This design is very easy to make. Since I planned to print on a tote bag and a t-shirt, I wanted a bigger retro font. The name of the font used is Barbie Vintage.

  1. Start with adding your chosen words to the canvas
  2. For a typical retro style choose different sizes for each word
  3. Arrange your words to your liking
