Graphicstart.com Offers 400 sources from the creative, publishing and printing sectors

Designers, creative professionals, publishers and printers can now have one source for all of their graphic arts news, Graphicstart.com. Providing news, blogs, views and reviews from more than 400 outlets within the industry, Graphicstart.com is the destination for the print and new media sector.

Graphicstart.com is much more than just a site for statically listing news, it takes advantage of Web 2.0 culture and social environments. Features of the site include: a rating system based on users votes, and a powerful search feature of the site's rich database of graphic arts data.

Today, specific and useful data, updated by the minute is important for designers and prepress professionals. To help facilitate the transfer of information, Graphicstart.com employs a "Watch" feature, that alerts the user via an email (and associated RSS feed if desired) when their unique keyword and other relevant content has been found across the site. Currently, Graphicstart.com has millions of database entries and whenever keyword searches are executed, as an example, 'FlightCheck' the result will be directly related to the graphic arts sector, not an unrelated sector, such as aviation as other search engines produce when such a search is performed.

Within the 'Articles Section,' one will find useful resources, such as all graphic arts shows listings for 2008. As an example, the "Drupa 2008 Watch" page, which you can stream to your own site and Graphic Art Show Listing page are currently receiving many views per day.

Any subscriber, which is free, can submit articles and we invite all graphics artists, printer and publishers to submit news, views or press releases. Other features of Graphicstart.com include press release submission, most read articles, customized RSS feeds and much more!
