wow i wish this was the official merchandising for miley's album because it's a thousand times better than what they actually came up with. i would buy one of everything.
I just wanna say, I've learned more about design and marketing strategy from your channel than I ever did in my years as a marketing major. You're a saint for sharing your huge brain with us all the time.
I've watched a few of your videos before checking out your website and realizing you did the freddie gibbs alfredo shirt... one of the cooler merch designs I've seen. I used to work at Vevo and you remind me of some of the designers who worked there with me -- I'm glad people who actually have industry experience are making these tutorials! Your professionalism really shows, and it's great to have younger people making tutorials compared to when I was learning photoshop in the 2000s. I appreciate you explaining your thought process behind everything instead of just recreating effects. It's a good channel, people!
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching George sitting on your desk like he does. I had a cat named Stifler for 15 years and he got sick a few years ago and I lost him. I miss him terribly, but I always love to see cats that look just like he did and that is definitely George!
You are one of my favorite content creators for a while now. I wasn't sure for a long time what I wanted to study and now I'm going to start studying graphic design! Your videos always inspired me and now I'm going to watch them even more for tips and tricks to help me in my future career path. Thank you for being so helpful and awesome!
ngl you worried me at first when you said you were going to put the tracklist on the sleeve, but then I immediately changed my mind once I saw what you did! Thank you for teaching us something new every time- not having the design take up the whole sleeve was a big brain moment for me lol
i can not stress enough how cool these are... it's so rare to find actually cool official merch from my fav artists and i wish your designs were the real ones 😫
ALSO the material most merch is printed on.. those thin ass cotton shirts that catch every piece of lint on earth and cling to every part of my torso.. BYE!!!
I absolutely love watching your channel as a concert photographer-seeing graphic design on a daily basis in music, it's so refreshing to see a channel on YT where design and music meet and are actually celebrated. Keep up the amazing work on your vids!!
I don’t know if you have already done this but it would so amazing if you did a video for high school students interested in pursuing graphic design and how to get started
Thank u for making me want to do graphic design things again. After an intership and university I felt that I wasn't good enough. Now i feel confident and inspired.
Hey, Kel! A question: what are the implications of photo rights when it comes to merch design (when the client doesn’t send the exact pics and you have to research yourself, as the vevo one)? Like the photographer, studio, etc. Also would looove to watch a video about how you usually prepare the files for production (color matching, halftone, paint selection, stuff like that) just an idea! Anyways loved both videos and thank you for all the great tips 💙
yaayy I was patiently waiting for this ever since you tweeted that poll! so fun and nice to watch your process and interpretation of miley's era! good work Kel!! oh also TWO VIDEOS AT ONCE!! KEL BE WORKING HARD AND GETTING EM COINS
The stamp tool was set to sample current layer instead of sample all layers or current and below. I make the same mistake all the time. Amazing designs! I wish I could actually buy that sweatsuit.
Oh I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it with your stamp tool thing, but you had the target set to "current layer". I believe there are options for "current + below" and "all layers" if you were wanting to grab images from lower layers
Wow, just realizing This is a Career Field. Merchandise Designer. I'm looking into this, plus I love any reason to do a presentation pitch and a moodboard:) thanks for sharing.
In the kaleidoscope design: If you move the top Miley to the bottom the image may more easily fit in a heart cutout? I think of hearts as bumpy/pointy up-side-down pentagons. Love your videos.
I think to remove the black background of a photo you better can use Blend if. That way you can choose how much of the black you will delete and how faded it will be. With blending modes there are not a lot of options.
Hi Kel, the reason your stamp tool didn't work on the separate layer is that in the settings of the Stamp tool (at the top where opacity, flow, etc. are) you had Sample set to Current layer. Change that to Current&Bellow or All layers and it will work :) You're a great designer btw, I love to follow your workflow.
i think for the stamp tool not working correctly, you had "sample current layer" selected! love the videos, theyre super helpful for my graphic design classes!
At 3:55 I heard the ghost of George Costanza yelling in my ear... "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!” Also, I adore the attached pamphlet/guide and your Pinterest ❤️❤️❤️
love these videos! a few questions: 1. i've heard that copyright can be an issue when creating moodboards.. is that a problem you've experienced pulling images from pinterest? ofc you're not selling the moodboard itself but i've seen other designers say if the moodboard is like publicly part of the brand design or is on your portfolio then that could lead to trouble... 2. are you ever willing to haggle your prices? if you send the client the deck and they go "that's a bit out of my budget are you willing to do it for X amount cheaper" would you discuss any wiggle room with them? or are you more like "these are my prices, end of story, take it or leave it"? thank you so much for these videos!! you're teaching me things i'm not sure i'll learn in my university classes :))
zero gatekeeping with your channel i simply love it
I love how industry-oriented this channel is! Anyone have any fav Procreate channels?
I gate keep here. No gatekeepers allowed.
Video idea no one asked for but I'd love to see ur take on: matching or giving celebrities a font type that matches their vibes/personality
i love this idea
Off-topic but Kel… your highlight is blinding me and I'm living for it
The "plastic hearts" san serif text paired with the hot pink color is giving me strong mean girls vibes
I think that style suits Mileys music style for some reason
wow i wish this was the official merchandising for miley's album because it's a thousand times better than what they actually came up with. i would buy one of everything.
Oh we eatin good tonight fellas
If you had Kel Lauren merch, I bet it would look sick!
merch that is also... a clothing line? hmmmm much to think about
I just wanna say, I've learned more about design and marketing strategy from your channel than I ever did in my years as a marketing major. You're a saint for sharing your huge brain with us all the time.
still haven't watched the whole video, but i'd definitely buy the first t-shirt! your videos make me want to go back to messing w photoshop
You should design is fun (:
We don’t want a redesigning Taylor Swift merch, we NEED IT

KEL'S MAKEUP..... i think im in love with them

this is the vibe. coming down from an anxiety attack right when kel uploads. love you
Okay but your kaleidoscope design on a phone case. The moment.
Dude, you can put more ad rolls we won’t mind =)
Get the bag sissss

We love the double uploads and long videos 🙌🏾‼️
youve had such a style glow up since i started watching your vids and im loving it :))

the font for plastic hearts on the hoodie rlly reminded me of the board game clue maybe thats why it has the vintage kinda feel

Hey! I was wondering if you could link your Pinterest boards in the description? I love your style, and would love to see them for some inspiration! 😁
@@angelicacatherine5840 Thanks! I probably should have checked there first.

love this video! i appreciate you generously sharing your design process, as well as your vibey lighting, makeup, and the george appearance. xx

Your bangs looks so cuteeee!

Hey Kel! You have to “grab” the stamp image first, click the second layer and then you can stamp. (Unless you did do that, hard to tell)
It wouldn’t be a Kel video without them using a puff on the text
LMAOOOO
Do they use they/them pronouns? I am new to the channel
@@webster4549 they use they/them pronouns, i believe! it’s in their insta bio :)
@@huhwhatno777 thank you :)
Just finished my graphic design degree yesterday and woke up to 2 of Kel's videos. Life is good!
props for uploading both parts at the same time loveee
omg you are feeding us with content today!!
Every time I see you design something I just wish you would sell it because it always looks so cool💜 omg especially the Pink crewneck🥺
As a designer myself I must say you have great understanding colour and type : you show great adaptability, keep up the great work !
yaayy I was patiently waiting for this ever since you tweeted that poll! so fun and nice to watch your process and interpretation of miley's era! good work Kel!! oh also TWO VIDEOS AT ONCE!! KEL BE WORKING HARD AND GETTING EM COINS

I loooove the "kill the cop in your head" poster you made, it's awesome
I feel like a halftone texture would have been great on some of these designs
and maybe some glint/glow effects on the second design with the multiple heads
halftone takes away from the ~authentic~ vintage look and makes it more of the modern printed vintage they spoke of
@@nickqtv I was thinking like if the edges were dispersed into a halftone like texture rather than the entire image
It’s too late were I live right now, but I will leave my like now because I already know this is going to be another amazing video as usual
Well i guess imma be here for the next 46 minutes. Not complaining tho
incredible shirt creation
Wow, just realizing This is a Career Field. Merchandise Designer. I'm looking into this, plus I love any reason to do a presentation pitch and a moodboard:) thanks for sharing.
I would love to see how you do your lighting setup!! I’m obsessed
LMFAO I THOUGHT THE PENCIL IN THE THUMBNAIL WAS A TAMPON
wouldn't be the first time
wow i really love the direction u went in this video! you really inspire me
I'm majoring in digital arts and your videos are so helpful for seeing what this type of job is actually like so ty!! :)
WHAT HIGHLIGHT ARE YOU WEARING
right?????? i NEED to knowww
its poppingggg
when george popped in all my attention went straight to him and i had to replay that part to see what you were doing
something about these design videos just makes me feel so calm
i love these educational videos!! bring on more :) the content you produce is exquisite
I’m living for everything you’ve created here, so amazing and you’re so talented!
Please please please do another makeup video!! I love your makeup and wanna know what products you use :>
this is my fav video of kel!
And with the clone stamp you had the option above where it said "Current layer" You can choose I think all layers or Current and below.
Every time you create awesome merch for an artist or influencer I always want them to watch your videos and want you to do their merch
if you want a really good mock up pack for tees hoodies sweats etc.. look up reno studios! his blanks have helped me with a lot
I always love your videos so much! Side note I am absolutely obsessed with this makeup look.
your videos are like watching a masterclass, thank you!! ♥
In the kaleidoscope design: If you move the top Miley to the bottom the image may more easily fit in a heart cutout? I think of hearts as bumpy/pointy up-side-down pentagons. Love your videos.
I think to remove the black background of a photo you better can use Blend if. That way you can choose how much of the black you will delete and how faded it will be. With blending modes there are not a lot of options.
idk if you figured it out but for the clone stamp tool change your sample to current and below (or all layers)! also love this so much

i think for the stamp tool not working correctly, you had "sample current layer" selected! love the videos, theyre super helpful for my graphic design classes!

Back to back posts i fell spoiled

At 3:55 I heard the ghost of George Costanza yelling in my ear... "WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!”
Also, I adore the attached pamphlet/guide and your Pinterest ❤️❤️❤️

soooo pretty!!! the album is so good too
Take a shot everytime Kel says cool😂
On a serious note, wonderful video!
ahaha yes i was thinking the same!! just so you know, they use they/them pronouns! :))
@@sarahann7023 oh sorry i slipped up! I'll correct it!
@@sarahann7023 is it fine if i use their name?
@@snehatandri8982 yea i think so!! no big deal- just wanted to remind!
@@sarahann7023 alright thank you!
I love this kind of music merch videos so much!!✨
Omg the 2nd on a poster!!! Would be sick
i always feel better after watching you :) thanks!
i love ur merch designing videos!
The way George sits with them while they work🥺
That first shirt is so doooooope
This is the content that keeps me going when I feel burnt out on the pays-the-bills work.
love these videos! a few questions:
1. i've heard that copyright can be an issue when creating moodboards.. is that a problem you've experienced pulling images from pinterest? ofc you're not selling the moodboard itself but i've seen other designers say if the moodboard is like publicly part of the brand design or is on your portfolio then that could lead to trouble...
2. are you ever willing to haggle your prices? if you send the client the deck and they go "that's a bit out of my budget are you willing to do it for X amount cheaper" would you discuss any wiggle room with them? or are you more like "these are my prices, end of story, take it or leave it"?
thank you so much for these videos!! you're teaching me things i'm not sure i'll learn in my university classes :))
Okay come through highlight 😍
that first tshirt? incredible
TWO VIDEOS??? guess i’m not studying tonight :D
Can you do a video on mockups and a video on your design process?
pleeeease do a mockup video!
Your expression when you hear the motorcycle cracks me up all the time! 😂😂
i need that shirtttttt
You had such a cool idea with the vignette on the photo I'm bummed you didn't even try it.
your makeup looks gorgeous in this video
