“Daily Design Inspiration”

Nayem N.

The only site I use daily to get my daily design inspiration. It helps me a lot to showcase my daily design work. There are thousands of creative designers to follow and hair them for your project. Overall it's helps me a lot.

“100% pay-to-play, community is dead”

Dribble's feeds have become completely pay-to-play — Take a look at this example page: just *1 in 18* posts comes from a non-paid account. At this rate, I highly doubt their community will last another five years, tops. The site has been completely ruined since it was acquired.

Great community of amazing talent, great job pool, simple to use tools for hiring but bad auto-billing practices, beware.

Recently, Dribbble has implemented significant changes to its pricing policy, which now includes charges for almost every feature. Pro accounts, despite their higher cost, seem to provide little value as they mainly focus on aesthetic customization rather than promoting your shots. In the past, a Pro account cost $5, which was reasonable. However, the current pricing of $15 per month or $20 per year seems excessive and unnecessary. It's worth mentioning that previously, Dribbble only offered an annual subscription of $180, making it inconvenient for users seeking a monthly option. Additionally, the lack of transparency is evident, as the subscription price is not clearly stated on the description page. Furthermore, while Dribbble used to offer a 30-day free trial for Dribbble Pro, they have recently reduced it to a 14-day trial, indicating a shift towards monetization. These changes raise concerns about the value users receive for their money.

I used to be a heavy deviant art user, but dribbble offers a lot more. I love its sleek and minimalist design.

Tip for consumers:
Highly recommended!

Pros: Very inspirational
Exposure to many great artists
Easy to navigate
Very organized
Great networking tool

Cons: Nitpicking - but I wish that more designs were featured on each page. A tile layout I think would work wonderfully.

Summary: Dribbble. Its like Wiiings. A jolt of energy, Its like Ron Burgundy doused in panther yellow water. Ok I digress, but this is a really wonderful site that has an endless supply of images for you to peruse. I truly believe that this site really can inspire you in a multitude of fascists. Whether you are stuck on a book idea, or a math problem is crushing your brain. It's amazing the places you can find the answer you are looking for. And sometimes answers to questions that you didn't know you were asking.

DRIBLE, DRIBBLE, DRIBBBLE

My first experience with Dribbble was when I was designing an app and I couldn't find a way to make it look textured. Yes, you are thinking, "Just go to youtube stupid!", but I wanted to just see how other people were doing textures, (I was really looking for noise, but I didn't know that's what it was called). Eventually I stumbled upon some pictures that still influence me today.

I can't say enough about human ingenuity. Have a window into a playground with no limits but the human imagination is a wonderful privilege. Even further, we are allowed to open that window and get dirty with the rest of them.

Keep on, keepin' on dribbbble. I mean dribbble.

This site is so addicting. It's a perfect resource for designs looking for inspiration. It's a little difficult to get a dribbble invite to be able to post your work, but even without that, you can still check out other designers work.

It took me *4 tries* and 20 minutes just to upload a 2.3MB GIF successfully to Dribbble. Even now the GIF still hasn't actually appeared on my profile after the success notice said "it will appear momentarily", *over half an hour* since I first started uploading this.

Dribbble's systems take a ridiculous amount of time just to upload a <3MB file, and 80% of the tries fail and returns the error "this file can't be uploaded... contact support."

I cannot even delete the broken "draft" after the systems failed to properly upload the first try.

This is seriously inexcusable... how is this happening with a GIF that is not even 3MB? The site has become totally unusable, Dribbble is a sorry excuse for what it used to be.

UPDATE: Nearly one year later, just had the exact same bug. Dribbble has become trash.

If i could i would give 0 stars. I have a limited account and I just found out after applying for many designer jobs that my account isn't accessible from outside the platfrom MONTHS after i applied to many jobs with a link to my dribbble page. Absolutely worst website I was so chocked to find out my porftolio was not accessible to anyone and that many companies didnt contact me because they couldn't check my work.
Absolutely mortifiying greedy website that screws newcomers and make you pay for anything on the platfrom

Rate limited for logging in too easy. No feedback on the UI about what's happening/what's going on- user is just left guessing at system status. Customer service is very unhelpful and sends you to unhelpful articles.
