Many pins can be made and sold. The best pins usually have a message and a design that stands out from the rest. Here are some tips on how to make your custom 3×3 pins stand out:
Know Your Audience
Before designing your 3×3 pin, you need to know your audience and what they like. This can help inform the colors and images used on your pin and give them an idea of what type of text would be best for your design. It’s also vital to ensure that the final product will appeal to them.
Design
A great design can get your pin noticed. Whether you want to go with something minimalistic or a bold, colorful design, make sure it’s done well. You don’t need to be an artist, but you do need to have a good eye for color and composition. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re unsure how to start.
Pin Size Matters
Pins come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. The size of your pin should be proportional to the size of your logo. If you have a large logo or design, you will want to use a larger pin that can adequately display your artwork. If you have a small logo or design, go with a smaller pin that can fit all of it on one surface area. In addition to size, pins come in different thicknesses. A thinner pin is more flexible and can fit into tight spaces; however, it may break if bent too much. A thicker pin may not be adjustable enough to fit into tight places but will be more durable overall.
Message
Your pin should have a message representing what you want people to think of when they see it. For example, if you are selling tickets for an event or promotion, use something like “Get Your Tickets Now” or “Tickets Will Sell Out Quickly”. If you are selling clothing items or other merchandise, use something like “Save Big on Everything in Our Store”. It needs to be catchy.
Quality
The material of your pin is also vital because many people might wear it frequently, so it needs to be durable enough to stand up against wear and tear over time. Some typical materials used for pins include metal, bronze or silver, and plastic. Metal has a nice weight but can be expensive, while plastic is much cheaper and tends to feel flimsy compared to metal pins. Both metals and plastics come in different colors, so many options are available for customization.
Conclusion
Ultimately, half of what pin-making is about is art. You have to have the design skills and a keen eye for color and style to make an exquisite custom pin, but with that in mind, if you are up to the task, there is no reason you can’t give it a shot.
