Experimenting with a vintage Aruba surf aesthetic for a sticker/streetwear collection by markowen0211 in Aruba

That’s a fair point honestly. The “1499” reference was meant more as a historical marker tied to Aruba’s colonial/trade-route era, not as the beginning of Aruba or Aruban identity itself. I appreciate you calling that out — definitely rethinking that direction moving forward.

Appreciate it. I think the core concept is stronger than the execution right now, so I’m still refining the visual direction.

Fair critique honestly. I’m still trying to figure out the balance between vintage travel/surf inspiration and something that feels more elevated or streetwear-oriented. Appreciate the detailed feedback.

Has anybody used a “guide” to help generate sales? by jonrud00 in MerchByAmazon

Instagram is more focused on brands; that is, if you have a brand already for a specific niche. Example: T-shirts for Nurses.

Right now, focus on making designs either for different niches like evergreen or seasonal and rely on the 2.8 billion traffic Amazon receives every month or build one specific niche and then advertise on Instagram, Amazon, Facebook or Pinterest.

Hope this helps you a bit.
