Surtex vs. Blueprint: Which Trade Show is Better?
Surtex vs Blueprint: In this episode of the Design Tribe podcast, special guest, Lisa Clow, and I discuss which trade show is better for surface pattern designers, textile designers, and illustrators. I only exhibited at Blueprint Shows, but Lisa exhibited at both Surtex and Blueprint shows in the same year so I really wanted to get her opinion on which trade show is better!
In this episode of the Design Tribe podcast, I'm chatting with Ilana and Katie from Loomier about pricing your work as an illustrator, surface pattern designer, or hand-lettering artist.
The surface pattern design industry can be opaque especially around pricing and especially if you're new to the industry. Thankfully, more and more artists are sharing their knowledge about how to price your designs, what you should be charging clients, what kinds of royalties are normal for art licensing, and how to uplift the industry standards for pricing so that all artists can make a decent salary and the living they deserve! :)
