Hey guys, I know a lot of you are interested in the tee shirt or apparel niche. I dabble a bit in Amazon Merch and TeeSpring myself as well.

Now in the past I typically would hire a designer off Fiverr or Upwork to handle my designs. This is the first time I attempted to do my own design using both Canva and Gimp, two free programs.

I got my first shirt and there were two big mistakes. First the font and image on the shirt is placed way too low by a couple inches, it just doesn't look right.

Secondly, the image of the bread is out of scale with the writing on the shirt. 

Basically just a quick video to make you aware of these two things if your just starting to design your first shirt. First I would suggest placing your design as high up in the image box as possible, and secondly make sure your image is in scale with the size of the shirt and the font. 

If you're wondering what size design you need for Amazon Merch and most other platforms it's 5400x4500.
