Last year, we announced our partnership with lifestyle accessory brand PopSockets to create something special — a new and improved Designed by You experience. This new experience allows anyone to design the phone case, wallet or grip of their dreams using Picsart tools. 

Now, we’re excited to share the new customizer is officially live! Ready to put creativity in your hands and let your imagination run wild? Here’s everything you need to know.

About Designed by You

Designed by You is PopSockets’ namesake custom experience, letting you pick either MagSafe or standard cases, wallets and plant-based grips and make them uniquely yours.  

Getting to know the new PopSockets customizer 

PopSockets has relaunched its customizer with some of Picsart’s most popular design tools, including one-touch Remove Background, Style Transfer, and Pattern Generator. You’ll now find new custom fonts, photo effects, styles, accents, stickers and textures, which will all be updated regularly. You also have the ability to create stickers using your own photos, just like you can on the Picsart platform.

To start designing:

  1. Head to the Designed by You page and click the “start creating” button.
  2. You’ll then want to select the product you’d like to customize – a phone case, wallet or grip.
  3. Select the specific model you’d like within those categories.
  4. After that, creativity is in your hands to personalize the product and make it uniquely yours. 

Check out this tutorial video for a visual look at how to use the new customizer!

Get to know new global artists

You can also now get access to original designs from artists and illustrators around the globe. The current artist spotlight is on Emilio Santoyo — a Mexican born, California raised artist known for his always positive and bright work. Many have referred to his style as a “visual vacation.”

Make it Pop Art Challenge

We’ve also teamed up with PopSockets on a Make it Pop Art Challenge, beginning February 21st and running until March 3rd. We’re asking you to create an artistic design with Picsart, and bring it to life on a PopSockets grip or case. By entering the Challenge, you’ll receive a discount code for your next PopSockets purchase and enter the running to be one of the 5 lucky winners to receive their custom products in real-life.
