How Do I Design Merch in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:43 pm

There are a few things you need to take into consideration when designing merch in Photoshop. The first is the resolution of your design.

You need to make sure that your design is at least 300 DPI, or else it will appear fuzzy when printed. The second is the color mode; you’ll want to design in CMYK so that the colors print correctly. Finally, you need to be mindful of the bleed area; this is the area where your design will be cut off, so you’ll want to make sure that none of your important text or images are too close to the edge.

PRO TIP: This tutorial is for advanced Photoshop users only. If you are not an experienced Photoshop user, you may find this tutorial difficult to follow.

Once you have those things figured out, you can start designing! If you’re not sure where to start, there are plenty of tutorials online that can help you get started. Once you’ve designed your merch, simply save it as a PDF and send it off to be printed!

Designing merch in Photoshop is a great way to get creative and make something unique for your fans. Just make sure to keep those resolution and color mode considerations in mind, and you’ll be good to go!
