3 Design communities you don’t want to miss out on.

Designatr will be a place where bands can go to find designers to do things like cover art, poster design, CD design, and possibly even band branding. Of course, it is also a place where designers will be able to go to find work to add to their portfolios. Definitely a great resources as more and more people are coming together to create music at a time where almost everyone wants to be a designer of some sort. Definitely stay up to date with them.

The Design community is diverse and spread across the globe; suffice to say it’s hard enough to connect with other designers to grow more as a professional. Luckily there are groups of people who make it their duty and pleasure to provide the design community with resources, help, and most of all – networking. Today I’m bringing three up and coming design communities that you definitely don’t want to miss out on.

1. Designatr – “Designer Meets Band”

One of the more interesting things I’ve heard of lately. I’d have to say it’s one of the few interesting coming soon pages that actually got me interested in what it was. Apparently Designatr will be a place where bands can go to find designers to do things like cover art, poster design, CD design, and possibly even band branding. Of course, it is also a place where designers will be able to go to find work to add to their portfolios. Definitely a great resources as more and more people are coming together to create music at a time where almost everyone wants to be a designer of some sort. Definitely stay up to date with them.

2. Fuel Brand Network – Fuel Your Portfolio

Anyone familiar with Fuel Your Creativity knows that they produce quality stuff. Much like Envato, they’re a group trying to provide as many quality resources for designers as possible by gathering them into one place for the community. The particularly communities you don’t want to miss out on are their “Fuel your Portfolio” and “Fuel Your Career”. The details are still somewhat in the dark but my general assumption is that they will provide the design community with a place to submit and rate portfolios as well as look for related jobs.

3. FaveUp – Envato Network

Creattica has always provided a great daily digest of design inspiration and it’s great to see that they launched a place where designer can submit logos, illustrations, and portfolios and have them rated by the rest of the design community. The layout showcases the best of the day in terms of designers and it’s a great way to get yourself known in the community.
