So Christmas is coming up and I want to do something awesome that I could do year after year.

I want to design my awesome egiftcards that can be printed out and put into a christmas card. These can be ordered for specific items like (2 game controllers) or a specific amount (the amount would start at like 45$ and go up!)

It would be a great way for people to get what they want and I’ll be creating different designs as we slowly get closer. And yes, they will involve ponies but there will be more generic Christmas designs.

That is something I totally want to do! It would be really awesome and an easy way for everyone to get what they wanted and put it on their Christmas list!!

WOO!

So much in my brain!

Lately things have been rough for me. I am going through some financial hardtimes. I don’t have a job, can’t seem to get one and my shop isn’t doing well right now. I recently lost some designs and I’m REALLY upset about it. I mean it is just AWFUL. So I’m going to have to redo A LOT of things.

Lately I have taken a liking to trying to learn more REAL graphic designing and I created a cloud picture and I loved it! While I found it to be kinda difficult I stuck with it and did it! I am so happy that it turned out great.

I’m thinking of taking a new journey in graphic design, and learning more and more and I’m brainstorming some great things that I hope to one day do!

I have let my sale continue for a while now and I’m thinking that I’m going to shut it down - the sale that is not the shop. Nobody has bitten and that makes me sad. So yeah. Going to be changing up some things, thinking about making Gaming Skin Kits, controller kits, I don’t know GAH. SO MUCH IN MY BRAIN!

All I know is that I have some great fans who cheer me on and keep me happy and motivated, despite all the stress of my personal life.

Some Important Updates

Sat, 05 May 2012 11:15:53 -0400

Alrighty, so I promised some updates on the blog so here we go.

Custom Orders

Before you go and assume, no I am not enforcing a custom making fee right now. What I am going to start enforcing is that your purchase your item before it’s custom made for you. I spend a lot of time making designs for people who are all about seeing it , but then they don’t end up purchasing the item so it’s sort of like…I’m doing it for nothing? Does that make sense? Like even though I am gaining more designs for my shop, it’s like why am I making you a custom design if you’re just not going to buy it :( So if you’re interested in a custom design, I’d really appreciate it if you bought it before hand.

Website

It’s official I now have a website of my very own and it is packed FULL of information for you guys including a pricing guide so you guys can figure it out. I’m going to be adding more pages and such for things like sales and contests that way you guys can keep up to date with them! I’m going to have to redesign it I think it’s a little small for the browser so I’m going to fix that issue soon, but I’m really excited about it!!! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE SITE

Email

Along with getting a new website I have a new email to go along with it! I am really excited that I’ll have this means of communication with you guys, this way you can send me emails and what not! And also, so that I can send you emails when your item has shipped :D YAY! Alexis@ararityofadesign.com

Sponsors

If you have traveled to the land of my website, you’ll see I have a “Sponsors” page. This page is for the people who help me out by advertising for me, spreading my name, helping me get likes and business. Pretty much my support team, and to support them back I have an area for them on my site so you guys can find their pages and such! Give them a like and check them out!! Also with having sponsors this means that I can/might have giveaways that are specifically on their page only! So if you don’t like their page, you could end up missing out on specials!

Giveaways/Contest

I’m not going to be having many giveaways or contests until business picks up, or until I get a part/full time job to pay for the items to give away. But YOU can help me host one, by purchasing an item (contact me for the special pricing) and hosting it on your page for your fans!! Until business picks up the only giveaways or contests i’ll be doing are for reduced/free shipping or reduced pricing. But for special events I may end up giving away skins themselves! So always keep an eye out!

Handheld Gaming Sytems (DS, PSP etc.) Release

I have yet to announce a release date for these items, but fear not, I am working hard on getting them out. I am expecting to have the pricing for these items at $40-$45. I’ll be posting more about this when the time gets closer, and until then I can’t really give a date as to when you’ll see them released. I am accepting ideas for them though, so if you have one send me an email!!!

IMPORTANT UPDATES- INCLUDING A SALE!

Tue, 01 May 2012 13:02:24 -0400

Hello everyone! I’m back and as I said I would last night, I’m writing this formal post to help update some things around here.

I recently switched over my store to a much much better one! This is really exciting! It is was more user friendly and organized I looooooove it! I know you guys will too! CLICK HERE TO SEE NEW STORE!

I am having a sale at this store! Buy two controllers for $45 and get reduced shipping, buy a console for $70, get a free controller AND reduced shipping!

:D YAY SALES!

I have some sad news though. Due to the fact I haven’t been getting much business, I am going to be unable to pay my internet bill for the month. This means that I will not be able to update my store as often as I’d like, and post pictures of my merch on the facebook page. I will still be able to fill orders so don’t worry! Nobodies orders will go unprocessed. I will still be able to post text wise on here and Facebook, and email will be just fine (I have a cell phone with internet hehe) so don’t fret! I’ll try to head to my other half’s house as often as possible because they have internet there :)

I am going to start doing some anime designs, as well as offering to incorporate your very own OC’s into the mix. There will be more information about that coming up later on!

I hope to see you guys around!!!!!!

I'm back

Tue, 01 May 2012 00:16:06 -0400

I was locked out of my tumblr account!!! But have no fear I am BACK!

I am also having a sale! I also opened a new and improved store so check it out!

Http://www.vendio.com/stores/raritydesign

I’ll be making a more formal post tomorrow!

Just some updates :D

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:43:40 -0400

Alrighty lets see whats new? I found a different store host, so I’m changing the store. I think everyone will like the new store way better, it’s so much easier on the eyes, its more user friendly! And I personally enjoy making the store the way the interface is for me, which means that updates should and will happen faster!!!

I just want everyone to know that not all of my designs are available for every single item I have. Sometimes the resolution of certain parts of my designs only look good stretched out so far, and I don’t want to sell distorted items!

I’m going to be hosting a sale very soon! I can’t tell you the exact date, but I can tell you what you’ll be looking forward to.

Buy a console skin, get a free controller skin. Only paying the original 90$ plus shipping. It is a 120$ value. Shipping will be reduced to instead of 13.50 for the US it will be 8$ and for canada instead of 22$ it will be 13$

Buy two controller skins at 60$ and get reduced shipping of only 8$ US and 13$ canada!

I’m going to be doing a ASK RARITY segment where you guys can send me in questions that I will answer in a video, so that you guys can kind of you know get to know me better. I know I say “get to know me better” a lot, and it’s really because I think if you’re ordering custom made items from a company thats not this big huge organization, then you should really know who you’re ordering from! I am really friendly so please don’t get scared! You can send me questions here: http://raritydesign.tumblr.com/ask or click the contact tab and send me an email. I’ll answer both in text and make a video! :D

I’ll be putting more images to the blog so you guys can see what I’m working on and stuff and the new items in store! :D

And a big announcement: I’m going to be doing a poll on my facebook page for those of you to help me decide what is going to be my first handheld gaming system put out.

Options will be the DSi, DS Lite, 3DS, DSI XL, PS Vita, PSP, PSP GO so i’ll post when the poll is up! :)

So yes this means I’m going to be doing handheld gaming systems soon! :D

I’m also going to be creating a link here on the page, that you can go to for your phones to make sure that I can skin your phone! :D
