Create Louisville Launches
Everyone's a critic, right? That's especially true for creatives. How many times have you wished you could grab the person that designed an ad or billboard and say, "Hey, there are other fonts besides Myriad Pro!" or "FYI, white glows around objects died in 1987." or better yet, "Nice layout! Keep up the great work!"I think this project is a great concept and I'm not saying that just because the project organizers hired me to do a little behind the scenes work on the site (HTML, CSS, Movable Type). I love the idea of the advertising community being able to openly discuss, praise and criticize the work that's coming out of Louisville, in a constructive manner instead of the "that sucks" you frequently hear when someone is criticizing creative work online.
Now you can.
CreateLouisville.com is a forum for constructive criticism and stimulating conversation. We want to get better at our craft, and help raise the bar on work that comes out of our city. We've found that the only way to do that is to first admit that there is always more to learn, no matter how long you've been in the industry.
The site has already looked at some work that I like a great deal like the Bill Green poster from the Five0Two project and a Ben Sollee show poster designed by Circle One Design. I can't wait to see what they talk about next.

Please consider advertising on

I'd love you forever and you'd get the attention of really smart local people.











"The creators of the site want it to be an open, honest forum where people are judged on their work, and not who they are or who they work for. For that reason, each user is anonymous, as well as the staff. Please feel free to sign up and contribute. We’d love to hear what you have to say!"
That speaks to the users being anonymous, but you say your issue is with the creators being anonymous. Well, one of the creators has "outed himself" so to speak in the Bill Green poster comments. Beyond that I can give you my word that the people behind the site are nice and have really good intentions. They want to get the word out about good working being done in Louisville and they want to help the work in Louisville get even better. I hope that's enough for you to consider being active in the discussions on the site. I think your voice would be a welcome addition.
