Ways To Potentially Improve Redbubble by Kevin Thai

Posted on January 12, 2011

A mate of mine, has recently posted an interesting short blurb to drive people to vote on a couple of the suggested improvements for what is already a great portfolio based community here

One of the main and highly popular improvement or addition I should say is to allow us to be able to bulk edit our artworks, which I am finding myself at times wishing this feature was available as I sometimes can sit on one occasion and upload about 3 or 4 of my artworks, it would be nice to leave them out of the groups until once all my work has been uploaded.

Here are some other ideas that are not on the agenda that I would like to propose:

  1. 1) When uploading the art and choosing which groups they should belong to, I am finding myself at times forgetting the rules and requirements on some Redbubble groups due to the group title sometimes not including things like e.g. 2 images a day it would then be nice that when I am at the time adding the work to these groups I can click on the actual group title and bring me to a new window/tab showing the group front page
  1. 2) I know we currently have the option to create our own Bubblesite, but needless to say the current themes or layouts are somewhat limited and this second idea could really go either way;

      a) Provide more templates and layouts to customise our bubblesite to suit

     OR

      b) Allow us the option to customise our profile page with tick box options like how many thumbnails to show, show new or popular works on the main profile page (I know you can already do this by browsing all artwork for a particular user but would be handy and flexible to control what content is shown

Anyway, in saying all of this, Redbubble has definitely changed from when I first began using it back in 2009 and there’s been a lot of positive changes but unfortunately there are some minor lacking features or options that could really help the Redbubble community as a whole.

What does everyone else think on this? And also if you believe there would be other useful features that many of us would benefit from, feel free to add them in the comments here.

Bye for now!
