I think its lovely that Cy come on here and discusses things.
I do find it amazing that Coogan, SBrock , Gary Lager and others can be quite so rude about things that fine honest people have crafted.
I mean, this is Cy. His own money. His own time. No big corporation.
It’s just seems really rude.
Would it be better to throw ALOT of money into the mix/advertising, sponsored events, teams of sales people or simple stand at the coalface and hear feedback direct from your intended market?
In general folks, knowing the man or not, part of the design process isn’t about design, modelling, factory liason etc- its what potential customers say and how the product is received by the general public.
At the end of the day you aren’t making a masterpiece for a small handful of friends you are hoping for commercial success with the customer (who is and will always remain King).
Or are you too niche to listen to them? 🙄
No one in anyway is slagging Cy off. Its feedback. Butt out and stop the faux-defending. Its a product. Let the product fight its corner.
