Auto-Sizing Tool for Redbubble Artists

[lastingMadness]

Friends, Colleagues, Esteemed Strangers,

  You may be aware of the exciting world of print-on-demand(POD) art services. If you are, then you know that while they are a great means of making a passive income, properly sizing artwork for each product offered by a platform can be tedious and time-consuming. It is for this reason that I offer the following template. This Affinity template makes use of artboards and symbols to automatically scale your designs to every product offered by the Redbubble website to safe you time and annoyance.

  Simply edit the models at the top of the canvas and the template will do the rest! You can also use the export persona to export every product design at once. (Note, the default filepath is "./placeholder_productRenders/PRODUCTNAMEHERE.png" because there is not a way to make a "filename" variable yet in Affinity Designer.

What do you mean by “properly”?

Right now your line spacing, and some formatting will not appear the same in different-sized art boards

Yours. The file above is for any Redbubble seller to use.

Here is an updated version of the tool. This one fixes the issue of personal items not being configured. Frame text still doesn't work but the issue can still be avoided by using art text.

This template was made as labor of love and will be updated as I can and notice new products. That said, as Redbubble is now introducing artist tiers, and I am on the Redbubble Standard tier, I will not have access to every product right away. I welcome and encourage Redbubble Premium and Redbubble Pro designers to expand and publish their own versions of this template online. I do ask for credit where my template is the basis but I recognize that's not policeable. This tool was always meant to be a boon to vector artists so they could make the art they love and not have to spend time copying their designs. I hope it continues to serve that purpose.
