Additional Work- What next?

Within my feedback i was asked to consider the following points: Who will i sell them to? How will they be marketed? Who have i shown? and Who have i approached? in response to these points i have taken to the internet to research where and how i can sell my designs.

The first online site where i can upload my designs is called the Surface Pattern Market place. On their site there is three ways you can sell your designs either through a standard license, extended license or premium license which allows customers to use your products in different ways. However on their site they have designs greatly ranging in price from about £35 to well over £300, wondering where my designs would fall within this price bracket i done some further research.

To answer this question i found a site called Pattern Observer which gives you three things to consider when selling your own patterns which include: the industry, complexity and time taken as well as the size of the art work. Never having considered nor researched into selling my own designs before this answers a lot of questions about the price my designs should retail for.

As well as the Surface pattern marketplace i have also found a host of other similar online sites where i can upload my designs and sell online:

• Spoonflower
• Print me Pretty
• Print all over me
• Graphic River
• Creative Market
• RedBubble
• Threadless
• Teepublic
• Inprnt
• Society6
• Etsy
• Big Cartel

All these online sites vary slightly; however, still have the same idea embedded of uploading your designs and selling them to customers. When reaching a comfortable place with my new project i will definitely be uploading some of my designs from this project and those previous to start to sell my designs online. Initially i was hesitant about this feedback point as i had no idea what would come of my research as i had no experience in this area. Despite this, i feel it has been very worth while as i now have a comprehensive list of places i can sell my designs and start to make an income out of my work.
