In collaboration with the webpage I used to distribute the first few slip-mat commissions, I have set up an online store with the hope of reaching a wider market of people. There were many aspects to consider when setting this up. Firstly I enquired about what rights they would have over my work. It turns out they do not have any which is good should I wish to distribute my designs by other means in the future. However they do take 50% commission which for now isn't an issue, especially as being on a website will mean reaching more people. The mostly graphic designs will be featured on more t-shirts and hoodies soon with animated Slipmats also being made with frequent orders.
The previous issues I had with the animated Slipmats have been somewhat resolved. alongside my research of stroboscopic disks and setting up an online store, I received this equation which supposedly assists with creating live animations visible to the naked eye. I will need to create a 40 frame Slipmats to see how successfully it works when spun. Testing strobes with the spinning mats may also be a way around the issue.
More animated designs will follow.
A boost for my social media profile is provided when customers send in pictures of their home music displays. Featuring the custom designs is a great way of marketing.
