Description

Adobe Illustrator for Merch by Amazon is an Illustrator course for creating graphic designs for Amazon's newest platform for content creators, Merch by Amazon. This course is aimed at the beginner and those new to Adobe Illustrator, as such this course runs at a slower pace, and explains the process in detail.

As this course is designed for the Merch by Amazon platform, you will learn how to customize the Illustrator interface and save the layout with only the tools you need to complete the course and avoid distractions. This custom layout will be available to you every time you open Illustrator, so you can quickly get to work making your Merch by Amazon designs.

Some of the hottest selling t-shirts are just designs with simple text or a basic graphic with text. In this course, students will learn how to create this type of design from beginning to end. Once a student completes this course they will know how to create a file with Amazon’s required image requirements (dimensions and resolution) and know how to get it uploaded to the Merch by Amazon website.

With this custom workspace, this course will show you how to quickly get started importing graphics and creating and manipulating that image with text. Before you complete the course, you will preview your creation with different colored backgrounds to see what your design would look like on different colored t-shirts.

Who this course is for:

  • Take this course if you need the basics on Adobe Illustrator for creating t-shirt designs
  • This course is aimed at the beginner who is new to Adobe Illustrator
