A J Wright | Designer + Illustrator on Instagram: "🛡️Scale to Fit Type Tutorial🛡️

SO, I know I’m always banging on about working non-destructively, but this technique is just too quick and effective not to share! 🎉

✨ Some Tips:
👉 It works with ovals, flags, and anything else you want to distort—without that horrible fish-eye effect on your type!
⚠️ It does have limitations since you’re working in a destructive manner, but hey, keep copies of your words and shapes so you can experiment without losing the original!

Hope you find this awesome little hack useful. Let me know what you think! 🤘

Aaron Laflin | Etsy Coach on Instagram: "Comment “Canva” to learn more about how I sell digital products on Etsy. 

Something like this only takes a couple hours to make and can make you hundreds of sales! 

Also, there’s sooo many more niches within digital templates to choose from. So don’t be worried if pregnancy/baby shower templates aren’t your thing.

Amanda Heath | Artist | Certified Business Mentor on Instagram: "Save this for later! 📌
⁠
Here are the 3 things you must do to prepare your artwork for print-on-demand (POD) 👇⁠
⁠
If you can, use a fine art print scanning company—if you’re photographing work yourself, a great DSLR with a full-frame sensor is ideal (top tip: rent the best one you can!)⁠
⁠
Optimise image quality by colour and ensure it matches the original. Don’t forget to correct any blemishes!⁠
⁠
Mockups can be created using apps such as Art Placer, Art Rooms, Canvy, and Smartist, but if you want all your rooms to be cohesive, you can also try Etsy room mockup bundles.⁠

Little Artists | Art Education Projects on Instagram: "Have you tried printing with craft foam? It’s a fantastic alternative to lino printing with small children. The results are fantastic and it’s a great way to bring printmaking to life in the classroom or home 🙌🏻 we have a step by step tutorial for this project in our online library, it’s called ‘The Printed Pot Plant’ and it’s available now.

James Martin on Instagram: "How to build a logo with a long name.

Working with long names can be a bit of a pain for a logo designer, especially when the name is the actual name of the person as you can’t get rid of anything.

The important thing is to focus on hierarchy and what’s the most important elements that need the viewers focus.

I knew that Reggie was going to be predominantly using his mascot, but his name needed to work as one layer that was together.

Bumping the word “photography” down to a sub heading allowed us a little more room to move.

We also locked this up in a badge style design which is also a great way to cater to long names.

Find a balance based on the clients application and you are golden.

Graphic Design & Murals on Instagram: "💸 Curious About Mural Pricing? Let’s Break it Down! 💸

Ever wondered what goes into pricing a mural? 🖌️ From small pieces to large-scale projects, each mural is unique, which means the cost can vary. Today, I’m sharing real-life examples of my past projects—each with its own story and budget! My standard rate is around $45 per square foot, with a $5k minimum to ensure quality and impact.

Fábrica de Texturas on Instagram: "¡Desde hoy vamos a dedicar el último finde de cada mes a artistas favos! Y hoy os enseñamos esta reproducción de esta obra del gran grabador mexicano José Guadalupe Posada 👌🏽. Fue un ilustrador nacido en Aguascalientes, México a mediados de 1800. A pesar de vivir una vida anónima sus dibujos de escenas costumbristas, folclóricas, de crítica sociopolítica y sus ilustraciones de «calacas» o calaveras, entre ellas La Catrina son parte de la cultura visual mexicana. 
Esta obra es “calavera revolucionaria” o “calavera Maderista”, representa un peón de la destilería y plantación de Maguey de la familia Madero. Posada retrataba la sociedad mexicana a través de sus dibujos de calaveras, consolidando así la fiesta de Día de muertos y contribuyendo a la cultura

Jessie | Root & Branch Paper Co. on Instagram: "Stickers are a huge trend right now and for good reason: they’re accessible, affordable, collectible, and fun. For YEARS I had people suggesting I sell stickers! I finally launched our sticker line after 3 years. Here’s why it took me so long:

〰️ Sustainability: I was not willing to produce vinyl stickers. There’s enough plastic in the world. I always try to REDUCE the amount of plastic used in my business. To create a product made entirely from plastic (even though everyone does it) goes against the heart of my brand.
