banners for UA-cam, for Instagram posts, for videos. I am using them when working on building websites for clients. However, they changed a bit in their seamless options, and designing tshirts with them became a bit boring... To me, and to look at. I also have Procreate which I LOVE. I think if I was starting POD now, (wish i would have seen this system and explored it before the video I made about how I'd start POD now..) - I would have given Kittl a bigger shot. Also- cause I know what they have in store for them, and also considering for POD- the mockups. Lacking on Kittl at the moment, on Canva they are very limited, but Place it has free ones. Also- Canva has a free version you can use, that will give you more benefits than the free version of Kittl, so maybe: Paid Kittl, free canva, and freebies from Place it and Creative Fabrica? Again, speaking if I were to do them for Print on demand, and had to choose. As really- I am only now starting to explore Kittl and already I kinda wanna use them for all my tutorials, as I feel like their text effects and flow vibe is much more native to me for print on demand.
You’ve converted me, Mey! Have looked at Kittl several times and dismissed it as being too “masculine” for me, and too focused on vintage text designs, however I’m now super excited to see how well it fits for feminine designs. Love watching you design while I pack my orders in the mornings and would love to see more of Kittl if you’re so inclined. Zazzle notebooks tomorrow???Bring it on! Luv ya, Mey! 😻💜
Opposite for me LOL I felt like those vintage items are too feminine LOL Vintage can be either, or. I guess. But there are so many things you can do with their platform that isn't just banking on templates. Happy you enjoyed this tutorial, can't believe people watched such a long one LOL Yup, just writing my "script" for today's Zazzle Notebooks video, and getting my creative juices with Kittl, designing so many of the notebooks, I think I will def stick with Kittl for a while.
@@MeyTribe yep, I love your long tutorial videos as I’m sure others do. Kittl is definitely cool and I’ve been thinking of designs all day….and notebooks. 😻
Hi! Thanks for all the wonderful content and info. I have just started Zazzle this year. I am having problems getting some of my designs to load. Do you have any advice as to what I might be doing wrong or I can look into to correct this. Thanks!
Loved this to pieces! The distort feature is so useful and allows extra fine tuning for typography designs. I already have a Pro Kittle Subscription but learned lots from this tutorial, Mey. Thank you so much for sharing your creative genius! :)
Honestly ? I am too obsessed with that feature myself !! Happy you liked the tutorial, I am also making one for today with Zazzle notebooks and their quality in Real Life. :) I even started my portfolio on Kittl to share the things I do so others can modify them :)
Congratulations in the class that you made for us it was awesome! Would like to know more about your experience doing print on demand design specially for creative fabrica or or all your other repositories that you do stuff with as a blind person is your recommendation especially the fact that all programs are so advanced like illustrator and they’re not accessible to the blind
I remember you commenting in the chat, and I feel like maybe intrusive to ask about the level of your vision problem? Maybe I'm not aware of new technology, but fully blind (from the people I know) don't really write much online. Without seeing I guess it can be hard to create a good design, though- I have heard deaf people compose music, so everything is possible. Illustrator and other programs by adobe are a mystery even to me being able to see. I guess maybe I am trying to understand a bit more about your specific situation... Cause when I have my blind-episodes, from FMS, I literally see black or too blurry that i just close my eyes, and basically turn off my tech. (but again, I never had any special equipment for the blind, as my episodes were under the FMS disease and not from my eyes- so the government never cared much for it to help me with these things).
Again, I hope you don't find my questions intrusive, I know it's weird having a random person online asking you about the extent of your health, but I felt like I need to understand it a bit more to give any valuable advice
Not sure I understand what you mean... I never used Illustrator, but I am guessing that if they have presets- you can use it there ? (i still don't understand what that would be for, especially in the context of this video... care to share?)
Well, that depends... if you take it from an artist- no. if you take it from a place like Creative Fabrica, where they sell coloring books for POD, or from other licenced sources- yes. If you are a member of creative fabrica- I have a class about that there: www.creativefabrica.com/product/creating-unique-print-on-demand-designs-using-coloring-pages/
I have been using Kittl and enjoyed your video. Re your tote bag design,-you kept the same text as the original. Is Kittl,ok with that.--in one of Kittl’s videos they request that the project title be changed to be different than the template.
I haven't watched the video yet and I'm sure Mey did great job going over Kittl. Take my advice(20+ yrs designer) if you take your store/business seriously, go learn how to design. Kittl is inspiring, use that to push your design work to the next level. Kittl designs are everywhere, changing the wording in the design is not designing...it's a knock off.
@@MeyTribe Finally watched it. My advice still stands. The artwork that you are choosing, come from designers. You almost said it, Kittl comes form Heritage Type. Learn to create your own imagery/elements for your design language/style. Let Kittl jump start that inspiration to do your own thing. I'm seeing Kittl designs everywhere, it's getting saturated. Build your own graphic library to pull from. On a daily bases, I create brushes, elements, I reach back into old designs that I have done to help a new design and so on. I've meet people that don't draw, but they do amazing digital modeling. I have meet people that can't model, but do awesome paintings.
@@TheFlydesign Yeah, it comes from a company that dealt with fonts... So- no one can use fonts made by others to create designs ? I do have my own graphics library, I make graphics myself all the time using Procreate, and I do add them to some of my designs. Maybe just not in this tutorial. I don't know if you see ALL of kittl designs, as I can create the SAME design on kittl, canva, procreate, and CSP. Maybe you're seeing designs that you know from Kittl... But if someone makes a text design with a widely known font- how can you know where it's from ? I was trying to show ability of a certain platform, including making my own text using their tool, I feel like you just choose to see what you wanna see. I'm sorry you feel that way, but comments about designers not making their own graphics - feels like you don't know me or haven't actually seen my illustrations which i show a lot here LOL Sorry to get you riled up. If you feel like you have your own way as an artist - that's awesome. Others like to use templates, or play around with fonts- and that's their right too. At the end of the day- to me, it's all about making a good product.
I have so many tutorials on this channel, including tutorials on Canva that you can also do with the free program... it depends on what is the product you want to design... which product is that ? Tshirts, for example, would require a PNG file with transparent background, which you'll need Canva Pro, or clean yourself if you have a mac... I also use Night Cafe for ai art designs, and they have free daily credits. There are so many options. I even had a video about starting POD for free: ua-cam.com/video/Oc_kSPwZVQo/v-deo.html You can also work with famous art pieces: ua-cam.com/video/P9rXEtoofiw/v-deo.html It depends on what you want to sell, what product :)
@@gasconypassion8957 Glad you like them :) There will be another design video with Kittl today, working on some notebooks from Zazzle and sharing their quality in real life :)
What shop did you set up? what items? How many have you got there? are they customizable by the audience? how do you market them ? Without knowing all these things- there's nothing I can do to help or anyway for me to give advice :(
