I'm sorry. But nothing about this project is desirable.

The prints are, apart from one or two, boring and ugly and they are still expensive. I could knock most of them up myself and print them on my inkjet. And don't give me any bullshit about them being art, they are not, there is no deeper meaning in any of them.

Is this project getting oxygen because of the quality of the work, because of the people behind it or it being a slow week for news?

I love people who say "I could have done that" after someone already has.

Thank you Captain Hindsight !

I guess the point of PP is that we are trying to produce work in a more democratic way for people to own and enjoy. By varying the size it allows us to vary the price breaks so that it offers a price range to accomodate as many people as possible without it being elitist or exclusive. There is a affordable price, a middle ground price and an 'expensive' price. The site has been structured around this from the years of abuse blogged at me on Blanka over the years to allow more people access to nice work. I took the criticism on board and tried to create something different to counteract the critics / haters.

So as part of the democratic process we want to take on board peoples comments of how we can improve and make more interesting work, we are also encouraging people to suggest and submit work so that its not all one persons taste but represents a broader more interesting cross section of work for us and keeps things interesting and moving forward. The images that we launched with will constantly grow and evolve based on constructive feedback from our customers. So I guess if Bob or others think what we have produced is a 'pile of pointless, meaningless bull-shit' and you think you can do better then I would definitely love to see it and or suggestions on how you can think we do it better. Cheers for the feedack.

@Mark: While I think a lot of the posters on PP are brilliant (and I'm a huge fan of all the studios involved), £30 ($47) for an A2 print is still more than a bit pricey, especially given that all the prices on PP are rigid and not based on quality or popularity. Just an opinion.

@Bob: Art doesn't always have a 'deeper meaning', and is certainly subjective. Also, let me know when you've launched your own poster site with amazing work you've created yourself with your inkjet. I'll make sure and put some cash aside.

@Ike — £30 for a A2 print pricey? I don't think so. Lets not forget you're not just paying for paper and ink - you're also paying for the designers art, as well as running costs to help keep such a venture running.

If you want £15 prints get Tesco involved, then lets see what happens to the quality, and how many revered designers/photographers/artists still want to be involved.

@Blam — Nice initiative, I'm looking forward to seeing how the collection expands and evolves.
