To begin the exercise I created a gallery of my previous work. These pieces were favourite from the course and images that I felt could potentially be used for commercial sale.
A poster created for a band that could be used for the very same purpose or even for merchandise at gigs. 
I really like the colour palette on this piece and can see it maybe being used as a logo if simplified. 
A personal project which I used as my introduction to the course. This could act as a collectors piece from the film and be produced as a portrait poster. 
This image reminds me of a re-imagined 80/90s animal print t-shirt. 
This is a very scenic illustration so could be reproduced for sale as an art print. 
Like the wolf this would work well as a logo and could be reproduced onto many different marketing handouts. 
I like this drawing but I do struggle as to where it could be produced as a object for sale… 
My character design exercise very enjoyable and I could definitely see this character on a child’s lunchbox or as packaging for a toy. 
This design was used for a tattoo and a personal card. A mothers day card would be the perfect fit.
Below is the image I have decide to use for my commercial sale.
Back in the 90’s I always remember people wearing t-shirts with wild animals on them. They were a big craze at the time and were also very familiar to album covers of the time. I felt that my elected image spoke to this old style.
Recently this type of design has made a resurgence but at a grander scale and more photographic than illustrated artwork.
Below is my final design as it would look like a T-shirt design. There are many ways to sell your designs as apparel these days but the most popular is “drop shipping”. This is where a company will advertise, sell, print, package and ship your product and take a small percentage of the final sale price, minus any overhead cost.
This allows the designer the freedom to only have to worry about the design itself and to know that everything else is taken care of.
These types of online drop shops generated £400bn in 2018 and are expected to rise to £650bn by 2023.
Below is my previous design reimagined for t-shirt:
There are many drop shops available to use for distributing your apparel designs, the most notable being Amazon. I have used Amazon Merch before to sell designs, mostly as t-shirts and find that they have the best return for sales, along with the quality of the material and print.
I uploaded my design three top leading dropping companies to compare the profit margin.
Due to these numbers, I believe that Amazon Merch has the best return and best reach to the consumer.
