1. Intro - What Will This Class Teach You?: Hello, my name is Tanya. I'm a professional illustrator with over 20 years experience. I run a successful business selling digital stickers and GoodNotes sticker books. And in this course, I'll teach you the tricks of the trade. So you can do the same. I'll teach you how to create your very own high-quality digital sticker pack and how to create a good notes digital sticker book that you can offer your customers to help grow your digital sticker sales will cover working with both vector and raster files using Photoshop, illustrator and procreate. So by the end of this class, you'll be ready to start creating your own digital stickers using the program you are most comfortable with. This class assumes you have a basic working knowledge of either Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, and are proficient using the basics and GoodNotes for those who want to create digital stickers using Procreate. This class assumes you have a basic working knowledge of that app as well. If you're looking for a class to teach you the process from start to finish on how to create digital stickers and GoodNotes sticker books. Then join me in class and let's have some fun. 2. Your Art vs. Purchased Clipart: There are so many artists out there that cell there are digitally. So if you don't have the skill or time to create your own art for making digital stickers, I recommend looking for artists to sell their art commercially. Etsy is a great place to look. There are lots of talented artists in that community who offer commercial licensing options that include digital use. Oftentimes they will want you to adjust the artwork from its original state by adding words or other art to their art to create your own image. But some don't even ask you to do that anymore. Just be sure to read the terms of use before purchasing so that you don't get stuck with art, that you can't use the way you want to. If their terms of use are not clear, send them a message asking to clarify. That way you have in writing, clarify terms of use. If you are creating your own art than the sky's the limit with how you use it. We're going to go through the next few lessons with both vector and raster art to show you how it can be formatted for digital use in a sticker pack and then import it and format it into a good note sticker book. 3. Sticker Backgrounds: In the real-world, printed stickers have a background to allow for a cutter to kiss cut around an offset margin of space around each sticker design. That way it doesn't cut into the design of the art as the blade cuts around the sticker. So in digital sticker creation, the question is, should there be an offset? So it looks like a printed sticker? Or should there be no offset? So the digital artwork can look more like it is flushed with the page here putting it on, really the choice is yours. For retro style stickers. That might be a really cool effect. For other styles stickers that might look really tacky. So it depends on the style of sticker. And if you're going to sell it, what you think your customers will prefer. You can see here I have an example of a sticker with an offset background and one that does not have an offset background. I primarily sell my planners stickers, both printed and digital. One day, I decided to do a poll with my customer base, asking them which they preferred. It was almost unanimous that nobody wanted a white offset background behind the sticker. So that is how I make are stickers. And that is what I'm going to teach you in each of the three programs we use in this course. That doesn't mean you won't have a white background at all. But I'll get into explaining the details of that in the next lesson. 4. Create Digital Stickers in Photoshop: So let's begin with our artwork in Photoshop and start the simple steps to turn it into a digital sticker. First, we need to think about the sticker background from our previous lesson. We discussed if we should or shouldn't have an offset background. But that's not the background I'm talking about here. If we take a look at this artwork, this white background, it looks great. However, if I go and turn this background off, we can actually see completely through some of these areas. If someone was going to put this in there planar, it would show background lines and shapes and start to look really bad when laying out the digital planner page. To make high-quality digital stickers, we need to create a white background just around the part that we don't want to be transparent. Now you can use just a simple pen tool and draw around the image. Just be sure to put it behind your image on the Layers panel. For the sake of time, I did that here. You can already see what a difference. The image looks much more clear. And now we know you're going to drop that into a planner. You're not gonna see lines and text and where it's coming through our image. Another thing we can do to create high-quality digital stickers and Photoshop is to pay attention to the Canvas size. In comparison to the artwork itself. I could just turn off this white background layer like we did before. And I could just export it as a ping. However, if I do that, the customer is going to get this huge container box around the sticker that they now have to have to deal with. They're going to have to crop it in the graphics program or crop it in GoodNotes. So leaving that box makes the customer experience super frustrating and GoodNotes As they won't be able to easily tap the art moving around that box, even though it's clear, it's going to overlap other items and their digital planner, which is then going to again forced them to crop each image themselves inside of the app. So let's save ourselves and our customers the hassle and do this little Trim Paths step. It's so quick and easy. And it'll just make such a better experience for everyone who's using these files. It's also a nice advertising point because you can say you are truly selling pre cropped stickers. So to do that, we want to make sure that we have our background layer turned off. And we have our image here with the white background that we drew just around the image. And then we want it to go up to image and then choose Trim. And then we're gonna get this little pop-up box here. And it's going to ask you a few questions. What you wanna do is choose based on transparent pixels. And you wanted to trim away the top, bottom left, right. So what we're telling Photoshop is wherever you see transparent pixels that are passed, our image, get rid of them. We don't want them. They're making this image way too big. We don't need them. So we're going to click Okay. And then we can see it has now cropped it just to the edges of our image, so we didn't even have to sit there and phosphates the crop tool to try to make that happen. We just use the trim paths. And it did it for us. Now because these are digital stickers that will be used for planners. We don't need the image to be super large. Usually around one inch is more than enough to do what you wanna do with the image in a digital planner. So let's bring the file size down. We're going to go up to Image, choose Image Size. And we're going to choose 300. And we're going to leave the resolution at 300, which you might think, wow, that's really big for something that's going to be digital. Usually when you do things that are 300 ppi, you're using this for print. But with the sticker packs that we sell, we actually allow our customers to use them inside of silhouette studio or cricket design space. And so we want to make sure that if they do plan on printing the images, that they're gonna get crisp images. So the kids that we sell, we sell them with a 300 PPI or DPI. But if it's going to be something that's digital and you only want to use it for digital. Or if this is for personal use, you could set this to 150 and you'd have more than enough clarity to your images. I'm going to leave this how I've got it set and then choose, Okay. And it's going to bring my image size down. It's going to bring my file size down. And anytime you can save on file size, it's a win when you're creating digital stickers. So then the next step is just to export this as a PNG and save all of your images individually by following the same steps and put them into a single folder. If you want to know how to create digital stickers and illustrator and procreate. Move on to those lessons. Otherwise, you can just jump ahead to the terms of use lesson. 5. Create Digital Stickers in Illustrator: So let's begin with our artwork in Illustrator and start the simple steps to turn it into a digital sticker. First, we need to think about the sticker background. We've already discussed if we should or shouldn't have an offset background. But that's not the background I'm talking about here in Illustrator. If your artwork has transparency areas, that means when you import this digital sticker into your planner, it's going to show the background lines and shapes and start to look really bad when laying out the digital planner page. Let's show an example. Here. I have my clip art. I want to use as a sticker. And you can see all of these background lines are showing up. So it's really not a great experience. So in order to make high-quality digital stickers, we need to create a white background just around the parts that we don't want to be transparent. So for this example, we can see that the screen, it's going to need a white background. If this image was just of the people, likely we would want to make a white background for their mouth as well. So in Illustrator, you can use the pen or pencil tool to draw the white background area and just send it to back. Or for this example, I can just grab the shape, change the color, and send it to back. Now if we take a closer look at the artwork, we can see that the white background looks great and it's ready to export. If we put it up next to the planner example. Now we can see the difference. Much better sticker for your digital planner. Unlike raster art vector has a lot less steps in getting the art just right for digital stickers. So let's move into the next step. Because these are digital stickers, we don't need the image to be super large. Usually around one inch is more than enough to do what you want with the image in a digital planner. For example, if I show this planar example here, you can see this sticker is just way too large to begin with for any type of digital planner. So what we're gonna do is just scale it down to just about one inch. Zoom in so you can still see it. This also helps keep your file size down, which is important. Make sure that you have grouped all of the elements that are part of this image together so that it is a single unit. Because this is going to make the next step go much more smoothly. Now this image is ready to export as a PNG. I love the asset export tool in Illustrator. And it is the number one reason why when I create art in procreate, I bring it into Illustrator to crop and resize it. Just because I can use this tool, it saves hours of time when you need to save up a bunch of individual images. To get that open, we're going to go up to Window and choose Assets, Export. It's going to open up a panel here on your right. So now we just want to select the image or the images that you want to export. You want to drag it over to the asset export tool. You can see it has populated here in the top-left corner. Then we need to set the PPI. I usually set mine to 300, which generally is only used for print. So you might wonder why on earth would we be choosing that option? Well, in the sticker packs that I create, they come with permission to use it in silhouette studio or cricket design space. Which means our customers will likely be printing out their digital stickers and running them through a cutting tool. So by giving them art that is 300 ppi, they can have the best quality print from the sticker file. But if you only want to offer the art to be used digitally, or if you're just going to use this for your own personal use, then you can set this to just 150 PPI. Once we have all of our images and the Asset Export Tool, then we are ready to choose the Export button. That's up to you. You can either leave these named as asset 1234 or you can change it just by tapping in here, clicking in here, and changing the name to whatever you want it to be named as. I personally don't individually update all the all the names. I just leave it as it is. Just saves a lot more time. So now we are ready to export. So I'm going to make sure that that is selected image in the corner. Now, if I had, let's say five images in here, I would want to select all five before I click Export. Because with the Asset Export tool, whatever you have selected in here is what is going to export out as a ping for you. And this is a real time saver, because if we didn't have this tool, you would have to do this individually one by one by going up to File and then exporting your image. However, you need to export it in the format, you need to export it. And that is very time-consuming. But with this tool, you just drop them all in here, change your settings once, and then choose Export. Once I click Export, then it's going to open up my file folder menu. And I can just simply choose the name of the folder that I want to drop my images in and then keep them in that folder for future use. And that's it. Now you have all of your digital stickers and a single folder ready for use. If you want to know how to create digital stickers in Photoshop or Procreate. Simply watch those lessons. Otherwise you can jump ahead to the terms of use lesson. 6. Create Digital Stickers in Procreate: So let's begin with our artwork in Procreate and start the steps to turn it into a digital sticker. You can see I have a bunch of images in this file ready to go. So the first thing I want to do is remove the white background. Now we need to think about the individual sticker background. We've got some transparency with these images. Which means as a digital sticker. If your customer brings that image into their planner, It's going to show the background lines and shape of the planter boxes and start to look really bad when they lay out the digital planner page. So in order to make high-quality digital stickers, we need to create a white background just around the parts that we don't want to be transparent. We can do that here in Procreate or Photoshop or Illustrator. Whatever program you're most comfortable with, I recommend using for that step. I prefer to create my white backgrounds in Illustrator. So I'm not going to draw a background layer of white for these images here. Let's arrange our artwork so that you can pretty much draw a clean box around each image without capturing the images next to them on your art board. You'll see why in the next few steps. Now, let's export the file as a ping. We're going to separate out each image and go from there. You can export the PSD layers directly into Photoshop if you prefer, and then follow the steps in the Photoshop lesson of this class. For this lesson, we're going to use Illustrator instead because I want to draw my white backgrounds in there. And it has that awesome asset export tool that saves so much time with file saving and exporting. I've got my ping from procreate now open in Illustrator. But all of the images are connected as one large image. And that's not what we want. Yes, you could save each layer with each image on it in Procreate individually, and then open up each individual file in Illustrator. But you're going to have to do the next step I'm about to show you regardless. So it's a lot easier if you just arrange your artwork like we did earlier in Procreate so that no art is touching. And so that you can get a clean box drawn around each one. And then I'll show you in the next few steps why that's so important and how much time it's actually going to save you. So we're going to just copy this image and I'm going to paste it into AI file. This is where I'm going to complete the next steps of turning my Procreate images into digital stickers. So once I've copied and pasted it into illustrator file, what I wanna do is duplicate it and then set the duplicate image aside. You can do that a couple of different ways. You can either hold down Alt and just drag it over, or you can just hit Control C, Control V and make a copy. However, it is easier for you, it doesn't matter, just make sure that you have a coffee and that you set it aside. Then we want to left-click the image. And you'll see at the top of Illustrator, there's this option to crop the image. And so we want to select Crop Image. And illustrator always gives you this little image crop bounding box. And it's never exactly where you want it to be. So don't worry, it's not a big deal. We can just adjust it with a little bounding box edges here. So I'm just going to fill in and we're going to just crop out this little journal. So you can see why it was so important that the images did not overlap. Because we need to get a nice clean crop around the image. And if you have artwork that might have like maybe it infringed on this little corner here. That's gonna be part of this image now, and that is not what we want. So we definitely want to picture that we do the pre-work in Procreate. So that way our art doesn't touch and we can get nice clean crops inside of Illustrator. So that looks good. I tried to get it as close to the edges as possible and I'll explain why in a little bit. This is when you actually do want to take the time to just make it as as close to the edge as possible. It makes such a much better customer experience. Or even if you're using your stickers for personal use, this will just make your life so much easier with your dailies degrees. I like that. I think that looks really good. So now we're going to press Enter. You can see I have just this one image and everything else disappeared. So what we did was we cropped out just that one little piece and everything else is gone. But we don't need to worry because we made a duplicate over here. So we can still get the rest of our images just by making another copy of that image file and then choosing crop image. And then repeat the steps again this time I think I'm going to grab this little pink journal up here. I really liked these journals. I think they're super cute. I wish I could find them in real life that had covers like this, kind of hard to find for some reason. Then I'm going to clean it up and get it as close to the edges as you can without cutting into that work. And then when you're done, press Enter. Now we have two separate images that we can turn into digital stickers. You can see where this is going. It starts to get kind of repetitive because then you make another copy of the image again, choose crop, and then adjust it to where you want to crop and then hit Enter. So you're gonna wanna do that with every single image in that ping to separate all of the digital stickers that you want to make. We're going to repeat that until we get everything separated out. And then let's move on to the next step here. It cancels. I can move on to the next step and show you where we're at. So now I've got some images, separate it out. I've cropped them out from everything else. And they look like they're good to go. But this is where we want to talk about image backgrounds. So I drew these and procreate. I used, I think a marker brush. And it looks really awesome. It looks great here. But if I was going to take this and drop it onto a planner page, I'm going to have some results, results that I don't want. So for example, let me just drag this over here. And you can see there's some transparency in that image. So if I were to take that, Let's say I dropped it onto this planner page. You can see right through it. It's not going to be a great experience. That sticker is just gonna be terrible because you want it to have a nice white clean background. So that's what we're gonna do, is we're going to go back and we're going to put white backgrounds on these. Now, of course, you can just use the pencil tool or the pen tool to just simply trace around the image itself and then just send the white image to the back. And so that's what I've actually done. Save you guys more time in watching the video. You can see I just have a white background here that I dropped in behind it. And now if I grab that and drop it on our planner page, you can see it looks so much better. You can't see through. There's no lines by the sticker is still looks super cute. And now it can be used anywhere. You want it to be on that planner page. Let's move into the next step. So now that we have our little books drawn backgrounds. And do that, go back. So we have all of our books here that we want to export, want to create stickers out of these. As I said, I drew a white background for the bucks, but they're not combined together. And that's something that's really important for the next step. We're going to group all of these together to make sure they all have their white backgrounds that looks really good. The way back in, they're all grouped together. The reason why is because we're going to move into using this asset export tool here. If you don't see this panel up on your screen, simply go up to Window and then come down and choose Asset Export. This is by far one of my most favorite tools in Illustrator. And it is the number one reason why when I create art in procreate, I bring it into Illustrator to Crop and Resize, just so that I can use this tool because it literally saves hours of time when you need to save a bunch of individual images. And if you're creating a digital sticker pack that maybe has like 50 to 100 images. That's a tremendous amount of time that you're going to save by using this tool. So once you have your images good to go. Which actually looking at these, these are very, very large for a planner, so we're going to scale them down first. Anytime you can get your file sizes down, it's a win. So we're going to scale these down. They're still a little bit big. I like to scale them down to right around one inch because that gives you more than enough size to use an additional layer that looks much better. Okay, so now we've got these at the right size. So what we wanna do is just grab them and left-click and drag and drop them into the Asset Export Tool. And you can see there's a little coffee here inside the tool. And you can change the names if you don't like it saying asset to you could call it book one or whatever you want to call it, you can change them all in here. I personally don't go through the time it takes to change all of those because I mean, let's be honest, I've had kids that have like over 200 stickers on them and that's a tremendous amount of time to change it. And it's not a really big deal with the filename is called, Especially when you're importing it, It's good notes. No one's going to see that anyways, so I saved myself a little bit of time there. So once you've, you're happy with this, then what you wanna do is come down here and adjust your PPI. So I always set mine to 300, which is generally only used for print. So you might wonder why on earth would anyone choose that option for this? But for me, in my business, I sell sticker packs and they come with permission to use them in silhouette studio or cricket design space. That means that my customers will likely be printing out their digital stickers and running them through a cutting tool. So by giving them art that's 300 ppi, they can have the best quality print from the sticker file. Now, if you're just going to be using these for personal use, or if you have no interest in letting anyone print them, then you can just change this to 150 PPI and that should be just fine. So now that we have all of our images in the Asset Export tool, we want to make sure that we select them all. Because if you just select, let's say these two, then asset for an asset five will not come in. They have to be selected for it to export as one group into the folder. So once you're happy with everything, you're naming convention, you've got your settings, you have everything selected. Then you want to choose the Export button. And then it's going to pull up a folder and you can choose whatever location you want to export it in. And then just choose Select Folder. And then it's going to tell you that you've exported it successfully. That is it. Now you have all of your digital stickers in a single folder ready for use. If you want to know how to create digital stickers in Photoshop or Illustrator, simply watch those lessons. Otherwise, you can jump ahead to the terms of use lesson. 7. Why Have Terms of Use: If you're planning on creating digital stickers and GoodNotes sticker book files for sale. Having a terms of use file that you add to your file package is good because it helps protect your files from being used in a way that you do not approve of. In this document, you want to clearly explain file use management and sharing. Think as a customer and write down any answers to usage questions you come up with. Doing this not only makes it easier for your customers to understand your terms of use, that also helps reduce the number of customer inquiries you'll receive for that product, thus saving you valuable time on handling customer service inquiries. Here's an example of mine. Of course it's missing all of my branding because Skillshare does not allow us as instructors put our branding in here. But you can see that I currently don't allow commercial use of any of my digital sticker kids. I do sell commercial clip art, but that is an entirely different product altogether, and therefore comes with its own Terms of Use file based on the commercial license the customer has chosen. So if you're going to be selling your digital sticker pack, it's fast to take out a little time now to write up those terms of use. 8. Finalizing the Digital Sticker Pack: So you've saved all of your individual image files into a single folder and you've written up and created your terms of use file. Now you're ready to package it up for sale. Simply select the folder with the images in it. And your terms of use file. Right-click, choose Send to compressed. This sips the file so that you can upload it to your Etsy store or website. Use your images to create a nice cover photo, advertising your sticker pack, write up a nice product description and you're good to go. Congratulations. You just created your very own high-quality digital sticker pack that will set you apart from your competition. For those who also want to create or offer their customers are good notes sticker book. Join me in the next lesson. And let's use these images we created to make our own GoodNotes sticker buck. 9. Create a GoodNotes Sticker Book Template: In order to create a good note sticker book that looks awesome and works great. You'll want to create a sticker book template. You can see my example here, of course minus our branding because Skillshare doesn't allow us as instructors to share our branding info. I've built mine here in Illustrator, but you can create it in Photoshop, breathe in Procreate if you prefer. All three programs allow you to export as a PDF, which is what you need to do when you're finished designing it. I like to create a sticker book cover page, which is what this first page is here. And then I like to add a really large sticker to the front of it. And that way it makes it a lot more obvious what the sticker book contains. And it makes it easier for customers to find the sticker book when they're searching through all of the GoodNotes files. So I have just it's just a regular Ping of some artwork that I drew. Then just, it makes a cover page a lot more attractive. Now here's a pro tip. So let's say we're going to use different cover art. You can see that although it's cute, I really liked this one. It doesn't match any of the colors that are in this template. So pro tip is matched the template colors to the color of the artwork that's in your sticker set. And it will look like a more polished and professional package that you're going to sell. The second page is where? Up here? There we go. The second page is where the digital stickers will live. The nice thing is, because these are PDF pages, you can actually hyperlink your URL right from your GoodNotes book, thus helping to increase website traffic and generate more direct sales of your products. Once you're happy with the design of your template, then just save each page as its own PDF file. Good nodes allows you to import PDFs directly into their app. So if you're making a really simple sticker book, then you can just move on to the next lesson. For those who wanted to see how I format my sticker bucks, keep watching. And let's move to the next couple of steps. So I prefer to combine my sticker book pages and Adobe Acrobat. And here's where I can also create the hyperlinks. So let me show you really quickly how you can do that in case it is helpful to your business. I'm going to choose File Create, and I'm going to combine files into a single PDF. Choose Add Files. My files here. It's going to give you a little preview of what those pages look like. And as I showed earlier, we had two pages, right? We had the cover page for our sticker book and then we had the page where the stickers are actually going to live inside of GoodNotes. So I'm just going to combine these two pages here as you can see a little bit better. And then here's my second page. In here is where you can create your links to your website. If you want to do that, than simply go over to Edit PDF. And then up here you'll see it says link. And then choose Add or Edit, web document or link. Then it gives you the little crosshairs. And then all you do is just left-click and drag and select the area that you want to be your link. I always choose invisible rectangle because we don't need ugly rectangles covering up your beautiful template. Then you can choose go to page view, open a file or open a webpage or custom link. Then just choose Open webpage. Click Next and type in your URL address here. And you want to put your full URL address here. Just get that enter there. And then click Okay. And you can see it gave you this little bounding box. Now this isn't going to be visible when you save this and GoodNotes or even if you just save it as a plane PDF. But it's letting you know that you have a link here. And let's say, you realize, you know what? I don't think I want these flowers to be part of this link. You can adjust it with, with this bounding box. Just drag it to the left there. You can see now the flowers are no longer part of the hyperlink. So when you're all done with that, just click close. And when I hover over it, now I can see that I do have a URL here. And inside of good nodes, if someone taps that, it's going to open up a browser. And same width just if you were saving this as a standard PDF. It's just good to know for those who need to edit PDFs, this will be a clickable link inside of the PDF. Now that all the pages have been combined and the hyperlinks are complete, I'm going to save this PDF and we can move on to the next lesson. 10. Format Your GoodNotes Sticker Book: So now it's time to import all of your files into GoodNotes. Let's first import our sticker book template. Next, let's do a split screen. So we have good notes on our left and our folder containing all of our individual images on our right. Simply press and drag each image into the GoodNotes sticker book. At the time of this recording, good notes does not allow you to import all of your images at once. So we have to do this one by one. But that's okay. It won't take us very long to do. Sometimes the images come in all of the same size. And other times, GoodNotes gets a little personality and import some of the images smaller and some of the images larger than what they were. Because we saved each image to around one inch. We've already eliminated that potential problem of having blurry images when they import to large into GoodNotes. And we don't need to really worry because we're going to scale them down regardless. Once you have them all imported, you can begin scaling them down using the Lasso tool and the re-size bounding boxes. Let's say you have a zillion stickers in your pack, and now you need more pages to put the stickers into. No worries, GoodNotes has your back. Simply go up to this button tab and choose to insert a template page. Now you've got another whole page with your same sticker book template design on it for you to fill it with stickers. So we're all done with importing and formatting the stickers. You did a great job. Everything looks great and your customer is going to love using them. Let's export this GoodNotes sticker book file. So it'll be ready for sale in your store. Choose Export entire book, and then name it accordingly. Now we need to combine it with the rest of the sticker pack we created earlier. To do that, select the GoodNotes sticker book, The folder with all of the individual images in it. And the Terms of Use file, right-click send to compressed. This zips the file so that you can upload it to your Etsy store or website. User images to create a nice cover photo advertising your sticker pack, write up a nice product description, and you're good to go. Congratulations. You just created your very own high-quality digital sticker pack and GoodNotes sticker book that will set you apart from your competition and something that your customers are going to love.
