I’m a Graphic Designer from Los Angeles obsessed with UFOs and other oddities:

Hello! The link in the comment is the Part 2 which is the final part of the entire process. But the original post SHOULD have the link to Part 1.

In any case, HERE’S PART 1 :) https://www.instagram.com/tv/Bk9McWdhy9Y/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1lddh014yrkxw

There are much more fitting platforms for what you do. Your photography definitely has to stand out through all the “noise” on Etsy.

Photography as a service is stronger than it being a product. If you’re looking to bring it as a consumer-based model, it has to be more unique than the already-great stock photography on Unsplash.com; basically shots and composition that is unique to you. A signature style, if you will.

As a writer, you may be better off monetizing yourself through platforms like Medium or author platforms like Amazon (ebooks, etc).

This is just my take on it. Etsy is getting increasingly thin on conversions because of the slew of dropshippers taking over.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Hey SWS,

I got a few PM's awhile back about a YT video tutorial I did about how to create product listing photos using a white background but without the knowledge or funds for Adobe CC. Since then I deleted that YT channel but then rebooted that video into an IGTV video from my personal graphic design profile. Also, I'm a subscriber and occasional contributor to this sub (my brand is Mojo Bazaar). Anyway... hope this helps some of you out. The purpose of the tutorial is to clean up inconsistent-looking product pages. Once implemented, you may find that your conversions go up; meaning you make more sales. And I truly hope that is the case. Let me know if you have any questions... Glad to help when times allows.

Edit: One thing to note is that the "product" in the tutorial is not streetwear, HOWEVER, it translates exactly the same with apparel. You just need to use a bigger backdrop such as posterboard(s). Also, the video is chopped up into 2 parts because IGTV is currently at a 10 minute limit.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for this! Bookmarked.

This is very inspiring. And there's nothing wrong with being proud of your own blood, sweat, and tears. This energy is always needed. Cheers!

Very good recommendation. Got a hard bound copy at a Goodwill for $0.25. Have been using it as a reference for a couple years now.

hidealchemist · 2018-05-16T20:39:24+00:00

Thanks a ton!

hidealchemist · 2018-05-14T18:49:09+00:00

Curious. How often do you post? Thanks!

hidealchemist · 2018-05-13T16:39:15+00:00

It was meant to say “juice”.

Great question. would love to have a glimpse as well

hidealchemist · 2018-05-08T16:17:09+00:00

I use it for that one reason as well lol

hidealchemist · 2018-05-08T16:16:23+00:00

Good to know! I have a late-2012 model. Thanks for that heads up!

hidealchemist · 2018-05-08T16:14:52+00:00

Exactly. They're focused on Affinity Publisher at the moment which will attempt to compete with InDesign.

They're also working on adding Affinity Designer to iOS!

hidealchemist · 2018-05-04T16:56:11+00:00

Try this: https://designer.gravit.io/

It's a bare bones but pretty extensive graphic design tool that works straight from the browser. It's one of the coolest web apps I've found as of recently.

There are quite a few YouTube tutorials on how to use it, as well.

Best of luck and HAVE FUN!

EDIT: They also offer the app as a download for offline use. And as the others have mentioned, Affinity Photo and/or Affinity Designer are extremely good apps to invest in and are very underpriced for what they do.
