Please help!
Okay, so everyone knows that my dream for recent years was to make cute
things and sell them online. I’ve been very diligent on that goal and I’m very close to it! I’ve gotten my state ID and will be able to get a bank account for my paypal soon. The most I need now is know shipping costs internationally and packaging. All the other little things I’ve pretty much figured out too but there is one major problem that I’ve been having. It’s been totally eating away at me for a few weeks now…
MY BRAND! D:
I know that about last year I made a few graphics for my brand but I really want a new look. But for some reason I just can’t think of a great image/style for my band “The Candy Sanctuary”. Now, I’ve notice another thing over the pass few months. There are a lot of other people doing the same kind of thing I’m doing (and probably way before me). But when I look at their graphics and the overall brand. It all looks similar to each other.
When I just started out the clay thing (over a year ago) and stuff there were a lot of people that was simply inspiring! I love looking at their products and things, but seeing at what I’m doing I’m really trying to set myself apart from the “popular cute look” they seem to have. Before I took such a notice of this I would think that two or three of these people were all the same person haha!
Even though this proved to be a problem I found it a really helpful way to define myself and my brand, but need help with it… YOUR HELP! (points at you) I want some feedback on what kinds of things that you may like to see or tell me what your sick of seeing or just anything that you think will help.
The look I wantt is cute, pink, cutting edge, café, and sweets inspired (mostly anyway) but I don’t to throw out what’s already been done. I’ve been thinking of maybe a rave inspired style or take the cute idea into something different IDK. Here are the people I’m talking about. They all are great and I love the products they make as well but take notice the similar look.

Here are my favorite people. I love the “different” look of their works and I just want to combine the essences of their awesomeness and make it my own. XD

Now I just want your opinions. I know that my crafts have been favorable where I posted them and I want to see how far I can take this with my future shop. I feel totally awesome making my little cakes and its very stress reliving!
I have tons of idea of what I can do with my brand but I want to hear from you all first. Plus I didn’t want this post to get too long. XD
Thanks for reading and provide feedback if you can!
