You’ve created your amazing AI art. Now what? If you want to turn that image into a t-shirt, hoodie, or sticker and make some money off of it, you need to design something that people are actually going to like and buy! Here are a few tips on how to design clothing merchandise using your AI art. 👗
Market Research is Key
First of all, do your market research. 🔍 Look at popular designs in the niche you’re targeting and ask yourself what makes these designs popular? Why do people like them? Taking the time to do market research is essential for creating merchandise that will actually sell. 🛍️

Design Away!
After all that hard work researching the market, it’s finally time to get creative! Make sure your designs look like something people would actually love wearing - after all, isn't that why we're doing this in the first place? Play around with different color combinations until you find something that looks great and stands out from other similar products in the market. With AI art as your base, the possibilities are endless!
Upload Designs for Print-on-Demand Merch
Once you have a good design, upload your AI Art image to a printing hub like Printify. If your design is an AOP (all-over print) make sure the design is upscaled enough so it looks great on t-shirts and hoodies. 👕
We tested out several AI upscalers, and we have a favorite. 🏆 Gigapixel AI by Topaz Labs is by far our favorite upscaler, and we use it on a regular basis.
Also, if you’re using a design with a transparent background, make sure you’re using either a PNG or SVG format when uploading it on Printify. 🎨
AI art can be used as an amazing foundation for creating unique fashion merchandise designs that stand out from other products in the market. ⭐ Market research can help give you an idea of what kind of designs people are looking for so you can create something they will love wearing! 💃 With quality AI art as your base and some creativity sprinkled in there too, no doubt customers will be clamoring for more of your cool designs! 👏
