We’ve received a lot of feedback over quite a few weeks about the need to introduce upload limits on RedBubble and the importance of quality. So here’s an idea that we’ve been bouncing around for a while that I’d like to open up for feedback and discussion. When people first join RedBubble they are allocated a ‘gallery’ of a certain size (say 10 works). Works in the gallery would appear in the art | clothing | writing sections of RedBubble. As a person’s work is recognized by the community with comments and favourites the person is allocated a larger gallery (20, 50 and then 100 works). In conjunction with this idea we’d look to implement a ‘studio’. A studio is an area where people could upload as many works as they liked, but these works wouldn’t appear in the art | clothing | writing sections of the site. The studio would be part of a person’s mybubble space – and people would still be able to purchase works from the studio. We’re also looking to update the upload process to provide more guidance on what sort of work is appropriate for RedBubble. That is, RedBubble is a site for your best work – but it’s not an elite only site. Your thoughts are welcome.

Art Criticism: How to Criticize a Work of Art / A four step process This is what I give my students as a guide to art appreciation: 1. Description- What do I see? Study the work in detail carefully. Describe the work in full detail. Be factual. Mention everything you see. 2. Analysis- How is the work organized? Look for and talk about the elements and principles of art and design that seems to dominate the work. Look at how the artist has used The Elements of Art / • Lines- real and implied, curved and straight, direction of movement / • Shapes, Space, Forms- Are the shapes geometric or free-form? Where is the horizon? Where is your point of view as the viewer? (Above, below, in the work, or outside) / • Colors- Warm, cool, bright, dull, soft, bold, etc. / • Value- light: reflecting much light; dark: absorbing much light. / • Texture-Both the medium and the objects portrayed: rough, smooth, shinny, dull Look at The Principles of Design / • Rhythm- Are there repeats of elements or images? / • Movement- Is there an illusion of action? How does the eye move around the work? / • Balance- Formal or Symmetrical, informal or asymmetrical / • Proportion- The size relationships between one part to the whole or one part to another part / • Variety- Visual difference and contrast within the work / • Emphasis- What part is dominant, and what part is subordinate? / • Unity- Does the work hold together? 3. Interpretation- What is happening? This is more than storytelling. As in literature, you need to interpret and generalize from data given. You need to find the metaphor or allegory in the work. What is the artist trying to communicate? Use your intelligence, imagination and courage to explain and tell the meaning of the work. This is based on the facts you have observed and your own life experiences. You can express your feelings, but they must be backed up by the observations you have made about the work. 4. Judgment- What do I think of the work? Does the work hold together visually? Does it communicate with the viewer? Judge whether the work succeeds or fails. You give your opinion backed by the three steps above. To make a judgment, you need to be honest with yourself. You need to know why you feel the way you do. Three Theories of Judging Art Imitationalism -Some people believe that art should imitate what we see in the real world. / Formalism – Some people believe that the most important part of a work is in the use of the principles of design and the elements of art. A work is successful if the texture, color, lines, etc are organized properly. / Emotionalism – Some people believe that the most important part of the work is the mood the artist communicates. Perhaps it is best to use all three theories when judging a work of art. Adapted from many sources, including Arttalk by Rosalind Ragans
the elements of dance, music, drama and art combine as the visual elements represented in this design collage.

Hello, So I think it’s often useful to wait a week or two after releasing a new feature to solicit feedback – that way the feedback can be more focused on the things that aren’t working – rather than the things that are annoying because they’ve changed. A few weeks ago we released an update to BubbleMail. We made these changes so that people could see the history of their conversations and so that we didn’t have to move up and down so much to go from one conversation to the next (we wanted to make the process of conversing with people lighter and easier). So now I’d like to ask for your feedback. After using it for a few weeks what things about BubbleMail aren’t working? What things do you like? Thanks, Peter PS – we’ve had a lot of feedback about Group Mail and people not wanting to receive Group Mail via the BubbleMail interface – so we’re working on splitting Group Mail out into a different interface.

You can get a sneak preview of the new home page direction here. We would love feedback. It would be especially good if you can send it to a few friends who may not be familiar with RedBubble and see how they react. Ask them if the site would interest them. And what they think the site is about and whether they would likely explore it more. We are trying to achieve a few different things including: / - Do no harm. The current page works quite well with a very low bounce rate (~10%) of people who don’t further explore the site / - Provide a clearer view of what products are available. A lot of people have said they see the home page and don’t understand what is for sale / - Entertain people. That is give them something interesting to click on / - Show that purchasing is an important way of participating in the community (but not by any means the only or most important way!) / - Provide a place where we can promote things like competitions, bubblewrap etc more easily / - Try and convey on a single page what RedBubble is about. Thanks for any and all comments and suggestions. No promises except that everything will be read!

We’re thinking about how to make RedBubble a better place for writers The Unleashed short story competition attracted a lot of talented writers, but to be honest we haven’t done enough since then to support them on RedBubble. That will change. Initiatives in the pipeline for writers include: / 1. A new competition for short stories and poetry / 2. Redesign site – ‘gallery’ probably splits into ‘art’, ‘writing’, ‘t-shirts’. / 3. Distinguish between ‘written works’ and journal entries/blogs / 4. Reaching out to writers already on RedBubble for their input It will take some time to get all these done, but we’re keen to launch the competition and get lots of input on improvements ASAP. If you feel strongly about making RedBubble a better place for writers, now’s a great time to speak up! Let us know what you’d like to see – be it new features, website changes, community activities, etc. Also check out this forum topic seeking input from writers.
