Nice, I love those Michael Gillette bond covers (think I'll wait till habitat buy them up!!), but yet again design posters that are way too expensive!!

How much do those cost? They look amazing.

Way too expensive? Really?
- average about £150 for a poster, I aint gonna go into the ins and outs of why, but seriously!!!uncle_helv
- They're all high quality giclée prints and a very low print run... hence the price (I assume).ximeraLabs

When everyone accuses the prints of being overpriced, does anyone try to factor in how much the prints cost to make? [if you make a run out at a bureau at the size of these prints the individual cost is £50 each just to make an inkjet to this standard] and then also consider how long the designer spent creating each piece specifically for this exhibition or how long Darren who spent a lot of his valuable time on making this event happen and organising the event making sure all the artist delivered on time or the cost of framing all the work. Then factor in the expense of having a launch night and the cost of displaying the work in a gallery space in Soho, it cant be a drop in the ocean either. I know from experience these events can be a labour of love and the organisers can be lucky to break even on it, the hidden costs soon rack up and the risk of taking on an exhibition like this and being out of pocket are high. If you enjoy the work great, go there and absorb it, but if you dont have the budget or you don't earn enough to buy the prints on sale, then nobody is making you, stop knocking designers and artists who give up their time to make inspiring exhibitions like this, go give your money to habitat where prints are made in there thousands and artists like Michael Gillette would probably never licence his artwork to them anyway.

- I know you know you're making some valid points, but do you know you're coming off like a whiny bitch?flavorful
- I actually don't have a problem with the costs to be honest, I just didn't like your tone I guess.flavorful
- Not everyone is going to think your shit doesn't stink so get your head out of your ass.flavorful

Hahahaha easy Blam!
I was joking about the Habitat comment, all I'm saying is this is just pornography for designers, and I don't have a problem with it, just wouldn't pay it (well I probably would) but I have a wife who, although is very supportive of my career, and the impact it has on lives, would probably divorce me if I tried to get that one past her, Like I say I'm not knocking it, why on earth would I knock the very profession I'm part of!- What I'm saying is it's a lot of money for something that would be hung in my shoe box sized office!!uncle_helv

Sorry...I didn't put this back in the Editors choice. For some reason it disappeared off the site and when I re-edited it appeared back in Editors choice :( Feel free to Knock it back down below.

Blam- out of a $150 purchase fee how much would the artist get? Its not a loaded question I follow your reasoning fully.

The profits are distributed accordingly between gallery/manufacturer, organizer(s) and artist.
