Introduction
Did you know that we have partnered with Decals.com? We now offer decals, stickers, labels and even custom magnets! With the power of Decals.com, you can create, customize, and design your own decals. You can create your design online, use professional design software to create your own artwork file, or work with a graphic design pro to create a custom look just for you! Here's how:
Online Designer
On Decals.com, you have the ability to use your own designs or utilize our built-in online designer. From inside our online designer, you can add custom text, pick through a variety of clipart images, or add custom images of your own.
Photoshop
Photoshop is a computer application offered by Adobe. In Photoshop you can edit rasterized (made up of pixels) images. Photoshop is harnessed by professional photographers around the world to do anything from whitening teeth to removing the background from an image.
Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator is another computer application offered by Adobe. But rather than using illustrator for editing photographs and other rasterized images, Illustrator is used to create and edit vector (uses software to detect edges) images. Illustrator is used by graphic design professionals all over to create logos, artwork, and cartoons. Illustrator has the largest learning curve of these examples.
Canva
Canva is a free-to-use online graphic design tool. Very similar to Decals.com’s online designer, you can add clip art elements, custom text, select a background color, and design the image as you would like. Canva has the easiest learning curve of these examples.
