Over App - How To Make A Design On Your Android Phone | Merch By Amazon

About this video

RJ Martinez shows how to make a Merch by Amazon t-shirt design entirely on an Android phone using the Over app, aimed at sellers who cannot afford or run Photoshop/Illustrator on a weak computer. He first checks Merch by Amazon Resources/Best Practices for product templates and sizing, using 4500 x 5400 pixels for t-shirts. He emails himself an illustration made by his outsourced illustrator, downloads it on the phone, opens Over (free/7-day trial, Pro noted at $9.99/month in the video), sets a custom 45 x 54 canvas, imports the penguin illustration, sizes/positions it, and adds text — ‘Merry Christmas’ curved, plus ‘Penguins Do It Better’ — choosing fonts from Over’s library or uploaded fonts. He saves/exports as PNG, emails it to himself, downloads it on his computer, and uploads it via Merch by Amazon’s Create/upload artwork flow. Throughout he stresses that simple, relatable, funny text-based designs sell well, bigger text is better on shirts, and sellers must verify fonts/graphics are licensed for commercial use and check sayings for trademarks to avoid bans.

Key takeaways

• Use Merch by Amazon’s Resources/Best Practices templates first; the t-shirt canvas demonstrated is 4500 x 5400 pixels.
• In Over on Android: set a custom size, import your illustration, size/position it with pinch gestures, then add and curve large text before saving as PNG.
• Email the finished PNG to yourself and upload it from a computer into Merch by Amazon’s Create flow rather than uploading from the phone.
• Simple, relatable or funny sayings can sell as well as elaborate art — test ideas quickly instead of over-polishing one design.
• Verify every font and graphic is cleared for commercial use and check phrases for trademarks before uploading, to avoid account bans.
