Geometric Porn

This weekend I met someone who was very much into adult videos/photos. He seriously suggested me to become an adult website designer, because there is a huge demand for talented designers. He showed me a few examples and I must say I saw more porn in those few minutes than in my entire life.

However, the quality of the design of the image galleries was just poor. And 99% of the photos and videos of the women exposed were just not aesthetic in any way. And yes I know that's not the purpose of porn… but still.

I don't especially have to relate 100% to the product or message my clients want to move forward, but it does make it more fun to work on. I'm not convinced that working on anything porn related would fit in with my ideas on design. But that was until I saw this app preview video: Geometric Porn.

Apple rejected the Geometric Porn iPhone app in february. Apple's App Store review policies have been very inconsistent in terms of defining porn, so where did this app cross Apple's line from art to "obscene content"? A commenter on Luciano Foglia’s video demo suggested a way to figure it out when the App would be accepted by Apple: keep submitting increasingly abstract versions until it gets accepted. Interesting!
