haters?
think its more of a constructive criticism that some have given.
after all, WE are their target market ....
... and we are all saying we hate the site and that it puts us off browsing around it.they'd probably make a lot more sales by having a more up to date site that was easier to navigate and better sized images of their wares.

i agree,they desperately need a new site.
ive always thought theirs was pants and unusable
you'd think they'd have the cash to splash out seeing as they make so much money on the stuff they sell.i don't see the big wow factor of paying that sort of money for prints like that. if you are a designer or illustrator then make your own and adorn the walls of your home or office with your own work.
so when people come round and compliment your artworks you can say "i did them" :)
rather than people coming round and you having to explain why you think that the poster is actually worth £300 and the fact that "its by a famous designer" isnt really going to cut it for anyone else other than graphic designers.

Someone is going to come and say we're all haters, but:
- site navigation is horrendous
- some things are overpriced.That being said, I appreciate sites that sell design books and posters.

Do people pay these prices?
- phatlee0
Plus, I can't believe some of the prices.
This http://www.blanka.co.uk/Books/De… isn't worth £63.25! I got mine for free when it first came out!
- yeah I agree, im sure some of the prices have gone up as wellFallowDeer
- suppose as stuff gets rarer, they can put the price upalnove

agree with all the site comments - I'm not bothered if its "boring", but the hellish navigation makes using the site boring, that's for sure.
I always seem to remember having to click a million times to go into nested projects which seemed to make no sense, not knowing where I was in the structure, things of that type.
I honestly thing that if they redesigned their site with the conventions of e-commerce catalogue browsing in mind they would make a lot more money.
- They need to sort out the prices, a madethought poster is £34 on one page then its £46 on anotherFallowDeer

Love the content, but I'm always put off purchasing anything because of the site.

It used to be hell to navigate the site because it was so slow, now it is just boring. As WLN said though, good content.
