Exclusive social networks for graphic designers

To develop as professionals in this field, it is important that we establish ties with our fellow professionals. Sharing our creations, being valued and learning to value others can be really enriching. If you are not very aware of the social media environment for graphic designers, I recommend that you visit the following places:

DeviantArt: Community that It hosts the proposals in the profiles of its creators. Its users can comment on their creations or give advice and are usually from different fields and styles (designers, sculptors, painters, pixel art, cinema ...). Fantastic, Gothic or Anime genre creations abound.

Dribbble: It is the perfect place to make your first foray into the world of design. Especially if you need objective and realistic opinions about your work, it can be quite useful since allows you to upload your creations anonymously to its gallery and wait for other creators to give you advice, opinions and ratings. It is very useful because it has a very useful voting system and quite practical search systems. We can find content either by guiding ourselves by the labels or by doing it through colors.

Threadless: This corner is also dedicated to the evaluation and scoring of design works among colleagues. It also has a very interesting peculiarity since weekly the community makes a selection or a kind of ranking with the most interesting works. After this selection, the staff reviews the most voted and chooses those that will be printed on t-shirts and sold in an online and physical store in Chicago.

Behance: One of the best known and most useful networks for presenting job offers to its users in addition to serving as an exhibitor (there are experts who periodically select the best jobs). It is also quite exclusive since not everyone can belong to it. To access professional portfolios, very valuable contacts or agreed collaborations you must submit a request to the page and be accepted.

design-related: This network works by invitation and although it does not have a very large community, it does have a fairly remarkable activity and publication rate. It also offers a section with offers exclusively for its members.
