This is a really great example of how you can use range to create multiple products from one idea. Take the poster of succulents, these can then be split into a set of 8 postcards, and also stand alone prints. From 8 drawings there is an accumulation of 10 products from the same body of work, if not more.
There then could be wrapping paper, greetings cards, notebooks.
This is a good example of producing and proposing a range. This artist in particular does this for each set she creates; birds, succulents, cabins, fish, ecosystems, guides on what to pack, flowers, african animals...
This ties really beautifully to my 505 research, optimising profits and exploring how to fit work to different dimensions and frames.
Min Pin
Another practitioner i've been looking at a lot that explores range is Min Pin Shop, ran by Penny Ferguson. Ferguson has a massive range of products, from jewellery to prints to tea towels to cushions. Over the years I have experimented with making various products but never to a standard where I could mass produce and sell them. Something I really want to explore is making my own jewellery again, to do this I could start by making painted brooches and move onto more complex things.
Another example of expanding on existing work, a printed pattern made into fabric, made into a product. My plan for level 6 of my degree is to look into printing fabric and making products as I think it will give my work more of a purpose.
