Create DIGITAL FILES To SELL From Vintage Magazines (Public Domain) 

this is correct

Yes that is a great question and it really depends on what the customer wants to do with the SVG file. If they want to use it strictly as a cut file, then I try to make sure that the SVG has minimal nodes. If the image is complicated (and I don't want to reduce the image down), then I will put a disclaimer in the listing that this is NOT FOR CUTTING. People buy SVGs for all sorts of reasons (they might want to make a tattoo design or a mural or use it on a website) so I try to make the design with the fewest nodes without it looking bad. Hope that helps!

@@craftystax yep, that helps! Thanks heaps.

It's a great question and you are right - with different countries, public domain can be different (and we are basically listing globally). For me - I stick to sites like Comic Book Plus or Rawpixel or in this case, really old magazines. I steer clear of ANY trademarked items in the magazines (so I would not pick an old Coke bottle for example or a Barbie doll advertisement). And then I also wonder "what are the chances that someone is actually going to track me down and lodge a complaint". So in this example, these old magazines are out of print, the publisher is defunct... chances are that no one is going to get wound up that I am taking a picture of a fox inside the magazine. That is how I think about it anyways!!

Yes good question - I typically list what it is and then the word "vintage" - so for example "vintage women" or "vintage car" or "vintage cartoon", that sort of thing.

Yes those are great questions. On Etsy, they would be listed as a digital product (and typically have "vector" or "SVG" in the title and/or description. People typically use vectors for websites, print on demand or for "cutting" with a digital cutting tool. I did a walkthrough of a machine that I own that uses SVGs, hopefully that helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DdbWnVUVZjQ.html

@@craftystax thank you so much for the reply ! Love your channel …I’m actually watching an older video of yours as I type this !👏🏻💜🙏🏻

It's a great question - I would say yes generally they are, except for anything that is trademarked (like a Pepsi advertisement for example). I would personally steer clear of those!

You are most welcome - yes absolutely you can - here is a video on how to trace a bitmp in color: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZvXy1FcNMEA.html

Hey there - I have to admit I'm not super familiar with Printify or PlaceIt. But generally, a PNG file is the one you want. A PNG file has a transparent background (so it looks good on a product). Typically in the Printify screen you would upload your PNG file and then "place it" where you want the image to sit in real life on the tote bag?

That is an interesting question - you certainly could sell AI-generated art as a digital download. It would really depend on what the customer wants to use the digital download for (like typically an SVG vector file is used on a cutting machine so it would be more complicated to make a vector with AI, but not impossible).

Great question - if you are selling it on your own website, then no one cares. But if you & someone else are selling the exact same design on Etsy, then the 2nd uploader runs the risk of getting a copyright strike. I recommend changing something about the public domain image to make it unique.

You certainly could register the copyright for any piece of art - realistically, the government agency isn't going to know (or care) whether it is based on a public domain piece of art. There are examples of public domain artwork that has been modifed and then a new type of creative commons is applied to it, so it is definitely possible.

@@craftystax Thank you for your reply, much appreciated.
