Make Your Design

You no longer need to be a pro at Photoshop to create simple graphics. By far, the most accessible way to create designs is by using Canva. Another popular option is Procreate, which is available for iPads.  You can create mugs made of simple quotes or add shapes, colors, and graphics to piece together a unique design for your totally custom mug.

This includes: > Photos you didn’t take > Lyrics, quotes, & phrases > Logos & slogans > Sports team logos > Meme images > Movie or TV show figures or images > Images found on social media or search engines
