Excellent tutorial, Philip!

You've got a great teaching style - It's easy to follow along and understand your videos. 🙌

[walaipanwachadech]

Thank you so much for this great lesson

[moroco.design]

You literally just blew my mind! Thanks! 🤯

[internetguy]

Thank you very This is what I've been looking for

[steadmanuhlich]

WOW! Awesome tutorial Philip!
I particularly like how you mention every item that needs to be clicked and ticked, and how you pointed to the appropriate tool icons on the Illustrator workspace. I don't use Illustrator yet, but will follow your clear instructions to try this in the future.

Thank you so much for bringing so much value to YouTube. Your content is fantastic and goes beyond the typical YouTube video. I cannot wait to learn more from you. Thank you for teaching me directing me to the Illustrator scripts. They solve the resizing issue that I could not figure out how to work around.

this is great. I've only just begun using data sets to make scable designs, but didn't know how to deal with long text automatically and was making different variables for longer data points. This will definitely speed my workflow up, thanks!

[cendgnh]

Really cool trickPhilip! Thanks for sharing.

[gezwaters]

This is really helpful, thank you for all your great videos.

[Safire]

Thank you for this wonderful video! Very helpful! :)

[philipthomas]

Another great video, will be trying this out hopefully. My laptop hasn't a dedicated graphics card, will it still run Adobe Illustrator? Thanks

[nongvanbien]

Great! Thank you for the extremely helpful content.

Hey Phil, This is a great tutorial however could you take it one step back for those of us not versed in Illustrator. I am having trouble figuring out how to get the template text in. I tried the Area Text like you suggested however the sizing doesn't seem to work out initially and thus the variations don't look right either. Any tips on how to get the initial text area sized with my font etc. would be a huge help. I am doing this in Canva now but I manually resize there and would like to use this automation.

Any tutorial how to do the same trick with Affinity Designer.Thanks ?

Hello Philip, I appreciate the video it’s very helpful! I am having trouble with something though. Anytime I am making a design where the word I am changing is above another word that is kept the same, it doesn’t readjust the layers to be closer to each other. So most of the designs end up looking not good. Do you have anything to help with this?

Also I am having to manually save each individual design after hitting the “batch” option. It’s very long and boring process. Please help

[silenciocontemplativo]

Hi 👋 great video, just great. I have a problem, I did everything but at the moment I try to process the batch… nothing, not even with the illustrator actions. I have the latest version and never had any trouble. Seems weird to me, do you have any insight? I uninstalled the 2024 version and installed several previous ones… nothing

[MotivateMinds]

Hello Philip, 1 question. I follow the process but I cant find the variable 2 in the Dataset field one.? Why is that?

[joseph-the-seventh]

Amazing tutorial! A question for fellow POD sellers… if you are selling hundreds of scalable designs I believe this would get very expensive on Etsy due to their listing fees. What are good platforms to sell scalable designs? I don’t want to post 1000 design listings and then go broke due to listing fees!

[mysteriouslygh]

Great, informative video as always! Thank you for sharing so many actionable tips. I wanted to ask you a question if that’s alright. Does it make sense to create totally original designs or do similar designs that have already been done but with variations? I really want to be able to upload some ideas that I haven’t seen done before but I’m curious if they would be found.
