One of the things we see at Spoonflower nearly every day is that the ephemera of life makes some of the most interesting and poignant designs. The drawings your kids create, the doodles and sketches that come from your imagination, the vintage postcard that inspires you to grab your paintbrush and create—it’s all teeming with design possibility!

Creating a design from an original piece of art on paper is a fantastic way to start a project. After you’ve made your art, the next step is to scan it and make it digital as you learned in Chapter 6. Once you have a design on your computer screen in front of you, there are some easy enhancements and fixes you can make in your graphics program before printing it. For example, you can touch up some areas in your artwork, like removing stray pencil lines or cleaning up a wobbly or smudged area. You can also experiment with changing colors. Let’s explore some of the tools that will help you.
