  • @ChChCheckItsClan. please could i use this design for a hoodie in ireland? :)

  • @Kingofvids2 Pay us $500 and you're set. Lol jk jk!! We can't copyright you for something you make on your computer =)

  • can i do this on pictur so i dont have to do that background layer

  • @Hater999999999 Sure can! =)

  • You know what I think would be helpful... if you explain the reasoning WHY you would do something? Like when you first set up the background, with the gradients and you changed the sliders and added another slider. They all looked black, so I didn't really get why we would do that? Maybe I'm missing something from an earlier video?

  • @tabithav84 Well, they're not all black... The middle slider is a dark purple-ish color. So it makes a soft gradient for you to place your text on. It basically makes the whole thing more interesting because plain black backgrounds are boring =P
