Fair and final thoughts

Image
  The fair went really well, I put my socials up so people could follow me and they did! I also wrote clearly what the prices were so people knew straight away.  The fair was a great success. My total costs for the stock were £70 My takings for the day were £150 , so that makes £80 profit and stock to spare! The coasters were very popular and I took some orders even after they sold out which I am now fulfilling.  I was concerned that because my posters were more expensive than other peoples that they wouldn't sell but I sold the majority and made a good profit so Im glad I stuck with that.  The bookmarks didn't sell at all , not a single one, but that is ok I will try to sell them at other things and won't make anymore as they are not popular- lessons learned!  I now know that I can sell things at a professional quality and I know what people liked and can make more of those. Final thoughts on this project: In this project I have learnt so much, more so than I have in almos

Prints final outcome

Image
 My prints turned out really well. I have wrapped them in plastic from the art shop. Unfortunately the plastic is not the biodegradable kind. This was because I couldn't find any anywhere for an affordable price, it would have taken me out of budget and just wasn't possible at this time. Each print has a sticker inside the packet and a bookmark  I made 11 prints in total as this was all I could afford. I went and checked out available paper types and discussed with the print team what papers were best. I tried on matte and glossy and chose to go with glossy.

Bookmark final outcome

Image
 My bookmarks turned out pretty well. They are quite basic and just a rectangle but I think they are a nice little addition. I will sell them for a very affordable cost.  If I had more time I would have made them a custom shape but I think for the intended purpose this is simple and sleek.

Bookmarks

Image
 I also want to make bookmarks so I started by doing an initial design (rough)  I decided to only develop the morlock one because I don't think the eloi one is as recognisable to an audience. I then developed this design digitally and used a previous design for the back as a time saving method.  Back Front

Business card outcome

Image
 I printed these on a bit of a budget and just used some 25p card from the art shop and printed this with inkjet but I'm happy with the results. This will be a good way of getting my name out there and for people to be able to find me online. I will hand these out to whoever shows an interest or buys something.

Stickers final outcome

 My stickers turned out great. I wish I'd made them a little bigger but other than that I'm happy with the result. One of these will be included with every purchase.

Coasters final outcome

Image
 The final outcome of my coasters! I think these turned out really well, I made 12 of them in total 3 of each design. The level of detail that I was concerned about seems to not be a problem but only just , I think any more detail would be too much and ideally these designs  would work best on larger surfaces.
