Reviews
It's a decent course on how to make relatively simple stickers. He starts off designing in Procreate, but switches over to AI to finish the stickers (probably to get vector versions). I don't have AI, so I would have to find some kind of online image upscaler or vectorizor or something, but I did appreciate the lesson. Would love to see an all Procreate version from start to print.
Awesome! Love the lessons and the how-tos. I don't have a cricut, so I'll just have to manually cut it by hand.
We're glad you enjoyed the Class! Good luck for your project, and thank you for sharing your review!
This class is easy to understand and it's also fun. My process was a bit easier, of course. I have a Brother Scan and Cut. Yeah, I have a Cricut too, but I wasted soooo much sticker paper. So I got a Brother SNC, I got the Illustrator Link they sell and installed that, so i can put registration marks on my stickers, make sure the cutline is outside of each one, but without the stroke being visible, then I hit print and transfer to machine! Illustrator sends the info RIGHT to the machine, I pop my FULL SHEET of stickers on the mat and put it in and retrieve which file I want from the machine and badda bing, badda boom. Full sheets right from Illustrator! I just needed to brush up on Illustrator and learn a bit of procreate. Thank You for this class!

Meet Bryan, a graphic designer who will teach how to create these motivational stickers.
This part will show you the software you will need and what will you learn in this class.
Bryan will give you a look into where he finds fonts and inspiration.
Sketching is very important as it guides art direction and saves you time along the way.
You will jump to Adobe Illustrator to set your workspace. You will learn how to set your tools and your colors.
You will slowly get your hands wet with Adobe Illustrator's basic shapes, pen tool, and more.
This lesson proves to be a fun way to continue your design as you discover tools and effects in making this complex sticker.
This will be a simple type of design. You will learn how to give it a good contrast as you layer some texts effects.
Discover more fonts in this segment of the class. Bryan will show you how to deal with color harmony and how to make sure the subject stands out.
You will make it quick as you are already familiar with the design. You will also make quick changes as you finish the design process.
Add outline to each sticker's design, finalize and check for errors. Export it as a PNG then prepare it on Cricut Design Space.
This lesson is actually the easiest of all! Upload the Sticker file to Cricut Design Space and print using the Epson ET-8550, and then, finally, the Cricut machine will do the cutting.
And, voila, you have your stickers! Bryan hopes you did learn something new and will be happy to receive any feedback to improve his content.
