In this course, you will learn the entire process from designing your original product to merchandising and running your own business. We will go over all the techniques required in between, such as conceptualizing, gathering references/research materials, finding inspirations, catering for your designs to merchandise, presenting your product idea, and more. Designing for products, such as shirts, notebooks, hats, bags, is very different from designing for prints. We will go over how to work with various mediums and think outside of the box to make yours stand out from everyone else.

Yes, I know. Coming up with new ideas can seem daunting and difficult. However, when you start developing concepts with details and memorable moments from your daily lives, this process suddenly becomes personal and exciting. Once this becomes personal, you know that you are creating the designs that only you can do.

By the end of this course, you will start to find inspirations for your next products from everywhere. With all the knowledge and techniques to transform those sparks into concept arts and insights to turn those into products, you will have personalized items and a new business idea to start.

During the class, I will go over both Procreate and PaintTool Sai. You won't be required to have both tools, since I'm only covering both to work on more product files to give you better idea about product design. However, it's recommended to have at least one of those tools.
