The Sciences and the Arts

When I did a little brainstorming on what to write about in this particular blogpost, my brain did a runner with the science part in mind. But upon thinking about the arts connected with social web it came back singing, dancing and smiling.


The first thing I wrote down in my notebook in thick bold letters was: deviantART. 

DeviantArt has been around for a while. The community is large and the site is fully featured. It's a great place to just look at art and what people are doing. There's just so many people posting there that you can see tons of stuff. The site puts the artwork in the forefront. The profiles really showcase the art and you can just look at someones profile or go to the art with very few clicks. Some of the other sites take a bit more work to actually see a full sized image: clicking through to searchs, profiles, albums and then finally artwork.

Another thing that came to mind was Designflavr. Designflavr is a moderated art and design showcase built upon user submissions. It's a really great site. You can sit back, browse through beautiful art and let yourself get inspired.

I definitely recommend those two sites if you're worn out and need some new input :)
