Out of Our Hands Gallery - fine handcrafted creations

As a new consignor at Out of Our Hands, I was unsure how to display and promote my pieces of jewelry. Placed amongst the other beautiful items, they became somewhat lost and were often overlooked. Inspired by some OOOH artists who created unique tags for their pieces, I decided to utilize my graphic design background and create my own. In a matter of days after attaching my tags, I had sold a couple pieces!

Not only do my tags reflect my personal and artistic style, they compliment my jewelry and help them stand out to customers. I believe personalized tags are a great way to market and draw attention to any type of artwork. They add a finished look and create consistency throughout a collection.

Some suggestions to create an identity that is right for you:

1. Use a typeface or handwriting that is easy to read and works with your style and type of art. Keep it consistent so it creates a connection throughout your collection.
2. Color helps to draw the eye, so you might want to try one or two bright colors. But don’t let it overpower the actual artwork. After all, it is your art you are promoting.
3. Create a logo for yourself. A dominant icon or symbol can add a legitimate and professional look to your art.
4. Describe yourself and your work graphically. For example, I use bright colors and a pattern on my tags that reflect my modern and fun artwork and lifestyle. But this might not work for a classic or traditional type of artwork. Discover what works for you and will attract your audience.

Overall, you want to enhance your work and help it to stand out to customers. Remember not to distract from your art, but to create a finished and professional look.
