Custom Product Design No. 300 Deja Vu: Vintage Yellow Gold Hibiscus iPad Air Case

Hooray, I Just Posted Product Design No. 300 Today!

I just posted a vintage yellow gold floral iPad Air case on my iCandy58Designs store on Zazzle. It's my 300th custom product design and it feels somewhat like deja vu for me to blog about it. Why? Last month I wrote a post (click here if you haven't read it) about another custom floral iPad Air case design that was the 200th product posted for sale on my store! The only differences, beyond the images I used, are the cases; No. 300 is printed on a Case-Mate Barely There case and No. 200 is printed on a Powis iCase iPad Air case with no kickstand. My little "I've been here before" moment aside, I'm glad I chose this image to create this beautiful case, because I've received a number of social high fives on the Zazzle products I've created with it. Not to mention that I just sold a custom iPhone 5/5s case featuring this design.

Vintage Yellow Gold Hibiscus iPad Air Case ($78.95)

But I've Never Seen a Hibiscus in That Shade Before

I took this photo of a white Hibiscus my wife was growing during the Spring with my iPhone 4. Before I started editing it, I decided that I wanted to create something eye-catching and unique. So through the magic of post-photo processing, I added a soft white glow to the flower's center along with a golden yellow glow to the rest of the flowers and the sky. I also ran the photo through a vintage filter on my iPhone and added a slight pencil sketch effect as the finishing touch.

I really like the way it turned out and think it's perfect for anyone who loves vibrant floral photo designs. Including this custom iPad Air case, there are 12 custom Zazzle products featuring this vintage yellow gold Hibiscus including the previously mentioned Powis iPad Air case,  the iPad Mini case, phone cases for the Galaxy s4 and the iPhone 5/5s, the new 5c & the 4/4s among others.  If there's a Zazzle product you want to buy with this design on it, please email me through the Contact the Seller link on my store.

The Case

The Case-Mate Barely There case, 9.5" L x 6.8" W x 0.4" H, is a lightweight impact resistant, flexible hard plastic shell that protects the back/corners of your iPad Air while giving you full access to the controls, ports & sensors and it's compatible with the iPad Air Smart Cover, which is not included. Priced at $78.95. Another option for you is the Powis iCase iPad Air case without the kickstand. It's 9.88" L x 7.125" W and printed on 100% recycled hardboard that's custom made from premium book cloth.

Vintage Purple Flowers iPad Air Case Design

It was s-w-e-e-e-t to log in to Zazzle earlier today and see I had another registered vote of confidence in my custom design work, a/k/a I made a sale. So, I thought it would be cool to make my last blog post of 2013 about the 1st custom iPad Air case I sold.

In today's post I'm going to cover my Vintage Purple Flowers iPad Air case design that I sold today on my iCandy58Designs store on Zazzle. It's always exciting to see that you've made royalties on the sales of your designs and/or you've made referral commissions on the sales of another designers products; it's even more of a big deal when you're a newbie designer like me! The way I look at it, all sales & referrals validate your efforts as a designer and marketer.

Vintage Purple Flowers iPad Air Case

This iPad Air case design can easily be customized and/or personalized

The image for this custom iPad Air case design is a derivative of the one for the Vintage Pink Flowers iPhone 5/5s case I blogged about last month. Pink has a bright painted sketch look, but with Purple I wanted to do something different. I wanted to create a pencil or pen sketch look with the flowers while doing my best to keep the green bush looking as natural as possible. I was really pleased with the purple/violet hue and the light pen sketch effect. What do you think?

This design, priced at $44.95, is printed on a durable hard cover Powis iCase iPad Air case made from premium book cloth that's been laminated front & back, and it has a no slip edge, which makes it easy to use your iPad Air in freestanding landscape view. However, this Powis iPad Air case does not come with a kickstand. You can make my design unique by personalizing the cover by adding a name or a personal message/slogan to it. Or you can make it a true one-of-a-kind case by using your own photo or artwork. How cool is that?!

I'm definitely adding this Vintage Purple Flowers design to more Zazzle products - especially the cases - in 2014 ... if you have any suggestions re: which ones I should add it to, please post them in the comments section below.
