I have finally started designing Zazzle products. I signed up some time ago but needed to spend the time on my websites. But now I have started.....and am already addicted! Loving anything creative, I am enjoying using my own digital photographs, creating, resizing and designing in Picnik before using the photo on the Zazzle product range.
It is best to browse a few Zazzle sites to see what others produce and how they set up their Site. Then it is really a trial and error learning experience. As you need to do new things... you go and do more reading and research.There are certainly plenty of very useful tools for Zazzlers,and a wealth of help on the forums.
Some Zazzle Features
The Quick Design process is good to get started....you do need to then go and rework each one individually, ensure any writing is within the bleed lines and that the photo is well placed. Items like mugs may need another picture uploaded to fill empty space... or you can fill with colour and outline....all making a very professional look.Be prepared to delete any design that is not working. I think putting quality products up is important.
One great feature is buyers can customise the item with writing and colours of their choice.
New Zealand Themed Products
I wanted some New Zealand themed items to go with my Holidays in New Zealand website. I have one T shirt that I am happy with featuring Punakaiki Pancake Rocks and I plan to do a range to match. I am also very pleased with my New Zealand FerNZ FroNZ range.You can see this full range at kiwitraveller's Store at Zazzle although I will be redoing this soon. I am playing around and learning at the moment.
I have practised with a few other designs and love the fun of designing ties! I hope someone will want to wear them. My first was a gardenia design which was tiled. It was amazing how choosing a blending green for the white bits really made this pattern work. I have also done a Fern design and a Tiger design.
Products Designed This Week
I have done a range of gardenia designed products,New Zealand FerNZ FroNZ products, Tiger products...with a picture taken at the zoo which I love.
Some miscellaneous products including a couple of Mother's Day T shirts, and some Father's Day products as it seems it is Father's Day in the US soon.
Mother's Day in UK is March and in New Zealand and many other countries in May. How nice to give a personalised item.
More Zazzle Products
T shirts come in so many designs, styles and colours. Cards can be created for any occasion with postcards an excellent way for me to feature Holidays in New Zealand.
Not only is there clothing and cards but lots of small souvenir type goods - buttons, magnets, bumper stickers, stickers, key chains...all in different sizes.
Then you can get to such items as ked shoes, pet clothing .....and even skateboards. How cool is that!
Got to go....I am raring to get another design under way. But do take a look at the Panel on my blog or click the links and see what you think.I welcome feedback!
