A community answering the question, “What are you working on?”. Web designers, graphic designers, illustrators, icon artists, typographers, logo designers, and other creative types share up to 48 small screenshots (<a href="#shots">shots</a>) per month that show their work, process, and current projects. Dribbble is also a place where designers and companies promote their work and products, find designers for hire, and receive work inquiries.</p> <p>Uploading work and commenting requires an <a href="#invitations">invitation</a>. This helps us scale the site and community gracefully. But anyone can sign up to follow, like, and curate the work being shared.</p> <h2 id="what-is-proper-behavioretiquette-for-members">What is proper behavior/etiquette for members?</h2> <p>Read our <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/guidelines">Community Guidelines</a> for tips and rules for being a good team player in the community.</p> <h2 id="how-does-blocking-work">How does blocking work?</h2> <p>You can block another Dribbble user by clicking on the gear icon on their profile page, and selecting “Block [user]”. After blocking a user, the blocked user will not be able to:</p> <ul> <li>follow you</li> <li>leave comments on your shots</li> <li>add you to lists</li> <li>add your shots to buckets</li> </ul> <h1 id="signing-up-and-signing-in">Signing Up and Signing In</h1> <h2 id="i-signed-up-for-dribbble-but-i-didnt-receive-the-confirmation-email">I signed up for Dribbble but I didn’t receive the confirmation email.</h2> <p>If you don’t see the confirmation email, make sure to check your Spam folder and, if you’re using Gmail, please check the <em>Social</em> and <em>Promotions</em> folders.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/http://dribbble.com/contact">Contact us</a> if you don’t find it there.</p> <h2 id="i-cant-remember-my-password-for-signing-in-how-do-i-reset-it">I can’t remember my password for signing in.

Inactive Dribbble accounts may be renamed or removed at our discretion. We will not rename or remove an active account except in the case of name squatting, which is prohibited.

Usernames may not be inactively held for future use.</p> <p>Attempts to buy, sell, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for Dribbble accounts or usernames are prohibited and may result in account suspension or removal.</p> <h2 id="whoops-i-accidentally-signed-up-as-a-scoutprospect-how-can-i-switch">Whoops!

However, to upload shots or leave comments, an invitation from a member is required. Invited (drafted) members are called Players. If you wish to be drafted, be sure to check the box marking yourself as a Prospect in your account settings.</p> <h2 id="why-does-dribbble-have-an-invitation-process-to-share-work">Why does Dribbble have an invitation process to share work?</h2> <p>All players (members who can post shots) are drafted (invited) by members. Having members take responsibility for those they draft sharpens the focus on sharing interesting work. We also limit invitations, which helps our tiny company scale the site and our support of it. This strategy is imperfect—we know there are many fantastic designers still undrafted—so our efforts to grow gracefully are ongoing.</p> <h2 id="how-are-players-drafted">How are Players drafted?</h2> <p>We periodically issue invitations to existing Players who, in turn, use those to draft (invite) new Players to post their work on Dribbble.</p> <p><img src="/web/20160912162630im_/http://help.dribbble.com/images/examples/sam-prospect.png" width="300" class="fig"/></p> <p>Players with invitations can draft Prospects using the “Draft” button on Prospect profile pages. Designers without Dribbble accounts can also be invited from the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/account/invitations">Invitations</a> page.</p> <p>If a Player chooses to draft a Prospect, an email is sent with a URL to accept or decline the invitation.</p> <h2 id="with-so-many-prospects-on-dribbble-how-will-i-ever-get-drafted">With so many Prospects on Dribbble, how will I ever get drafted?</h2> <p>We know trying to find an invite can be tough sometimes, but there are a few ways you can improve your chances of catching a Player’s attention:</p> <ul> <li>Fill out your profile (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/account">Account settings</a>). Help the community get to know you! Upload an avatar and write a short bio so members can get a better feel for who you are and what you’re about.</li> <li>Add your skills and location. Potential drafters will be able to find you by your skills and location via <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/designers">Find Designers</a>.</li> <li>Link to your portfolio. Players with invitations will want to see your work, so be sure to add a link on your profile to a website that shows off your work.</li> </ul> <h1 id="shots">Shots</h1> <h2 id="what-are-shots">What are Shots?</h2> <p>Shots are small screenshots (400×300 pixels or <a href="#what-is-an-2x-shot">@2x</a> 800×600 pixels for HiDPI or Retina displays) posted by members to show what they are working on. Some have called Dribbble “Twitter for designers.” Shots are to Dribbble as tweets are to Twitter.</p> <h2 id="is-there-a-limit-to-how-many-shots-a-player-can-upload">Is there a limit to how many Shots a Player can upload?</h2> <p>Players can upload up to 48 shots per month. When a new Player is drafted, they start with 48 available shots, no matter when they’re drafted. On the first day of each month, we reset everyone’s count so each player has 48 shots free. For example, if you have 10 shots free on March 31, you’ll get 38 more on April 1; if you have 0 free, you’ll get a full 48.</p> <p>There is also a 5 shot per day limit to discourage a single user from flooding Dribbble with a ton of shots in a short period of time. No ball hogging!</p> <h2 id="what-is-a-rebound">What is a Rebound?</h2> <p>A rebound is a shot in reply to another shot. Rebounds offer a way to follow up and “link” two shots together. For example, a sketch can be rebounded with a finished design, or alternate concepts of a design can be rebounded so there’s a reference trail to follow.</p> <p>Rebounds can also be purely for fun—what you’re working on doesn’t have to be for work. :) For example, any player can create games or memes allowing other Dribbble players to riff off an initial shot to get their takes on the same idea.</p> <p>You can see many examples of rebounds on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/shots?list=playoffs">Playoffs</a> page.</p> <h2 id="what-is-an-attachment">What is an Attachment?</h2> <p>An Attachment is an extra file that Pro members and members of teams can upload along with their shots (PSDs, .zips, larger images, etc.). You can attach up to 5 files per shot (each having a 10MB max). You can also check a box when cropping to keep the larger, original image as an attachment when needed.</p> <h2 id="what-is-a-project">What is a Project?</h2> <p>A Project is a collection of a player’s shots that have been grouped because they share a common theme. Projects are viewable by anyone, but can only be created by members with Pro accounts.</p> <p>You can see many examples of projects on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/projects">Projects</a> page.</p> <h2 id="what-is-a-bucket">What is a Bucket?</h2> <p>A Bucket is a collection of shots that any Dribbble member can create. While logged in, click the ‘Bucket’ link on any shot to add it to a bucket.</p> <p>You can see many examples of buckets on the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/buckets">Buckets</a> page.</p> <h2 id="what-is-an-2x-shot">What is an @2x shot?</h2> <p>Dribbble allows 800×600 pixel uploads that are displayed at 400×300 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/http://www.alistapart.com/articles/a-pixel-identity-crisis/">reference pixels</a> in HiDPI displays (e.g. Retina). If the device is capable, Dribbble will serve the larger image for twice the clarity of a normal 400×300 shot. In normal resolution displays, we’ll deliver a downsized 400×300 image instead. You can follow the @2x link on the shot page to view the 800×600 original.</p> <p>Confused? You’re not alone. Web design is getting all complex and stuff. Check out <cite><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/08/20/towards-retina-web/">Towards A Retina Web</a></cite> for more on designing for HiDPI displays.</p> <h2 id="what-does-hidpi-stand-for">What does HiDPI stand for?</h2> <p>HiDPI stands for High resolution Dots Per Inch when referring to displays. For example, the Retina displays found on the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro are HiDPI. Dribbble allows @2x 800×600 pixel image uploads that we show at 400×300 reference pixels for twice the resolution on HiDPI displays that support them. HiDPI displays will eventually be the norm, and we’re making sure Dribbble presents your work appropriately.</p> <h2 id="how-do-debuts-work">How do Debuts work?</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/shots?list=debuts">Debuts</a> is a stream of first shots from new Dribbblers.

This credit card is used to renew the annual subscription.</p> <ul> <li>First, switch to your team account.

Choose ‘recurring’ before posting the job. Choosing the recurring option means the job ad will auto-renew at the end of the 30 day period and the card you have on file will be charged. You can stop a recurring job in your <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/account/jobs">jobs dashboard</a>, located in your account settings. When you stop the recurring job, it will finish out the 30 day period and not renew.</p> <h2 id="can-dribbble-host-my-jobs-description">Can Dribbble host my job’s description?</h2> <p>To keep things simple, we made a choice to have our job postings link off to wherever your job description already lives. Chances are, you have it hosted on your own jobs page, or another job board. If you don’t have it hosted elsewhere, write a blog post or even a Google doc and link to that.</p> <h2 id="how-can-i-update-my-job-posting">How can I update my Job posting?</h2> <p>If you’d like to update your job posting, log into the Dribbble account you used to create the job ad.

If you don’t have a Dribbble account or didn’t log into your account when posting the listing, we’ll be glad to make any necessary updates! <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/contact">Contact us</a> with details.</p> <h2 id="can-i-post-part-time-or-freelance-jobs">Can I post part-time or freelance jobs?</h2> <p>While most job ads are for full-time employment, we welcome part-time and freelance/contract positions as well.</p> <h2 id="how-can-i-contact-designers-on-dribbble-about-work-opportunities">How can I contact designers on Dribbble about work opportunities?</h2> <p><img src="/web/20160912162630im_/http://help.dribbble.com/images/examples/hire-me.png" width="230" class="fig"/> Members with Pro accounts can indicate that they are available for work. Doing so displays a ‘Hire Me’ button on their profiles that signed-in members can use to send messages about work opportunities (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160912162630/https://dribbble.com/testimonials">read testimonials</a> from hired Dribbblers and talent seekers!).</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: Dribbble reserves the right to throttle the number of messages a member can send.

When sending a message to a designer, please following these guidelines:</p> <ul> <li>Your message <em>must</em> be a work inquiry regarding a design job or project.</li> <li>Please personalize the messages you send—don’t send boilerplate messages. They tend to feel impersonal and lack the detail necessary to be appealing. This means you should use their name, provide a brief description of the work or job for which you’re hiring, and any details you find compelling about the designer’s work on Dribbble.</li> <li>Please make sure the designer you’re contacting is a good fit for your job or project as indicated by the work, bio and skills on their profile. Many designers also declare the type work in which they’re interested on the message form—so make sure your message conforms with their stated preferences.</li> <li>Have a specific job or project in mind: Don’t ask if someone is looking for new opportunities or if anyone they know is looking for new opportunities. You must have a specific job or project and state it in the message.</li> </ul> <p>Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your messaging privileges being suspended or revoked, or your account removed.</p> <h1 id="abuse-on-dribbble">Abuse on Dribbble</h1> <h2 id="my-work-is-on-dribbble-without-my-consent-what-do-i-do">My work is on Dribbble without my consent.
