Designflavr.com - Inspirational Art and Design Online

DesignFlavr is a virtual gallery for aspiring artists. While the web may be littered with talented, up-and-coming artists, it is hard to find a centralized, reputable site to showcase their work. DesignFlavr hopes to change this by providing a space where the art has been reviewed and verified (there is no copyrighted material), and members can rank each piece of art. Every artwork has a link back to the creator’s website, but the site clearly focuses on the art rather than artist. DesignFlavr does not claim to peddle portfolios or provide for free image hosting; rather, the site only seeks to give deserving artists recognition.

“Welcome to DesignFlavr, Inspirational Art and Design served daily.
DesignFlavr is a breed of website that hopes to deliver the latest and freshest art and design straight to you with no frills and no hassle. The concept behind this website is to help support the vast and ever growing number of Designers and Artists that reside here on the World Wide Web.”

DesignFlavr has the same appeal as a museum, but is much more accessible. It is the perfect venue to spend a few hours browsing the selection of artwork. It also has the potential to bring together a set of legitimate artists with a global pool of buyers.

Will DesignFlavr expand its business model to act more like an art broker? At this point, it has a very narrow mission, but could expand to be even more useful to artists and browsers alike.
