Question for artists: how do you choose between minting a limited edition, unlimited edition, and a 1/1?

My take with music is that there should be no limitations on how many pieces can be collected, so I often post unlimited editions. It’s funny you posted this tho, because I was just thinking that my next piece will be limited, because it’s a really special piece to me, composed in a totally novel way. So I’m leaning towards making this a limited collection for a little higher cost. We’ll see how it goes! Often I will drop some AI generated images as limited collects; usually these are attached to special posts, as a way to commemorate or mark certain occasions. My series of robot PFPs (which I actually still have a bunch to release) were all 1/1s because I wanted the collector to feel they owned a unique version of myself on Lens.
Não me considero um artista, mas um criador de conteúdo, mas em geral levo em conta a utilidade, função e meta para definir o tamanho da edição, principalmente em se tratando de colecionáveis digitais, pois do meu ponto de vista eles extrapolam a função estética. Não tenho um padrão claro para definir o tamanho da edição e nem sempre está relacionado ao trabalho investido para criar a peça. Especialmente dentro do contexto do Lens, como existe sempre uma dinâmica momentânea acontecendo, as vezes levo isso em conta também na hora de definir o tamanho da edição, assim como quando apresentar algo e quando não. :)
All of my 1/1s exist on mainnet, my multiple editions are for Lens/Base. In the past it was usually how much effort or how much I like the image that determines whether it's 1/1. Now I mainly mint on Lens because there's no minting fee. Majority of my work on Lens, and in general, hasn't been collected so it's nice to not have that upfront gas cost when earning revenue can be challenging. For unlimited editions it's usually a pic of my dog or something goofy and fun 🤪
