Another option is to either remove or add some new elements to your existing design. Even the smallest of changes may help freshen up your design and create something new and different.

So if you’re finding that you’ve got some designs on your computer that haven’t sold, and you’re not sure what to do with them, try making one of some of these changes so that you might be able to sell your designs to a different market or different clients.
