Merchandise

 After researching into all different artists websites we found that majority of websites had the artists merchandise on the last couple of pages. The merchandise is available all year round which allows fans to buy it ready for if they go and see the artist in concert or just to collect because of their interest in the artist.
 we looked at pricing and design in particular with the merchandise. We felt some of the pricing was unrealistic and varied a lot depending on the popularity of the artist, because of our artist not being as main stream and probably not as popular as someone like Beyonce we made our merchandise a lot more realistic and done a small collection instead of everything from t-shirts to pens etc... We settled with doing a woman's and mans t-shirt, a key ring and a tote bag.                                                                                                                          

woman's and men's t-shirt = £22.00

            tote bag = £10.95
             key ring = £1.25

 We chose these prices because we feel they are reasonable because the design allows the customer to wear it whenever they want because it doesn't have anything obvious that makes it look like a t shirt you would wear only to a concert. The key ring is very reasonable price and allows everyone to be able to buy something if they want to. The tote bag is a bit more expensive because we noticed that the tote bags on other artists website are more highly priced than imagined so we initially just followed the trend on this one.

We created our design basically from our artist name. Her name is Lila Eden and so from that we thought garden of Eden, to then Adam and eve (now the name of our fans) and then the apple from Adam and eve.

With this we then googled apples - we didn't like the original

picture of just plain apples because it just would not have looked good on the merchandise. We then googled drawings of apples which came up with more

artistic photos and think it suited our artist a lot more. Once we had found the image we wanted to use we found pictures of plain key rings, t-shirts and bags then simply used word to layer them over the top of each other, i chose word to do this because word now allows you to change the color/shade of the image so for ours i used a more cream based to add an old effect to it. i chose to this because i think it matched with the fact that Adam and eve is a exxxxxxtremley old story and wanted to add the vintage effect which is popular with our target audience.
