It's Like Flickr, but Design-ier


Let me introduce you to flickrdesign.  It's basically the same flickr you know and love,  except with more graphic design and without all the free will.  That junk only slowed you down anyway, right? Flickrdesign is more or less a blog featuring graphic design images from the regular flickr site except without any insightful or hilarious commentary . These featured pieces are selected by someone known only as "The Editor" and vary in style and overall quality.  You cannot post images directly  to this site, as you can on flickr, but you can e-mail the mysterious man behind the curtain and he will pass his benevolent judgement upon your art.  Despite it's deceiving use of the word "flickr" flickrdesign is not, in fact, affiliated with flickr.com.  There are some cool things over there so take a few minutes to peruse the site and then come back here and leave us some links in the comments of your favorites.

EDIT: Further research has revealed that the mysterious editor is  Cornell Campbell, a designer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Credit goes to you, Cornell.

Hi there. I enjoyed your commentary about flickrdesign :) For the record, my name is Cornell Campbell, aka "the Editor". I'm a graphic designer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My thought was, you could go to flickr and sift through the 60,000 or so images tagged graphic design, or you could stop by flickrdesign, and see a *small* selection of what (I think) are some of the best pieces.

Anyway, just thought I'd explain a little. Again, thanks for the blog entry! Have a good one.

Oh, and PS, people can also add images to the flickrdesign group on flickr.com instead of emailing them to me.
