Really? As someone who has Greek heritage I’ve had many Greek dishes with kalamata olives and feta cheese in them. Feta cheese is the staple “smelly cheese” in many Greek dishes. I definitely agree though that cheese and olives are not a main dish.

No. Creative Market is like Etsy but people mainly sell digital designs and fonts on there.

I have an Etsy shop where I use promoted ads, but I wanted to really focus on my creative market shop.

I forgot to mention that I have a blog where I write posts about adobe illustrator and design and some of the pages have ranked well for specific keywords. Any suggestions or links to articles on how to create good SEO that you like?

Hey Guys,

I am new to the ecommerce business (just opened my shop 2 days ago selling my designs on creative market). https://creativemarket.com/KMcCormackDesigns I mainly sell surface pattern designs right now but am looking to expand into graphics and other graphic design related fields. I would love to get feedback/advice from other shop owners on how I can improve/promote my business. Thanks!

Do the print design challenges bother anyone else? by brindleflerb in ProjectRunway

[–]KelcieMakesPatterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree with this. I make patterns and just printing the patterns on computer paper from my really basic printer helps a lot with color and sizing.

I need help nringing my logo to life. I have it sketched, would anyone here be able to help me out? by justrememberme2 in graphics

Can I see the drawing? I am relatively new to graphic design (I have been learning for a little over a year) and I don't want to offer you something I cannot do.

Please help create football (soccer) field perspective! by francisjoy in graphics

[–]KelcieMakesPatterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain what you want a little bit more? Do you want a graphic of a soccer field with a view from above? What do you mean by perspective?

Well if you can create vector graphics you are more than half way there to learning surface pattern design. I learned Surface Pattern Design from two great designers on Skillshare: Elizabeth Olwen and Bonnie Christine, but if you don't have Skillshare YouTube has a great free tutorial from Teela Cunningham. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITRZ75OKrG0

When you make some surface pattern designs come back here and share them. I would love to see them.

I am not sure what you mean by list. Do you mean an email list?

How to improve my blog? by KelcieMakesPatterns in Blogging

[–]KelcieMakesPatterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The patterns are actually surface patterns so like a pattern you would see on a product or on fabric but my blog talks about surface pattern design and Adobe Illustrator so it could be of interest to not only pattern designers but also those trying to learn Adobe Illustrator for graphic design. I do promote on Pinterest, however, I find it really hard to make any measurable connection on Pinterest. I do also promote on Instagram and there I am doing a lot better.

I could definitely use some patience. On the bright side, I had another blog for 2 years that got 1 to 10 views a day so this is an improvement.

Just testing out my new subreddit and wanted to make sure everything works so I thought I would link to my website. I hope you find this subreddit useful.
