Findingviews is changing. This is the second part of my account of this change. Last time I wrote about deeper integration to Redbubble. This has now progressed some what.
I’ve decided to make the shop the home page of this site. I want to make fuller use of this shop and hiding it in the menu won’t help there. I also want to talk more about photographs and pictures I work on so putting the gallery front and centre makes a lot of sense to me. It’s not just about seeking sales. It’s also about arranging this web site in a manner that better reflects it’s job.
I’m sticking with keeping the shop powered by Redbubble. The reasons for this are very simple. Redbubble do a great job of printing and posting my work. I thought about keeping stock and selling it directly. It turned out that conflicted with my belief that we should only use what we need. Creating stock and hording it is not as environmentally as printing images and T-Shirts individually for each and every customer.
The blog itself continues to expand and is improved by the new look. Its made up of two components, thoughts about my work and comments that should be published here on Findingviews and a stream of discoveries and thoughts from Sharedcreation. Sharedcreation seeks out to discover and publicise things that people are creating and publishing. Its a look at the expansion in creativity that has been perpetuated by the Internets ability to enable low cost distribution. I believe that this is changing bout how our culture operates and also how we get our entertainment. I feel sure that this can only get more interesting.
The actual black on white design itself is meant to enable reading. I hope it achieves that.
There are other updates and changes to come. I’ll update this blog as these happen.
