Introduction

Hey, guys! Welcome back to another video with Angel B Designs. I'm Angel B, and thank you so much for watching. In today’s tutorial, I'll be showing you how to design a "bootleg" t-shirt using Canva Pro. This is a design that I often make for my son, who plays baseball, and I thought it would be great to share the process with you all.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Setting Up Your Canvas

• Canvas Size: Start by setting your canvas size to 13x19 inches. You can also use 13x17 or 13x15, but make sure the width is at least 13 inches for better scaling.
• Background Color: Since the t-shirt will be black, change your canvas to a black background.

2. Building the Background

• Gradient Circle: Go to the Elements tab and search for "red lightning." In the graphics section, select a red gradient circle.
• Lightning Bolts: Add lightning bolts from the same search. Position them around the circle to create a dynamic background.

3. Uploading Images

• Image Upload: Go to the Uploads tab and upload your chosen images.
• Background Removal: Use Canva Pro’s background remover to clean up the images.
• Positioning: Arrange the images on the canvas, and use the position tool to layer them appropriately. For example, send one image backward to make it appear behind another.

4. Editing Images

• Adjustments: Edit the images for color consistency. Use the "Adjust" settings and apply filters like "Sangry" to match the tones.
• Shadows and Outlines: Add black outlines to your images to create separation and make them stand out.

5. Adding Text

• Typography App: For text effects, go to the Apps tab and search for "type." Select "Type Craft" to create curved text.
• Font and Colors: Choose your font and apply red and white colors. Set your border width to personal preference.
• Curved Text: Use the curve feature to create upward and downward text effects.

6. Additional Elements

• White Lightning Bolts: Add more graphics like white lightning bolts. Position them behind the text to enhance the design.
• Starlights: Search for "white Starlight" and add these elements to the design for extra flair.

7. Final Adjustments

• Layering: Ensure all elements are properly layered and positioned.
• High-Quality Download: To download your design, go to the Share tab, select PNG, and toggle the size to the highest resolution. Make sure to check the Transparent Background option.

Conclusion

You can use this design for various purposes—concerts, different sports, or any other events. This personalized touch is something that my son appreciates, and I’m sure yours will too. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them below!
