While there I got to experience not only the richness and presence of art in that city, but people there running their own businesses.
As some of you may know, I plan on running my own business regarding my line of natural health and beauty products, however, as of now, my plans are to market myself as an artist, but I don't know were to start. I know that I'm really good at painting portraits, but the crowd of people that pay for those kinds of things is a little hard to reach. I find it would help if I could create my own business card. However deciding on how to present the card will take some thought and time. I have many things to decide regarding the appearance of the business card. Here is my list:
Design
- Simplicity
- Complexity
QUESTION: From an artistic or non-artistic point of view, would you prefer to see simplicity or complexity on an artist's business card?
Categories
- Portraits
- Miscellaneous art
- Graphics
- Health and beauty productsI know that more than likely I'm going to separate the heath and beauty products from the art related things, but I don't know whether I should separate the art related things from each other. A lot of my show boating and self promotion is posted on my Instagram, seldom on my Facebook, but I was wondering if I should make different Instagrams for my different fields of art I'm trying to advertise. My current Instagram is is @team_yaga2014 which is where I post pictures of food, art and myself. But I'm unsure of what to do... and I thought of an idea, I could use team_yaga2014 as my main profile that could branch off into other Instagrams that showcase my portraits, health and beauty products, miscellaneous art, and graphic work.
QUESTION: How should I handle my starter advertisements? I'm aware that eventually I will have to separate them altogether, but as of now I want to know how I should handle things.
For now I'm going to start with development of my business cards, that way I will be able to give someone something that may be interested in my work or services.
