Hi!! I'm a 20 years old Italian student and in my spare time I enjoy drawing and creating cg images. Last year I created a cool abstract elephant design. Nobody will tell that is an elephant actually, but that's what I see in it.
So I found this place and here is my shop: www.cafepress.com/130888
At the moment I'm working on a logo: I want to include text on my design.
Aniway, I'm in trouble with tagging: I choose "elphant,abstract,animal, purple, pink,gift,graphic", do you think I'm on the right way?? Could you suggest me what tags you would use to find my design?

Thank you very much!!

Cheers

Just off the top of my head.

Thanks a lot!! I thought those tags were too much generic..but maybe you're right, I'll add them Thanks again

It's also handy to have a unique tag you can put on ALL your designs that nobody else will be using, eg. xyz130888

That way if you want to search for all your own stuff you can enter that tag that no one else is using

Doesnt make a big difference at first but comes in handy when you have lots of designs or if you start using 3rd party tools later.

Ok.. I've updated my design and shop! Take a look!

I checked out your shop and that is a cool design. But I must say if I just happened upon it without having read the sentence above, I'd be very confused..."What elephant?"

So, my suggestion would be to use the phrase above, specifically "cool abstract elephant design" in both the shop's front page description and in the product description.

Just so it's clearer why you are pairing that design and the word elephant together.

Hope that helps.

Hi Teresa, thank you very much for your post. You are perfectly right: it's one of my big proble, to find a good descriptione and to target correctly my work. I choosed an hard design to sell, in my opinion. I'll edit my page immediately, your one is a good advice.
Anyway, I think in the next month I'll open another shop (maybe premium this time) to help my sales
