The company, says our tipster, is creating a way for small businesses to create professional marketing materials like brochures, one pagers, etc. So if you are a plumber, for example, you go to the plumber section, select one of the pre-made designs, add your own information and then get professional looking marketing materials. It sounds a bit like Brandoozie. [...] [...] Update: Thanks to a trusty reader, we now have an idea of what PressPlane may be up to.

Google, ebay and the rest were all *designed* and functionality and interaction is a part of that. b) Branding is more than a letterhead with matching business cards. It's the way people perceive your company and your product and takes years to build. No software will ever be able to emulate that. This website is using the term incorrectly (as most people do). c) All that said, honestly, I think this is an excellent website for small clients that are just getting started or to companies that don't care about connecting with general consumers and target demographics. Because *that* is what designers do. a) Design is more than the ability to create pretty graphics. Google, ebay and the rest were all *designed* and functionality and interaction is a part of that.

Then this is the tool for you. And let's be honest, there is a segment of the market that wants that. For them, designers are only people that know how to make the magic software work, and any random shape and letters logo slapped on the same template half their competitors use is fine for them. Let them have it. They'll get what they pay for. Do you want your marketing materials to look like they were put together by an amateur? Then this is the tool for you.

It was lightweight, modular, and randomised. It also produced some fantastic results. This looks like it's bland half cousin, but I'm glad to see that someone ran with the idea that n-gen let die. in 2000, wired magazine profiled a program called the n-generator by an SF design firm.

See craigslist & google. Would people still use amazon or ebay if they werent as pretty? Absolutely, its how they got started. Design != interactions, and interactions are best done in conjunction with users, its not like designers have some magic sauce or anything. Design is overrated. See craigslist & google.
