Pro Tips For Displate Artists

A selection of helpful pro tips for aspiring artists who are new to Displate!

Matching sets of at least 8 designs attract more customers, and are easier to promote!

Design a matching set...
Some of the most popular and best selling designs on the Displate website are those that form part of a larger overall set. Many Displate artists prefer to upload sets of at least 8 matching designs, all sharing a common theme or unique art style, although larger sets are always welcomed. This also improves the chances that Displate will notice your artwork, and makes it easier for them (and respective Art Agents) to promote your artwork via social media promotions. Be sure to upload your matching set to its own specific folder on Displate to make it stand out, and so that potential customers can locate your set more easily.

Displate Box eligibility...
Displate also offers a unique "Displate Box" product, which is essentially a collection of smaller pocket-sized metal prints for those who wish to make a wall collage, or who have limited space to display larger posters. Artists who design a set of 10 or more matching designs improve their chances of being chosen by Displate to have their art featured as a Displate Box. Bear this in mind when choosing a theme to design!

Choose themes carefully...
While it may be very tempting to create fan-art based on your favourite anime, TV show, film series, or video game franchise, you may find that your artwork may be removed by Displate for copyright infringement, even if you drew the artwork yourself. To increase your chances of having your artwork promoted by Displate, and selected for the Displate Box, try to pick a generic theme such as landscapes, food & drink, animals, the zodiac, or the solar system. Or even create your own characters from scratch!

Choosing an art style...
Every Displate artist has their own unique art style. Try to use this to your advantage by creating sets that showcase your own unique style. This will enable your artwork sets to stand out from the crowd, and customers will instantly be able to recognise your artwork amongst the thousands of designs available. Some of the most successful Displate artists such as Eden Design, Donnie, Retina Creative, Soulkr Design, MCAshe Art, Mequem Art, Beegeedoubleyou, and James Weinreb, all have easily distinguishable art styles!
