EASY GRAPHIC DESIGN TOOL for Logo Design, Print on Demand, and Digital Products 👩🏻‍💻 Kittl Tutorial

About this video

In this sponsored tutorial, Hayes introduces Kittl, a free, web-based graphic design tool (no download required) she recommends for beginners with no design experience who want logos and branding assets, print-on-demand designs, or digital products without paying a professional. Designs can start from scratch or from templates, filterable by category such as t-shirt, poster or social media. She first edits a logo template into an imaginary ‘Summit Journals’ logo: replacing the business name and tagline, setting exact brand colors by code or via the document palette of colors already used in the design, adjusting opacity, changing fonts, using text transformations (circle, arch, wave, flag, or custom anchor points), and adding text effects including drop, line, block and 3D shadows plus decorations such as lines and color blocks. She replaces the template’s anchor graphic by searching Kittl’s elements (shapes, ornaments, illustrations, abstract shapes), edits the circular text, changes the background, and applies textures (grunge, paper, grain, wood, crack, marble, brick) — managing the layers panel to move a texture behind the text and setting background opacity to zero for a transparent logo before downloading. She then builds a fall t-shirt design from scratch around the phrase ‘October is my favorite color’ (which she found among fall shirts selling well on Etsy), combining decorated and plain text, arching it, and adding pumpkin, coffee cup and wheat elements recolored from the document palette, rotating and layering them, and browsing ornaments and abstract shapes for extras. For a shirt, she stresses making the background transparent (shown by the checkered pattern) before downloading, with size and DPI choices and file types: PNG or JPEG suggested for digital use, PDF or SVG for print. On pricing, the free-forever plan includes a commercial license but requires attribution (e.g. stating the design was created using Kittl), while the paid Pro, Expert and Business plans remove the attribution requirement and add high-resolution and vector exports, more projects and upload space, with team/branding features on the business plan.

Key takeaways

• Kittl is a free, web-based design tool aimed at beginners, usable for logos/branding, print-on-demand and digital products, starting either from editable templates or from a blank canvas.
• Customize templates thoroughly: change text, fonts, exact brand colors (using the document palette for cohesion), opacity, text transformations like arch/circle, and shadow and decoration effects.
• Use the elements library and textures (pumpkins, coffee cups, wheat, grunge, grain, brick and more), recolor them to match the design, and use the layers panel to place textures or stems behind text and graphics.
• For logos and shirt designs, set the background opacity to zero for transparency before downloading, and choose the file type by use: PNG/JPEG for digital, PDF/SVG for print.
• The free plan carries a commercial license but requires attribution crediting Kittl; paid Pro, Expert and Business plans remove attribution and add high-resolution/vector exports, more projects and storage.
