Design Collections for Art Licensing

Design Collections for Art Licensing

https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Design-Collections-for-Art-Licensing/879734881

In 2017 I exhibited for the first time at Surtex (an art licensing trade show in NYC) with my art collective Swedish Creatures. This was my first experience with art licensing and I pretty much knew nothing. Before the show I did extensive research about art licensing and learned all about different industries to license too. I also discovered working in collections. Since then I have learnt more and more about building collections to better my portfolio and how much of an asset they are for selling and presenting my work. In this class I am very happy to share all that I know!

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?:

This class is geared towards students of all levels who are interested in learning more about the art licensing world and learning more about how to design mini and larger collections (not just for the fabric industry because that's a little bit different.)

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Supplies you will need to create the class project:

Supplies to create your artwork. Whether it be traditional or digital. I personally draw all of my most of my illustrations and patterns on my iPad Pro with the Apple pencil in the app Procreate.

Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to design your sell sheets and finish your artwork.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

In this class I will be sharing my thought process and techniques for building collections of 3 or 4 or 6 or 8.

We will cover the following:

Why you should design in collections.

Types of collections and what to think about when designing in collections.

Themes to consider working with.

Gathering inspiration.

My process of building a mini collection.

Tips for evaluating your work.
