Digital Art for Crafters Crafty Tip

Layering design elements can bring an added sense of dimension to two-dimensional surfaces. Using our designs as an example: First, start by importing your primary image (a digital photo for instance) into a graphics program. Using word art with a transparent background, import it onto your palette as a top layer. Place a portion of the word art over a lighter part of your primary image, allowing the balance of the image to extend beyond the boundary of your primary image.

Once you have it just the way you like it, print it out on your best printer setting, and apply!

Digital Art for Crafters Crafty Tip

When buying clipart, insist on vector art. Why? Because a jpeg can only be sized 100% larger than it is. Vector art can be sized as large as a billboard and never loose resolution!

Digital Art for Crafters Crafty Tip

If you plan on creating items to sell from free images you have found on the Internet, make sure that they are copyright and royalty free. Copyright free means that the original owner no longer controls who can use their image and what can be done with it. Royalty free means the person who created an image still enjoys copyright protection and typically sells the picture to others, but does not require additional charges for using their image. If you are looking for free images to use with your crafts, look for terms like copyright free and public domain to ensure that the images are truly free to use and simply not "borrowed" from their original owner.

Copyright laws vary from country to country and what may be no longer under copyright in one country may still be protected in another.

In order to succeed in an online craft business you must be sure to network with others selling similar items. You need as many relevant (similar) inbound links as possible.



Life in the Craft Lane
Wonderful blog by the talented artist Mandie Lancaster. You might know Mandi for the beautiful vinyl decals she sells in her Etsy shop, but her blog is where she shares a large variety of digital banners, buttons, backgrounds and just about anything else you could think of to adorn your sites and blogs. Best of all they're all free to use and come in a variety of colors, themes and even holidays. Most have a decidedly primitive look but all only require a credit link to use.
