Noodles & Flip can you tell me what the pixel dimensions were of the designs that you uploaded please? The dimensions they suggest on the site (shortest side 2800px) seem huge... Thinking about making my own Drive displate but am struggling to find graphics that i can scale to that size

I go by standard poster sizes mate and usually stick with 18" x 24" / 5400px x 7200px which is considered medium (I only do them this big because I upload them to other sites which sell larger prints than Displate). Obviously you'll be lucky to ever find any images that you can scale to that size without causing it to blur/pixelate, but lately I've been sticking to vector art, so I only ever use photos as a guide anyway.

Thanks for that mate - I've been setting them up in CMYK settings which is what's making it so large I guess. Is it ok to design for displate using RGB colours then? That might be why my colours are being altered after upload when testing them on site...

I work in CMYK with 300dpi for best results... you can always convert it to RGB after. I've worked in RGB for many years though and never had any complaints, so doing what Flip said should still be fine.

Good luck! And be sure to show us your designs when you've done.

i use Rgb and had no problems
color profile RGB Adobe(1998) or SrGB

Flip, awesome design! Hope you get credit/part of the sales because I just ordered one Arrow displate

 

[Noodles]

Nice one, Flip. And congrats on the sale!

PS. You don't actually get any of the profits until you've made at least $50... I didn't realise this until I sold my first print.

im a man of my word!

[D4vem88]

Ah, the red one? I like that.

Same here really. But I got excited thinking I'd made a small profit, then noticed the $50 thing.

Still, the fact that it sold at all feels very rewarding!

Ah, the red one? I like that.

Yep, the red Godzilla one.

Thanks for the advice, will check out vector graphics and have a play around see what I can come up with.

Also congrats on the sales guys, really like your designs!

How strict are they on the copyright issues? I've played around in inkscape for a while but I wouldn't much like to get slapped in the face with one of those scary infringement letters.. I'm guessing it should be on seeing how many of the designs are associated with existing IPs?

 

[D4vem88]

There's so many designs to choose from! I keep checking back to see if someone's designed a Firefly one.

stop giving me idea's

 

[D4vem88]

I never suggested it [emoji12].

But theoretically, if someone somewhere would happen to see my post and create a badass Firefly Displate, then maybe, someone somewhere would buy it.
All in theory obviously [emoji6]

How much money do the designers/artists make per sale?, thanks.

You set your own prices (from 44 to 54 USD), so I guess the higher the price, the bigger your profit. I sell mine for the cheapest option ($44/£29) and make $7.20/£5 for each sale.

 

[Manhunter]

Thanks for the info Noodles.
