Easy & Simple Way 🤯 To Create T-Shirt Designs In Seconds Guaranteed With AI
About this video
Martinez — who claims over six years in print on demand and over $1 million in all-time sales, as his own claim — walks through an AI design workflow. First, brainstorm in Perplexity AI with a simple prompt for t-shirt ideas; it returned categories such as funny slogans, bold animal graphics, minimalist messages, vintage-inspired designs, cause/charity designs, hometown designs, food/drink designs and puns, plus 2023 trend ideas. He warns to be very careful with song lyrics or movie quotes. From Perplexity’s animal list (including sharks, big cats, flamingos, penguins, bears, raccoons, turtles and butterflies) he takes raccoons and butterflies into Midjourney, using simple prompts such as cute raccoons playing in the trash plus ’t-shirt design’ versus ‘sticker’ — noting one word can change the result, and ‘sticker’ tends to add an outline/background. He upscales or creates variations, then uses Pixelcut.ai to upscale an image (shown going from 1024 pixels to 1920 by 1920, with 2X and 4X options), remove the background, and download as PNG rather than JPEG. Finally he places the raccoon design in Printify — the unisex tee example cost $11.97 plus $5.19 shipping, average production 2.9 business days, front and back print areas, 11 colors — previews it on models, notes Printify can connect to Etsy, Walmart and Amazon and allows sample orders, and shows the design uploaded to Amazon Merch by Amazon, noting template sizes differ by platform. He says, as of the video, the platforms had not said anything against uploading these AI images.
Key takeaways
- Brainstorm with simple Perplexity AI prompts first, then carry only the chosen idea (e.g. raccoons, butterflies) into image generation
- Keep Midjourney prompts simple and test one-word changes: ’t-shirt design’ vs ‘sticker’ produces visibly different outlines/backgrounds
- Avoid song lyrics and movie quotes unless you are sure you are in the clear on the rules
- Use Pixelcut.ai to upscale (e.g. 1024 to 1920x1920) and remove backgrounds, and download the PNG file rather than JPEG
- Printify handles printing and shipping with no inventory; check each platform’s template size separately before uploading the same design elsewhere
