Dribbble invite competition: Want one? [CLOSED]
As you may have heard, I have one Dribbble invite left.
What is Dribbble?
Dribbble is a closed community of graphic and interface designers who share their work and give feedback on other designer’s work. It’s a little like Twitter for design.
Dribbble asks you “What are you working on?” and you can publish sneak peeks and shots of your work with 120,000 pixels or less. All you have to to is make a screenshot up to 400×300 pixels, upload it on Dribbble and you and others can comment, like, rebound and tag this and other beautiful shots. You can follow other designers like you do on Twitter, so you never lose a shot you like.
Dribbble wants to be very high quality with designers and the work. This is why only members can draft other people.
Well known designers like Shaun Inman, Mike Rundle, Tim Van Damme, Meagan Fisher, Veerle Pieters and many more are on Dribbble.
How can I win this invite?
It’s easy. Send an E-Mail with the following information to this address: contact@thomasmaier.me.
- Your Name and why you want to be a part of the Dribbble community
- Your website (designed by yourself with your impressum)
- Other work you’ve done (which can also be shown on your website)
- What work you will publish on Dribbble
- In full sentences of course
I will keep your data private. I don’t like spam either.
I need this information to estimate you because I want to keep Dribbble clean from lolcats (they are funny, but not supposed to be on Dribbble) and so do the people behind Dribbble. And they would know who to blame.
I will send the winner and invite within about a week or so (depends on the participation). If there is nobody worth inviting, the invite will remain ungiven, but I am totally sure this is not going to happen.
CLOSED – 15.6.2010
The competition is closed.
Sneak peek: Upcoming thomasmaier.me redesign
I’m redesigning my website. Actually I am on it right now in Photoshop.
My website is pretty nice at it is now. It’s also very successful. But my goal now is to improve it even more. I’m working on it since two weeks. And if you’ve seen the WWDC 2010 keynote of Steve Jobs with the new iPhone 4, you see, that you can improve devices, which are already far ahead, even more. That’s my goal, too. I want to make it look more realistic, put more information in it by decreasing the complexity at the same time. It is going to be optimized for widescreen displays, multi-touch and will use new HTML5 and CSS3 techniques. I will also split blog and portfolio into two parts so you can focus on both of them much better. I’m really ambitious with it. Hope you’ll like it. The following images are sneak peeks and maybe they will not represent the final appearance but the state as it is now:
