The new release is primarily about forums. You will find them here and also linked to from a slightly redesigned people page. We see forums as a platform for: / • Getting help and advice / • Discussion on technical and marketing issues / • Promoting events (both in and outside RedBubble) / • Providing feedback to RedBubble about what we should be doing / • Discussion on matters of general (or controversial) interest / • Getting feedback on your work. It is up to the community to decide what topics are raised in the forums and what direction they take. We ask that you continue to respect each other’s feelings and to foster positive debate (while not being anemic or being afraid of being controversial). Also in this release, international purchasers can now buy and there have been a large number of bug fixes (hopefully we got to yours!).

During a twilight stroll through the forum, we happened upon this live performance of a Greek tragedy. / Can you believe this photo is taken in 2006 AD? One could easily argue for, say, 206 BC! Visit our online collection to view more photographs in our Rome gallery

Eyes of forum approve of the modern Federation square Architectural Taken – 12th April 2008 The international architectural design competition announced by the then Premier Jeff Kennett in 1996 for this site north of Princes Bridge and bounded on one side by Flinders Street and the other side by the Yarra River, was the beginning of Melbourne’s Federation Square. ‘The winning scheme draws its inspiration from the unique urban characteristics of Melbourne’s arcades and lanes and transforms these elements into a new form of organisation, celebrating the city’. Federation Square was to become a new centre of cultural activity for Melbourne – the long-awaited large, open public civic destination. Lab architecture studio saw their design as one of ‘difference and coherence’ bringing together distinct elements and activities while maintaining a visual and formal coherence. They believed it reflected the true spirit of federation – independent identities combining to form a larger whole. /

THE FORUM / MELBOURNE SOME INTERESTING FACTS The exterior matched the intricacies of the interior. At the Flinders Street/Hosier Lane corner, a minaret, said to be a copy of one standing on a Turkish mosque in Cairo, was featured. On the Flinders Street/Russell Street corner, a copper-domed clock tower rose 159 feet (48.5 meters) from street level. Around the clock tower, smaller minarets, together with pressed cement walls, were broken with ornate windows, lace-like balustrading, slender columns, receding balconies and towers all painted in bright, bold colours. Construction started with excavation to a depth of 47 feet (14.3 metres) below street level. 16,700 cubic yards (15,270 cubic meters) of earth and rock were removed. Total land area covered was 22,000 square feet (6,705 square meters). The frontage in Flinders Street occupied 121 feet (37 meters), 180 feet (55 meters) in Russell Street. An amazing 1,669,000 bricks were used in the construction. The main steel girder for the Dress Circle weighed 140 tons and spanned the theatre without obstruction. The roof was made of zinc.

I shot this whilst with one of my photography students. The assignment: lines and curves. And we were shooting just in black and white. There is a superb spot on the top floor of this amazing building where you can get a great wide-angle shot but also capture a perfect reflection of what is above you. This was a five-shot bracketed HDR, shot in the monochrome picture control mode on my Nikon DSLR. Merged in Photomatix. Nikon D300 / 20mm f/3.5 F series manual focus lens @ f/11

Hello hello, So the site-wide forums have been troubling us for a long time. Less than 1% of members visit the site wide forums and there is a negative vibe in the forums that frankly we find depressing. Most of the RB staff avoid the main forums for this reason – and that’s not good. We’re in danger of becoming ‘vegans flipping hamburgers’. So what’s the plan for addressing this? Well the first thing is to get feedback out of the forums. Soliciting feedback is a dangerous activity. We raise expectations – often in a way that we’re never going to be able to meet (because of resource constraints). People start to become fixated on the things that are broken rather than the thing that work well … and the squeaky wheels can sound very loud. My current thinking is to move the feedback section to some external software designed specifically for managing feedback. I’ve set up a trial account here. The benefit of this software it reduces the double posting of suggestions (i.e. before allowing you to post a new suggestion it checks to see if the suggestion has already been made). And it gives people a maximum of 10 votes … once you have spent your votes you can vote no more. This will help us to ensure that we receive a broad range of feedback. You can see (and test) the software here: I think the next step will be to ensure that the remaining forums are open to the entire community … anything that’s a narrow interest thread really should go into a group. My current structure would look somehting like this: - Welcome forum (for new people to introduce themselves and for us to help them get started) / - Critique / - General art discussions (for things like the latest news in the art world or interesting discussions related to art and creativity) / - Help (non RedBubble help – for things like help with photoshop) / - Off topic (e.g. games, chit chat) / - Hosts support forum And we’d want to jump in to make the forums a little more positive and inviting by changing the tone and vibe of the posts. Thoughts? Peter

/ A Pocket Full of Posies Ring a-ring o’ roses, / A pocketful of posies. / a-tissue!, a-tissue!. / We all fall down. I created this from a tissue box for the Mini Challenge: Recycled Art over in the forums here on RB. The tissue box shall now live on my kitchen bench and is the new dispenser for recyclable plastic bags :) this was painted using aquarelle watercolour crayons and black marker pen, over an undercoat of white gesso…fixative applied liberally after to protect the paint work I thought this poem was very appropriate and hence the title….as it was originally a box full of tissues :) there are many variations of this poem, the one i’ve quoted is the UK version.

Redbubble represents itself as an art community and to my mind forums play an integral part on forging community interaction. So we have been having a good look at our forums and tossing around some ideas on how we can get them to work a little better for a wider audience. This is where our thinking is at right now… We’d like to create a few more areas for like minded people to be able to congregate and connect with each other within the forums. The kind of structure we are looking at is to have a few main forum categories, which will then hold a number of sub forums. For example: Welcome Forum: Subforums would include a range of ideas to help our new forum members become more involved with the community beyond just a “hello”. It’s All About the Art: Here is where people would gather to discuss art in all it’s many shapes and forms. Subforums in this category would be fairly flexible with more being able to be added if the community shows a dedicated interest. Hott Goss – Art in the news Freeform – General Art Discussion Through the Looking Glass – Photography Weave It – T-shirts Waxing Lyrical – Writing Paperworks – painting, drawing, printmaking, illustrations etc Pixellate – Digital art Redbubble Cafe: A place for general type discussions and chat with four subforums. The Lounge – a place to kick off your shoes, chill out and relax with other bubblers The Gamesroom – Feel like stretching your brain? Pit your wits against each other in the games room The Round Table – For those who enjoy deep and meaningful conversations, at the round table everybody has a voice. Pinboard – Grab a pin and post your announcement here Critique: We feel that it is important for our members to have a place where they can go to ask for constructive critique. How we would like to see this forum operate is that to be eligible to ask for critique, you would need to demonstrate a willingness to also offer critique. Even if it is simply a considered opinion, participation is what it’s all about – no matter what your skill level is. Advice Centre: This forum is for help with non Redbubble stuff like Photoshop and Equipment. Help Me Please? Tutorials Equipment Reviews Shopping advice The appearance of the forums is pretty crap, so we have asked Russ to work some of his magic to make it look a little more inviting. We are also looking to introduce a “report this post” function, which would be taken care of only by staff members rather than volunteers. So basically what we are looking at is a little plastic surgery for the forums. A nip here, a tuck there, a bit of liposuction to add some pleasing curves – not any big sweeping changes. Thoughts and feedback welcome. Rhana

Despite the minarets and the central dome, this was not shot in the Middle East. This is the central dome on the roof of the old Forum Theatre on Flinders Street in Melbourne. This was shot without a tripod, a couple of hours before midnight on New Year’s Eve, 2006. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 0.3 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm. Featured in TIME TO WATCH CLOCKS, September 2009. NewYear’sEve2006-6784

Copyright Issues and the purpose of personal Journals

Aloha kakou, / / As I am writing I notice, as I have always noticed before when publishing my journals, I see the Tips text on the sidebar of this page states: / / “Your journal is for non-creative writing, thank you notes, announcements, how-tos and general musings on life.“ So, with that in mind, this journal is a general musing on life, here on the bubble, on the subject of intellectual property rights and copyrights. It is my understanding that RedBubble is not a “photo sharing” site. / / I feel “feature” journals are inappropriate and are infringing on the intellectual property rights and copyrights of other members when they are created and published without prior written authorization. / / The relative security of this site is one of the reasons I joined RedBubble, and why I feel there are many professional members from other websites internationally who have joined RedBubble and published our work here, because we feel our work is safer here in a more stable and secure environment where it is not so easy to right/click and save or download our work. There is no totally secure website, of course, yet this is one of the best I have found. I also enjoy the fact that it is not a mine field and I am not compelled to conduct a mine sweep on my computer each time I log on. There are no annoying advertising pop ups on this site as well, and that is a good thing. / / When someone views my work I certainly want the views to be on my page reflected on my stats and not driving someone else’s stats. I want compliments and observations to be directly attached in a comment on my image in my portfolio, and not someone else’s. I am interested in knowing if many other members on this site share this view. / / When I feature the work of those members in my groups, it is rewarding for them and for me to have their beautiful imagery streaming through the image feed and promoted on the group homepage. / / When the hosts of the groups I have joined feature my work I love it, it is wonderful to receive the compliments and recognition and I am most grateful for their kindness and generosity in promoting my work. Yet it is also important to note that my work, my imagery remains within the relative security of my own personal portfolio where I control the content, and not in someone else’s personal journal. This should be easy to understand. / / There are many of my friends and acquaintances images in other members journals. It is why I am concerned when I saw them, because I am an advocate for rights, truth, intellectual property rights, copyrights, etc…. It isn’t personal, it is about the actions and it is about the ownership of the images. I work diligently in protecting my own copyrights as well as in protecting the copyrights of all photographers and artists, not only just myself, my family and friends. If I see your work in someone’s journal or on another website or webpage, or newspaper, or magazine, etc. I will notify you and hope you will do the same for me. It is very much like a “community crime watch” in our local neighborhoods. I’ll watch out for your home and you watch out for mine. It is about respect. / / There are very few circumstances where I authorize the use of my images. There are many members who agree on this subject, and there are just as many who believe it is okay, believing it is nice and complimentary for someone to choose their work to publish in their journal. Perhaps they do not realise the implications. / / I am curious how you, my viewers, feel about it. I have found it is always best to keep things positive on this website. We don’t want to draw unnecessary negative attention to ourselves. The impact can be very disappointing. I have seen many members lose their accounts over what many of us may consider trivial matters or disagreements. Because of this, I tend to fly under the radar, so to speak. So with that in mind, this is an open discussion and I would like to talk about the pros and cons of this practice. / / You may notice on the homepage of many members, including myself, we have posted a notice of copyright. Yet, I cannot help but be annoyed when I see members publishing these journals when it is clear they have not asked first for permission to publish a copy of the image. It matters not whether or not my work is included in the journals or if it is supposedly “well intentioned”. This is not about me or you or them, it is about the action, it is about the journals. I understand what some say they are trying to do in promoting the work of another artist. I simply don’t want to see this become a trend on this site. It hasn’t been happening before and I don’t want to see it started, yet it has begun especially most recently with artists joining having arrived recently from other websites transferring their practices from those websites here to RedBubble. There are behind the scenes private discussions on this subject as well, and there are forums on this topic also, although the ones I have seen are closed. / / I wish to open a dialogue, a discussion on this subject. I hope you understand, and it is important to note as well, that the confidentiality of our private BubbleMails are not to be copy/pasted and/or published publicly. Within the past year I have seen members suspended, and have their accounts closed for doing that. And so, here in my journal I would like to open this subject for public discussion. And let’s keep it on a positive note. / / Hosting a group so that you may offer true and appropriate “features” is an option any member may consider if that is something you enjoy doing. As new members familiarize themselves with this site, they will know by now the application link may be found on the bottom right of the page of the site’s Groups homepage New and dynamic groups are launched almost every day as we all work together to develop and “grow” this site. I created and launched mine well over a year ago and they have all evolved tremendously. For all of us we are continuously on a learning curve. All members may read and review the advanced full guidelines here: RedBubble Community Guidelines / / Even when launching group challenges, it is appropriate for a Host to ask first to use a members image, when not using one’s own. Whenever a member’s photograph or work of art, any type of imagery is used to represent a group creative challenge, or to use as a group Avatar, or for any purpose, we ask for authorization to use the image from the member first, not after we have already used it. And even then, I keep it within the group and never publish it in one of my own personal journals for the public to view. There are some groups who promote the works of other members both on RedBubble and on other related websites, and that is all well and good. The important thing to understand in the procedure is to begin with prior express written authorization. / When members create a journal for the purpose of “featuring” their favourite images or artists by using their images, especially without asking first, it is alarming to see the comments on those journals that other members are considering following suit with similar lists of “favourite images” in journals of their own. It is important to note that most members on RedBubble have posted similar copyright notices on their images and on their portfolio homepage to discourage this “journalistic” type of action. Have a look at the members portfolio homepage on your Watchlist for copyright notices. They are as versatile as the artists on this site. / / / Here follows mine: / / NOTICE I own full and exclusive copyrights on all my photographs, digital art, literary works and images on this website and they are protected under International Copyright laws. My images do not belong to the public domain and may not be posted in another web page on the internet or intranet, may not be published in a journal on this site or any other website such as Facebook or myspace, may not be published in any book, magazine, newsletter or newspaper, may not be duplicated, used in a derivative work of art, used as illustration for musical, dramatic, and/or literary works, or used for commercial use of any kind whatsoever without my prior express written permission, including but not limited to resale of my images without a license for use. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009. The reproduction, publication, modification, transmission or exploitation of any work contained herein for any use whatsoever, personal or commercial, without my prior written permission is strictly prohibited. All rights reserved universe wide. / / When we like an image and think it is very beautiful, or wish to “save” it for easy reference with the possibility of perhaps purchasing it in the future, we favourite it. This is what the Favorites feature is for. In doing so we create an archive virtual gallery of those images we love the most, by those artists we admire, and by favouriting the image we also send it streaming through the image feed for those who have added us to their Watchlist to see and notice. The “image feed” and “Favorites” function is what drives the site. As Hosts, we also drive the site by choosing the best among the best among those images submitted and accepted within our group art archives for featured works. That is a true feature. This way the image itself still remains within the content of the portfolio of the member. I am not entirely sure that the capability of copy/pasting location codes from the properties of our images is a good thing if it is going to be used in an inappropriate way. Even if it is a small image, I don’t want to see my work on someone else’s webpage. Consider the fact that if your image is not offered for sale, the clear gif will not protect the image if someone knows how to write the code. It is not so difficult to do. And then, they can paste our images anywhere on the internet, in a comment or a blog, etc…. with or without permission and with or without proper credit. This is one of the reasons why I have chosen the option of a watermark in the centre of my image. / / What I want is very simple. I would like to focus on promoting our own work, use our journals as they are intended for “non-creative writing, thank you notes, announcements, how-tos and general musings on life” and continue focusing on interacting in the wonderful international social network we all enjoy so much here on RedBubble with family, friends and acquaintances. RedBubble produces quality products and it is a wonderful free storefront to showcase and market our work. / / I would like to have your feedback on this issue and see your thoughts on this subject. Whether you agree or disagree, please post your thoughts on members publishing “feature” journals with the use of other members images without prior permission in a comment below. / / I wish you a peaceful evening, / Aloha e Malama pono, / / Sharon
