Yay!
Little endeavor with few friends of mine has bared fruit! Finally! I mean, man am I glad, or am I GLAD!
Since I'm into graphic and web design, I always need some references to the ideas and work that I have and most of these come from the net. So I have build my own bookmarks to the enormous size and that's great, but what happens when someone accidentally erases your bookmarks (like my brother few months ago)? Well you can say, there's del.icio.us but I say I want straight to the point sites that involves my line of work, and I want my colleagues to see them too and so that they can also send lists of their favorite sites. I want to hear what others have to say and I want to see what other people are doing, want to learn from others... Anyway, we got together, and decided to make a site that would be a database for designers, artists and web developers with gallery of the inspirational sites and resources depending on the line of work they are into. This sites are listed solely to the reference by the other users, by the positive comments they gathered, usability, innovative deign, mood, functionality, etc. Some sites will be pointed out as the way things should never be done as an example to educate people how to create ergonomic and user friendly design.
There are categories that are listed as inspiration, resources and living. Inspiration and living have their galleries with explanations for every site while resources have listings judged by their usefulness. What's the coolest thing you can cast votes and recommend sites by yourself! Our purpose is to help people like us learn and expand our views in art, design and amalgamate all that in our work.
I hope that this is just a beginning and that we will gather many more useful criticism from the users so that we can help each other.
So here we are at a new beginning and be sure to check out
