Doing Your Stickers Yourself A DIY Guide
Need some guidance in home sticker printing? Well, do not worry, help has arrived for you to print stickers. With this “do it yourself” guide to sticker printing, we will show you how to easily design and print your custom stickers even if you do not have any formal training in publishing. The first step that you should know about is the gathering of materials.Gathering what you need – You may want a simple sticker design, or a complicated sticker design but the first step will still be gathering what you need. It is a good idea to just collect all the possible things you think your sticker design will use. Collect all the images you need in one folder in your computer. With that, try to download the fonts that you want to use as well as small design elements like border types, brushes and textures. You might also want to download a few standard sticker printing templates if you want to produce standard sized stickers.Making the sticker design – When all the materials you need are ready, you may start with the sticker design. Using your favorite design software, simply put together your ideal sticker design. In my case, I would usually put my sticker template first, and then add in my background image, whatever it is. Next, I place in my main object or symbol in the foreground. I make a few adjustments in terms of cropping and image editing to make it look good, then I move on to adding the small design details that I need. Finally, I put the sticker text message above all the rest. Of course make sure the font is the style you want.Checking all important elements – Once your main draft is done, do not forget to do a once or twice over with the important elements. Proofreading and layout checking is important so that your stickers won’t have mistakes when you have them printed. Have the proofreading done by two or three people so that nail tips you can Iphone 4s Game Controller cover what another person may have overlooked.Printing your stickers properly – Finally, once all the checks are complete, you can now print your custom stickers. There are two ways you can do this.The first way is the online printer way. You can send your sticker design to an online sticker printing company and then have the stickers delivered once it is done. This may cost a lot, but at least your stickers where printed by actual industrial printing machines which should turn out pretty good.The second way was to print them on your own printer. The quality may be not as nice as that of the printing company, but at least you can really save money since this cost almost nothing. You may have to buy some sticker paper though.Of course the choice is yours what printing method to use, both have their pros and cons, but the most hassle free way is to just use an online printing company.Great! With that your sticker printing should be done! You now know how to do your stickers yourself. Congratulations!
