The Beginner's Guide to T-Shirt Design & Print on Demand Using Free Design Tools

via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this course, I am going to show you how to create t-shirt designs using free online design programs! I'm also going to show you a couple of print on demand companies you can use, for free, as well.

Whether you're looking to create a simple text design or something more elaborate and artistic, the good news is you have tools available - even if you're a total beginner!

You won't need any previous design skills to take (and succeed) in this course. You will only need a desire to learn something new, cool and interesting. You'll build your foundation starting now and only grow and expand on your skills from here on out.

This is exciting! You are in for a treat.

It can be daunting to learn a new skillset as a total newbie, so my job is to make this learning experience simple and fun so you'll feel elated and accomplished by the end of this course.

This is strictly a beginner's level design course.

There are a ton of other knowledgable instructors out there to teach you about how to market your designs and products to the public, so I'll let them be the ones to teach you that.

MY job is to get your creativity in gear and help you to go from "I have no idea where to start" to "Wow, - look what I've created!"
