Blam,
Thank you for that post regarding the poster (and the long painstaking process) and let me just begin by saying I think in the main, what you do is great, I like some of the coloboration projects you have organised, and I appreciate the hard work and effort it must take to do what you do, however I find it hard to agree that the pricing at Blanka is anything but a bit odd, for example...Design Project - Process of Printing (£55) — I got a copy of this from a Team Rep gratis, so where on earth did a cover price of £55 come from?
Dalton Maag - Type Specimen Book (£40) — If memory services me right I paid £5-£10 for this direct from Dalton Maag, and isn't it still available from DM?
Spin - Strategic Rail Authority Report (£40) — Isn't this an Annual Report? so how can it have any retail value (other than that it's been designed by Spin) or any value at all to anyone but a shareholder?...but then the A1 poster by This Studio (£20) which put into context seems well underpriced, but in reality is probably the most reasonably priced item! (why is this so cheap in comparison?)
Sorry to bring this up again, but you have to appreciate why people may initially feel (without explanation) that the pricing is just plucked out of the air!
Respect.
- you have done a lot of investigating this morning!ian
- Not really ian, I just have a few bits of what they sell, and I didn't pay anywhere near what Blanka charge!uncle_helv
