Choose the RedBubble Home Page

Jo O'Brien Jo O'Brien 4988 posts

You are invited to select images for the RedBubble Home Page.

This is the continuation of the original, member inspired home page thread.

When choosing work for the home page, this is what we aim for:

  1. All images are available for sale on RedBubble
  2. Eight different artists are featured
  3. None of the images are under the Not Safe For Work filter
  4. We try for one t-shirt per home page (but sometimes this doesn’t work and sometimes all T’s works really well)
  5. The eight works look good together
  6. We try to give some home page love to new members and people who haven’t been featured before
  7. Bonus: We love it when people collaborate on a home page selection

Ideas for Choosing a Home Page:

  1. Choose from the leaderboard of a recent group challenge
  2. Does someone you know have impeccable taste? Choose from their favorites list ;)
  3. Search under a key word or two, and jump to the last page of results to uncover some hidden gems
  4. Browse through some new talent
  5. Posted here a few times already? Collaborate on a home page selection with a friend

When posting your choices, it is particularly helpful if you include small sized images of your selection.
You can learn how to add images to a forum post here here and here and this one has been written especially for this thread :)

Note (Jan ‘09) There has been a change in RB’s URL format. The change is explained here

For the very keen, there is also a topic especially for home page discussion ...and how amazing is this – one very lovely bubbler is keeping a homepage blog


To get the ball rolling, this is an example of how to post your selection:

First of all I haven’t posted in a while… and wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for starting a new thread!!!!!!
And I wanted to ask a question….. since when were we encouraged to include a t-shirt design? I don’t remember ever seeing that mentioned before. Does that mean my selections are less likely to be chosen if I don’t include one? I don’t really care for t-shirt designs.. I mean, I don’t intentionally try to make t-shirt HP layouts… so I don’t see why it’s necessary for me to try and include one if it doesn’t go with what I’m trying to feature.

Second of all, here’s my October/Halloween theme:

We won’t ignore a selection just because it doesn’t have a t-shirt in it, however we are particularly keen to see selections which cover as many of these criteria as possible.

@ Sanne

The original thread won’t go anywhere. It has been locked and linked up to this one, and it will just gradually sink down the pages. It won’t dissappear though. It will be easy to find for the next week or two while it stays relatively close to page 1, but will get harder to find later. Bookmark it early so that you can browse directly to it in your browser.

Thats one brilliant blog you are keeping by the way :)

@Jessica Walker – yes it has always been encouraged that you include a tshirt. Check out other homepage features on Sanne’s blog. Almost all of them have tshirts in them.

@CJ – congrats hun. The page looks great!

Green. I don’t think the order of images is ideal but just putting them on a page was enough.
