Looking for advice/feedback on convention booth idea
0
Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this.
First, I have had an account for a long time here, but I lost my password and the email connected to that account is dead and buried... so I had to create a new account here.
Anyways, the idea I have for a convention booth is to sell custom etched glassware with different anime and such on it. (very close to the topic picture that is posted)I will be able to make stencils out of nearly any image, and the stencils are reusable.
I just wondered how many people would be interested in something like that at a convention? And what sort of anime they would be most likely to buy.
I have a kick-starter running for this project at:RocketHub.com
You don't have to do anything, or fuel my project if you don't want to; I would just like some feedback on what people's impression of my idea is, and what they think about the layout of my kick-starter page. The page has tons of information on what I am planning on doing and it also has a video with a bunch of the images that I can put onto glass.
Thanks in advance for taking time to check this out for me, and i am looking forward to reading your advice and suggestions.

A piece of advice, you are much more likely to get more peoples' ideas if you post this in the Random/conventions section...I don't think this fits in Dreams and Aspirations...
On topic, I would say that vectors in particular would be a great idea.
For example, the philosopher's stone transmutation circle from Fullmetal Alchemist
or the village symbols from Naruto, something like this:
(Not so crazy about the series after it went bad....but lots of people still like it)
Try to find the more symbolic anime series...NGE for example, etch the Nerv symbol onto the glass.
These are just some ideas as I have no experience at all running a convention booth. Don't know how practical they are, so just use it as a possible reference.
Well...Good Luck~!
EDIT: Reported the thread (Nothing against you...just thought it would help) so that it could be moved to Random/conventions.

Mod Note: Topic has been moved from Dreams and Aspirations to the Cosplay and Conventions section.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Getting back on topic, I believe drinking glasses with anime characters and/or symbols etched upon them may catch the attention of visitors to the convention. However, in my opinion, anime is somewhat similar to fashion trends. What may be popular this season could simply be forgotten over the next few seasons.
Nonetheless, hentai doujinshis are a good indication of which anime series appeal to fans.
At the very least, I am sure holding a booth at a convention would be a fun and interesting experience, especially if you are doing so for the very first time. Good luck! :)
