The Flower Power Hour

It is not just this hour but every hour, retro fashion is always in style. The reality is, trends are reoccurring, and those which invoke warm fuzzy feelings for good times gone by–will always find their way back.

“Apparel, and especially t-shirts, are the biggest category in the retro space, followed by headwear, bags, calendars, wall art, gifts and collectible figures such as Funko Pop! vinyl,” says Lisa Streff, executive vice president, global licensing, Epic Rights, a music branding and merchandising company. The thing is, retro and nostalgia are always in fashion–it’s just a matter of what decade you’re re-imagining that resonates.

The fashion meaning of retro, first applied to clothes in the 1970s, refers to styles that are either copied or adapted from earlier periods. The retro reference was coined by London designers. And now for today’s top trends, it looks as though designers and celebrities have borrowed style cues from the past to craft looks that feel at once modern and retro.

Silhouettes That Go From Flat To That for Cash

The world of graphic design has opened up to practically anyone, and everyone is embracing their creative selves by creating their own graphic designs. People have been able to learn to use some very powerful graphic editing software to produce very professional material due to computers and software being so available. This has put a magnifying glass on the freelance graphic designer and added competition for income. They now have to pick up their game and do even more amazing work so they can stand out.


One way all these new freelance graphic designers are standing out is by having their work printed on all sorts of new collateral like blankets, beach towels, t-shirts, and other apparel. There are now so many printing companies on the Internet offering their printing services at fairly reasonable prices. These prices make their services available to the craft artist and freelance graphic designers. One site that I have been using is www.rageon.com

Your creativity is the only limit. Well, except you can only design and upload 100 items on the free plan. I would suggest uploading all 100 design to maximize sales. The cool thing about www.rageon.com is the program they use will do multiple layouts on serval different products so you may proof your design. You have to take notice that some designs don't work well with the multiple layout function. When I notice a design does fit or just isn't working I will unselect the item. This way it is not included in the design's catalog. I like that Rage On creates a catalog (a horizontal scroll banner) of all the items you selected for each design uploaded. 

You should go check some of the printing services out. Some of the other companies offering similar services are, wwwcafepress.com which has a nice homewares selection of items to be printed on.

They also have a commission base set up to compensate artists who sell items on their platform. You may also look at www.teespring.com for inspiration. They also have an affiliate program worked out for you to evaluate.

 

There are so many products available now you should have no problems finding a printing service company that has just that right product to print your art on and possibly earn some income.
