    Veerle: What is Graphic Design?

    The responses to Veerle asking “What is graphic design?” are pretty interesting. It’s amazing both how different and how similar some of the responses are, and how some people consider it art and some don’t.

    To me, graphic design is simply visual communication. It’s not a fine art (like drawing, painting, dance, or playing piano), but it is a design art (along with fashion design, interior design, architecture, etc.).

    Scrapblog: Create a world for your pictures

    A beautiful personal expression site based around the idea of scrapbooking, with a gorgeous Flash-based UI and set of wonderfully feminine default templates by the likes of Veerle Pieters and Cindy Li (and others, too). Includes spport for pulling your photos from Flickr, and several other services.

    This is what happens when people take decidedly geeky things (blogs, open APIs, wizzy Flash UIs, and so forth) and mash them up with things real (as in non-geeky) people want. Congrats to everyone involved with this — it looks like a really, really impressive web application.

    Sidenote: between this and Picnik, the Flash developers are kind of kicking our ass on the web app front. Where are the web standards-based apps that work this well?

    Sidenote #2: Anyone know what backend technologies are used in Scrapblog?

    Crazy Characters at SXSW: Day 2
