Convention day set up

This is the set up we managed to create on the day of the convention.

I think all my practice and research really paid off.

The overhead stand really made our stall stand out against the other tables and more importantly, gave me enough room to display my work as it would not all have been visible on a half table.

Thankfully duct taping the stand to the table did work really well without mishap and everything seemed very stable.

I ended up not putting Harley and Ivy prints together as I'd planned. This is because when I saw the set up, I wanted to move my Mononoke down to the table so it would be at eye level with the people as they were walking round. As Frank had a lot of likes online I also wanted to keep him at eye level, the same with Frozen as it is such a popular film. I wanted to keep Rey, Mulan and Dany up top as they were the most colourful prints (by having those up top I hoped they'd be eye-catching and draw people over to the table.) This left Harley and Ivy split up unfortunately by dint of everything else. I also didn't put an offer on the two of them together because of the fact it would be hard to put on two prints that were no where near each other. I was also worried about underselling my work by having an offer and letting the prints go for cheap. As this would be my first ever convention, I wanted to see how things would sell and then adjust prices for my next con based on the results of this one.
