Choosing your direction

NFTs can represent 100s of different assets or access to different artwork, video, music, passes, poems you name it. Choosing how you will approach the NFT space is an important first step.

Among the many questions you will be asking yourself when entering into NFTs is what direction your artwork will go and choosing what type of NFT artist you want to become.

There are essentially 2 types of current NFT main approaches out there; 1 - Being a 1 of 1 artist creating unique pieces or making small editions of the same artworks 2 - Creating a "Generative" project that has a large number of characters with different attributes that are randomly assigned to each artwork at the time of minting.

There is a 3rd option too of doing NFTs community based projects although there are very few out there right now.

Most artists start off as a 1/1 artists and can later decide if they want to go for a larger generative project or even if that's appropriate for their art.

The most important thing is to remember that these directions are only the result of the evolution of the NFT space. There will be more innovations and changes in the space that could be lead by a creative person like yourself.

Consider the framework of how NFTs are sold as a creative element in and of itself, take a creative approach to how you may want to set your project apart.

In Graphic Design there is a great concept that says you have to learn the grid before you can break it. Likewise in NFTs you should learn all of the history of the development of NFTs so that you can break the expectations and create something new and different.

This is just a reminder that you as Artists have the creative power to change the expectations, change the focus and the game by applying your creativity to your whole approach to NFTs not only your artwork itself. Get creative!
