Product Ideas

 I came up with a map of potential ideas for products I could make and sell. This is of course not even half of what truly could be done so this brainstorming will continue for a couple of weeks into this project. 


The ideas I like the most at the moment are 

- bookmarks

-book end

- metal posters and other wall art

- stickers 


I'm going to continue to develop my ideas and then revisit this and think about what would work well with my ideas. 

I think we are likely to see a lot of people do prints, which are very popular but if I am going to do prints too I need a way of making them stand out beside loads of others either through the art itself or the way they are made. Luckily I haven't seen anybody else's work look even a tiny bit like mine in theme and so hopefully the audience I am going for is going to find me. Items that nobody else is likely to make is also a great idea because they will stand out by default. I'm very intrigued by this book end idea.

Learning to Laser engrave

Image
 I attended a workshop to learn how to laser engrave as this is a process I have never done before. It was really really cool and is probably my new favourite bit of kit at the university. I produced this book end in the workshop.  The team running the session provided a template for the base and then we selected images and learn how to use a cut line and an engraving line.  Please note the images engraved on this are taken from the internet. There was not time for me to use my own designs and so the part I am responsible for is just the composition of the images and the idea of having them that way.  This was a really insightful and fun and taught me a lot. I am very keen to use the laser cutters for at least one product at the fair.

Coasters final outcome

 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.

Bookmark final outcome

 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.
