Image Spark Launch

This if for any readers out there in the creative field who find yourselves checking blogs like ffffound, jjjjound, graphic-exchange or the likes. There are a lot out there with great fashion, graphic design, typography and photography but not all pulled together like they are now. Greg Washington from Inqmnd came up with the idea, designed and directed this project which was put through the interactive design studio he works at in Toronto, Tehann+Lax. With some really great developers on hand and some nice design work, they managed to pull together Image Spark in what seemed to be a pretty short period. Basically you can upload images from your desktop, save pictures from the Internet and save images from other Image Spark users - the community. You also have the option to have 2 mood boards of your own which are pretty handy for new projects and the maneuverability is nice. I got the sign up email yesterday and jumped on right away. I think its a pretty fresh tool and should be great to keep the creative juices flowing, plus it looks dope.

Thanks for the coverage Ryan. The site isn't officially launched quite yet. We're experiencing some server load issues right now and we're starting the process of upgrading it. So if you visit and it's sloooooow, be kind, we're still in early beta.

Greg did a great job on this - But it wouldn't be fair for me not to mention that many talented hands and minds made Image Spark what it is today. Huge thanks to all (IAs, designers, developers etc.).

Wow, from a technology point of view this is fantastic, there is no limit to the creativity of social networking applications.

I got in on the beta test; I haven't had much time to use it that much - but I love it so far.
