Dribbble? Really?
Dribbble is neat and all, but using it to find a designer is like picking a book by looking at the lower lefthand corner of the cover--it doesn't tell you anything. You might find a designer who is good at fancy effects in photoshop, but it won't tell you much about UX, architecture, coding experience, etc.
Dribbble could be the start of your browsing experience, but should by no means be viewed as the go-to place.
- petervandijck 15y agoI'm not looking for ux/architecture/coding when hiring a designer.
- sgdesign 15y agoDribbble will show you someone's process across multiple projects, and give you some perspective on their work through other designer's comments. I stand by my affirmation that it's the single best place to find a designer.
- thomasgerbe 15y agoDesigners live and die by their portfolio.
- huhtenberg 15y ago- I hate cats - the hair, the smell... - Oh, you just don't know a good recipe Same with Dribbble. All good designers have links to their portfolios full of uncropped samples of their work. Most of good designers on Dribbble also have Pro accounts meaning that their "shots" typically have full-size versions attached to them and the shots are organized into the projects. Nobody is saying that one needs to pick a designer because of that one 400x300 shot that looks awesome. What the OP meant is that Dribbble is a great visual directory of a metric ton of really good designers.
