How many times have you designed a logo and needed to put it in front of a graphics team or a client in some far off place?  Other than email, there really wasn’t any good solution.  You just had to operate on a whim and hope that it was right.

I just stumbled across a new site that offers just that, ConceptShare.com.  ConceptShare allows you to create and manage digital workspaces for the purpose of presenting and critiquing visual designs.  Users can communicate design intentions and gather feedback right through one common workspace.  You can give anyone access; such as team members, clients, managers, and so on.

Anyone from graphic designers to marketing agencies can use the services to communicate over a product or a design.  You can establish focus groups and work directly with web designers.  Product managers can have direct input into the creation of the product.  Really, there aren’t any limits.  If it’s visual, it can be collaborated on.

I, for one, am pretty excited about this concept.  We have all been wishing for some sort of digital workspace, and have been mixing and matching different tools to get the job done.  It’s almost like needing a wrench, but all you have is pliers.  You can get the job done with the pliers, but it is never quite as easy as if you had the wrench in the first place! 

ConceptShare is definitely something that I will be using quite a bit, moving forward.  I thought it might be worthwhile for some of you other designers and developers to check it out as well!
