Sometimes coming up with design after design is hard. Designing day in and day out, especially if you do this full-time, gets monotonous. So it's no wonder we often gravitate to designing what we WANT to design rather than what we NEED to design. It's easier to design what we want - and more fun, to be honest. I catch myself doing just this. But each time I make this mistake in my own Etsy shop it costs me, and there’s nothing more frustrating than putting all that time and effort into designs that I think will sell, finally publish them live, and then have nothing happen. No sales. All that work and little to no return. This is one mistake I find among my students when they first start selling the cut files I teach them how to make. They learn how to design professional cut files and put all the time into learning Adobe Illustrator. Even the most amazing designers may still struggle when it comes to selling. Sometimes they design what THEY want rather than what they should be designing. Designing with Intention What you want to design and what you NEED to design are not always the same, and are many times different. Don’t get me wrong, you can design what you want and are entitled to this pleasure, but it's still important to design with intention. Just because you like it doesn’t mean it’ll sell. Selling is what pays the bills, folks. This is why it's super important to design with intention. Now we know we need to design to intentionally sell, how do we do this? How do we know what will sell? Find out what your customers want and give it to them. When I find myself drifting off course, I try to remind myself that first and foremost I need to design for my customers. Not for myself. Not for fun, but for my customers! The better we are able to understand our customers, even on a personal level, the more we become aware of their needs which in the end also decides our design. Focus on the customer, focus on their needs, and your sales will increase. Instead of designing what sounds fun, design what is needed. Don’t just design parts or elements, design the whole package if that’s what your customers want or need. If your customers need more t-shirt designs, then create more t-shirt designs. The area I chose to focus on was farmhouse style cut files. I found they really like kitchen designs so I focused on this area for a while. Whatever it may be, figure out what they need and give it to them. How do we find out what our customers need? Get in tune with them, find out what they’re asking for what they’re looking for. The easiest way to do this is to simply ask them. Get on the phone with your sister who has a vinyl business, ask her what she’s doing, what cut files is she needing? Get on Facebook and ask that crafter friend of yours what she’s busy crafting. These are just examples, but you get the point. Just ask! If you have a social following or email list, get some feedback by sending out a survey or ask in individual social posts. Something I did for a while that served me was to simply ask my subscribers when they opt into one of my freebies. If you give away free SVG files, people will answer the questions you ask. Just put it as a requirement to receive the freebie, “What style of cut files are you looking for?”, or the one I used “What style of cut file do you wish to see more?”. Another way to figure out what your customer needs is to use the Etsy search bar. Do some research using this free tool. Etsy automatically offers suggestions based off of their user data and what is searched most frequently. If you see the phrase “school svg” popping up, look inside this area. Do your research, look in the billion SVG Facebook Groups and see what people are asking, what they are using, and what projects they’re working on. Another area you can look at are signs and t-shirts. There are several ideas on both Pinterest and Etsy. What do people use to make these? You betcha! SVG files! Think LIKE your customer, it helps. Watch what’s trending and what’s going viral and you’ll be filled with ideas! In Conclusion... You may be wondering why in past posts I encourage you to do what you love and focus on the area that makes you thrive and why I’m now all of a sudden encouraging you to do what you customer wants. Let me explain. It’s important to choose the general broader area you enjoy FIRST, but once you have decided on this area, it's time to make smart decisions that will lead you to success. Not hold you back! That’s the entire point of us even doing this business, right? Even though you focus on your customers’ needs, if you initially decided based off of your interests, then the individual pieces you create for your customers should still fall within this area of interest. You still can put your own flare and style into it, which is more flexible than freelance designers who design on a per need basis. The point here is that it may feel restricting, but you still have flexibility. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Be sure to post comments below, I answer each and every one! Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers! -Kasey

Don't have the time to read? Listen to the audio transcript of this post: When I learned the ins and outs of tracing an image and turning it into an SVG file I felt I had opened a door into a new era of design.....in a good, legal way! Say what? Tracing someone else's photo is not original content and therefore illegal, isn't it? Yes and no. Tracing, when not done the right, legal way limits us as designers from learning, broadening and improving our design abilities. Trust me, if you are using this as the main method to design, I promise that you are not only limiting yourself but its apparent to others that it is not original. Let me clarify... I am NOT encouraging you to copy someone else’s work. This method I will teach you is meant to ENHANCE your design by giving you a starting point, a foundation, something to BUILD upon. Why this is important... If the cut file design is being used to create a shirt, decor or other item, the last thing you want is to have someone recognize the design as not being yours and report it to the owner. I've had personal experience with this. Someone had copied one of my designs and was actually reselling it to their customers. I contacted the company (now have a legal statement written up that I send them), but at the time I said something along the lines of this: I am the original designer of this item, you do not have my permission to use this. Please remove them from your store within 48 hours or the next time you hear from me will be through my legal attorney. Kind of serious business, but being a designer online these days you NEED to let them know you mean business! I encourage each of you to do the same so that all the hours you put into a design do not get copied and redistributed online and then all that hard work going down the drain. Don't waste time scouring the web for people copying your designs. Just have a process in place so that when it does happen, you know what to do and have statements, etc. on hand, ready to use. So back to it....you or the person using your design could get into some serious trouble for using a design illegally. Legal Versus Illegal What would be considered illegal? If you search an image in Google and trace the first image that pops up, you are more than likely using an image that is copyrighted! This is illegal. So is all hope lost? It doesn't make sense to spend hours and hours trying to make a little kitty cat by hand that is a minor part of your design. I am a design commerce business owner, I do not have time to making ALL my designs from scratch and I know you don't either. Profitable Business = Fast Design Time This is huge, especially if you are selling your designs like I am. The way more to make more money is by creating designs as fast as possible. There is a balance between good, quality designs and designs just thrown together. There's a point that if you spend too much time on a single design that makes it unprofitable, when you won't receive out of it what you put into it. Then there's designs that are too simple, too cheap (for lack of a better word) that won't appeal to your audience. So how do I leverage image trace legally? Well, there's three solutions I have found for this: Obtain written permission from the site owner Take your own photo with a camera and this to trace or Go through site that offers free commercial image use that also includes alterations. There is such a place my friends, its called Pexels.com and its completely free! (Just a side note, I am not affiliated with them, I just love them.) This is where I go for a foundation image when I am in need of a silhouette object, such as an animal or person. Many sites require some form of attribution, so you would have to mention them wherever the design is used. But with Pexels no attribution is required. Plus you are allowed to alter the photo in any way, trace and are allowed to sell the end product. This is huge and how I was able to build the car pictured below. I used an image of an old Volkswagen from Pexels.com, traced it by hand in AI using my Wacom graphics tablet, added the accents on the vehicle, free-handed the tree on top and this is the outcome. Pretty simple, right? So even though tracing images has a negative connotation, it actually can be used in a very good, legal way that can improve your design. Using images as the foundational shape for your design: Gives you a starting point which is especially beneficial when you are a beginner Saves you on design time so you can focus your skills on another more intricate or complicated part of the design. You now have the potential to create any shape imaginable - even if you're first starting out. In the end it's a win-win no matter how you look at it. In the video tutorial... I show you how to convert an image into an SVG. I walk you through how to trace the image that also has a background, I show you the advanced trace setting options, and the best way to use these to get a tight trace. I also show you how I manipulate the traced silhouette path of the horse to make it cutting machine friendly. I also provide a freebie that gives you the
