KITTL: Tarot Card Design (Full Walkthrough)

Not familiar with the tarot card design a tarot card is used in things like fortune telling and it’s kind of got a goth feel to it there could be things like witches kings queens and some Astrology symbols they’re kind of creepy they’re kind of fun and we’re going to

Make one in this video and as we jump in on Kittle if you like what you see make sure to sign up I’m going to give you the link in the video description below just a heads up it is an affiliate link and that just means that if you click on

The link and you purchase the subscription I would receive a small commission let’s jump in I’m going to go over here to new project on the top right now from here I can choose a standard preset or I can go into these pod presets there’s actually a print on

Demand section right there and in this case I’m going to use a disc plate which is 2900 by 4060 pixels and I’m going to click create it opens up a nice little template right here now the first thing I’m going to do is just click the background I’m going to make it black

Just like that and I’m going to stick some texture on it as well so over on the left hand side I’m going to click on Textures down on the lower left and I can see there’s different textures that come up and what I’m going to do in this

Case is I’m going to go to grunge textures show all I’m going to pick one we’re going to see it’s going to populate on top now it may be hard to see because of the black so what you can do is you can go to normal color burn multiply and you can go

Through a list of different ones now the black is not going to show up a whole lot so if you want to change the color to something less than black almost black just like that and look at the radical difference that that pops up as almost black is a pretty good black

Okay so now we’re going to go over here to elements and I’m going to type in the word moon from here we’re going to get back a bunch of moons and I’m going to pick something that looks kind of creepy right there now if you want to change

The color of it you just simply click on the object and then you can look over on the right hand side and you’ll see the object color comes up and you can move the object color you can make it as bright or as dim as you would like so

That’s a really nice feature another thing that I want to do at the start of the design is the idea of putting a border around it so I’m going to go to go back that brings me back to the beginning of the elements and I’m going

To take a look here for some sort of borders so I’m going to click on ornaments and I’m going to see their spot elements ornate lines and as I click on down I can see there’s large frames I’m going to click show all I’m going to click on this rectangular frame

Make sure it’s nice and big and I can stretch it out now you may notice when you’re making these elements larger or smaller the aspect ratio is locked on these frames one thing you can do is hold down the shift key and when I hold down the shift key I can actually

Stretch it and so this is really helpful if you’re trying to make it fit exactly on a certain sized template I want my moon underneath the Border just like that but if I wanted to move it to the top I simply right click it and I can go

Bring to front and now it sits over top of the frame but I want it underneath so I’m going to right click and I’m going to say go to back and that pushes it under the layer okay so I want to find the star of the show here for my tarot

Card design so I’m going to click on elements and I’m going to type into the search window cat which is cat and we’re going to see what comes up and there’s a perfect cat for my tarot card design he’s even got a skull pre-populated now you’ll notice as I’m clicking stuff

Around sometimes things will get you’ll like click on the wrong thing and it’ll move around so what I want to do in this case I’m going to get rid of my cat here just for a second I’m going to click on the frame and I’m going to align It Center

Both vertically and horizontally and then what I’m going to do is go to the layers panel down below I’m going to click on it and we’re going to see this illustration now populates that’s the frame I’m just toggling at visibility on and visibility off I’m going to double

Click inside the illustration layer and I’m going to type in the word frame and now I’m going to click the little lock button next to it that locks in the frame so when I click on it nothing happens it’s effectively cemented in now so that’s a really nice feature if

You’re finding that things are moving around when you’re trying to click and resize that kind of thing all right so we’re going to make kitty cat here nice and big and stick them right in the middle I’m actually just going to Center him both vertically and horizontally

Okay let’s get some text in this design so over on the left hand side I’m going to click the text button and I’m just going to click headline at the very top that’s going to populate just a standard piece of text right dead center in the

Middle of the design I’m going to drag it down make it a bit bigger and I’m going to type in my text to start I’m going to type in Black Cat I’m going to stretch them out move them down and now I’m going to find a font that I really

Like so over on the right I’m going to just select the type face option and I’m going to scroll on down now there’s options at the Top If you want to just script for example that will just filter scripts if you wanted serif that’s going to give you the refunds and of course

The sensory fonts are there as well there’s even a nice other which is kind of nice I’m actually going to go through the other to start and I can see here there’s a bokeh font that I really like now it’s often the little differences that make the design go to the next

Level so over on the left hand side I’m going to go to elements and I’m going to type in the word star and from here I’m going to see there’s a whole bunch of different options I’m going to click on one move them up to the top and I’m

Going to match the color scheme that’s already in the design if I click on the object color on the top right you’re going to see down at the bottom is all these document colors that come up sometimes you may want to standardize the document colors and make them like

Less you don’t want to have so many document colors so just as an example I’m going to pick this second tan color in to standardize it and then I’m going to click the moon and I’m actually going to do the same thing and if you do this enough times with your design you’re

Going to notice over time that the document colors will become less and less you may just have three or four in the whole design I’m not saying you have to do that I’m just saying you may want to do that to make the design look a little more cohesive and sometimes

That’s the difference between selling a print or not I’m going to click on the other star here and that’s going to populate I’m going to throw him up in the top here and again I’m going to click on object color and I’m going to pick one of the tan colors there I’m

Going to do the same thing actually here with the cat I’m going to click on the red and make him the tan color I’m removing a lot of the more dramatic colors and I’m replacing them with a few more just Tans and blacks you know the difference I can quickly make here using

Kittle that’s pretty cool okay and I’m going to click on this star design here at the top you’ll see that this is a two-tone I’m actually going to change it into a One Tone simply by clicking both colors and making them the same I’m going to push them right down and make

Them tiny and then what you can do is hold down the ALT key and when you hold down the ALT key and drag it actually will make copies so you can quickly move stuff around and you can quickly add in a whole bunch of stars look at that in

Real time I’ve got a Starry Sky Now set up for the cat one last thing I’m going to do here is go under ornaments and I’m going to click on ornate lines I’m going to show ornate ornate lines and what I want to do is underneath the black cat I

Want to put something in there and I want to make it relatively dramatic so I’m going to click this one here this is a pretty nice big Gothic underline I’m going to put them right underneath here Center him make sure the object color is the same and I’m going to move black hat

Up just a tiny bit there this is what I love about Kittle is you can spend more time designing and less time worrying about technical aptitude is really nice I want to show you one last option you can do here if you’re not happy with the

Font so this is an option optional thing I’m going to go to go back and under Victorian I’m going to click show all and from here I’m going to pick a little tiny ornament right there I’m going to move them off to the side and Shrink

Them down put them right here all along the side and then I’m going to hold down the ALT key and copy it over now I’m going to right click on that second one and I’m going to say hit flip horizontal so now I’ve got two of these

Designs what I’m going to do now is Orient them so that they’re the same height I’m going to right click and group them so now they’re like one design what I can do now is make my text a bit smaller center it and you can see now I’ve got ornaments sitting on either

Side of that which is really nice and if you want to change the font of course you can scroll on down and you can find a completely different font that you may like so there’s a radically change the font in just a matter of seconds I
