If so, consider making screensavers. For little or no investment you can produce your own screensavers for fun or profit.Creating screensavers from digital images of your fine art, professional photographs or family photographs is easy, inexpensive and also provides another vehicle to promote and sell your artwork. Once you have created your digital images, you can have a screensaver up and running in a couple of hours. They are fun to create and can be sold as digital downloads or on CDs or given away as promotional incentives.There are lots of different screensaver software packages out there - some are free and others range from about $20.00 to $60.00.Most of the screensaver packages allow you to create unlimited royalty-free screensavers for commercial distribution from images, video and flash animation. Enhance your screensavers with background music if you wish and choose from a large variety of image transition effects. You can create standalone self-installing screensaver files for download or CD distribution. Just search for screensaver software and find the one that will work best for you.If you are going to produce your screensavers on CDs you will need to purchase CDs and Jewel Cases as well as CD mailers for shipping.To Create Custom labels for your CDs you may want to purchase some label making software, or make them yourself in your favorite image editing program. You can purchase CD labels and Jewel Case inserts in a variety of paper types like photo-glossy and matte. Remember to select Labels and Case inserts that work well with your printer. I recommend purchasing a CD/DVD Label applicator as well to simplify the process of applying the labels to the CDs.Another option is to purchase a CD printer that allows you to print directly to the CD instead of to a label. CD printers are available from HP, Epson, Canon, Primera and other distributors.Whenever you create new products from your artwork you should alert your family, friends and fans of your product releases through email newsletters, or by using Social Networking sites such as FaceBook or Twitter.So if you are looking to expand your art product base or just want to create some unique give-away promotional products, consider creating screensavers from your artwork images or professional photographs. They are inexpensive to create and provide a great way to distribute your artwork to the world.
