Quark announced that it has launched a community-based Web site for designers called ilovedesign.
The Web site is developed around an interactive and accessible community concept that was inspired by a love for design.
It features the work of leading industry designers David Carson, Peter Saville, Chip Kidd, and many more and gives users the opportunity to showcase their own work and become part of a design community.
On visiting the ilovedesign Web site, users are encouraged to join this community by creating their own profiles and uploading samples of their own design work.
Users can also search, view, and rate designs uploaded by other members and even contact them in a secure way.
The content of the site will be largely user generated and the aim is to create a platform where designers can showcase their work, be inspired by the work of others, and discuss their love of design.
Video testimonials from influential designers including Carson, Saville, and Kidd provide inspiration for users, as they can watch and listen to their heroes tell their own stories, debate the relevance of design in today's world, and contemplate its future.
Designers can also learn how leading global brands, such as the Salvation Army, Metro International, Design Week, and many others, are using QuarkXPress 7 and view samples of some of their work.
