As a class assignment I went searching for wikis involving the topic of my blog. Since I am a Graphic Designer, I searched and searched for a wiki with the type of content I was looking for but I found that for a Graphic Designer, that specific kind of content wasn't really appealing to me. I don't know about everyone else but I myself prefer to be visually stimulated when discussing design. The content I'm mainly looking for is seen not read. I found this site through another wiki site that gave an editorial on it. The first site I found was called AboutUs.com. It had a few wikis that allowed poeple to discuss their various findings and give what they thought about the different sites and resources they have discovered. One of the sites that were discussed was called Ucreative.com. As I looked through the site I found that it pretty much fit the definitions of a wiki as I understood it. Although most people might not consider it a wiki in the traditional sense, these days things have become everything but traditional. Ucreative.com is I guess less described as a wiki and more like a digital design gallery. it is interactive in the sense that you can post and edit pretty much any content on the site, but the only real content on the site are the submissions of various artists and designer looking for feedback on their projects. Anybody can submit projects to the site and make comments about projects that have been submitted by other artists and designers. It could also be described as a forum where artists and designers can openly discuss new ideas and concepts that other artists and designers can utilize in their work. The site isn't limited to professionals, it is used by amateur and novice designers and the like. It is also a great site for beginners who just want to see what kind of designs are out there or even for professionals who want to keep up with the times and what new artists are creating. I would suggest any artist to become a member of Ucreative.com.
