You’re here for the invites…right? Well there’s no need for me to explain what Dribbble is in much depth, as most of you know it’s a pretty rad community where you post sneak peaks of what you’re currently working on, in the form of 400 x 300 px images. The quality of work is exceptional and the chance to interact, critique and inspire is second to none.
Dribbble invites are like gold dust. I’ve been a member for several months and only just got my first two invites this week. While I can think of several people who I could give these to immediately, I wanted to open this up to a wider audience.
In the world of Dribbble who you draft is a big deal. No one wants to draft the guy who uploads pictures of his cat, so I’m going to be pretty picky as to who scores these invites. I’m held responsible for the quality of work being uploaded by someone I draft so I’m taking the selection process seriously.
The über cool John O’Nolan has also kindly donated one Dribbble invite, bringing the total to three. So if you want drafted, make sure you follow the instructions below.
How To Enter
1. Leave a comment below with a few words of the type or style of work you would be uploading.
2. Post a link to your favourite bit of artwork you’ve produced.
Deadline
The deadline to enter is 1pm (UK) on Thursday 5th August, comments will then be closed.
On Friday 6th August I will announce the three winners on this blog post and Twitter. Good luck to all!
EDIT: The super kind Ryan Downie, Chris Gibbons and Paul Stanton have also now donated an invite, while the lovely Emma Taylor has donated THREE invites. Taking the total to Nine invites to win!
I’ve been working lately on my own company which focus on Branding, Web and Multimedia in Mexico city.
I will make a wise use of the invite and upload some nice digital sketches about websites and branding. My portfolio is right in the next link:
http://www.xplaye.com/portafolio.html
And one of the most recent works and which I like a lot is our blog called Explaye:
http://www.explaye.com/
I would be posting a combination of my web UI work I’m currently focused on, the iOS UI work I have on the horizon and my attempts in reviving my art abilities. Included below are of few of the items I’ve been working on over the last couple of weeks:
CMS nav
CMS grid
Heckboy (sketch)
Grace (sketch)
Web hero
Superguy (sketch)
My best work is located at http://sonstermedia.com/gallery.html
Thanks for the chance.

Now, this is a cool giveaway.
Should I win an invite, 99% of the stuff I’ll be posting will be web design related. I am now building some iPad web apps but I think that that still counts as web design.
Here is a link to one my favorite pieces: http://iodicdesign.com/portfolio/htds-medical/
Thanks for organizing this giveaway!
Wow this has become crazy! good luck going through all of these submissions!

Hi!
I work for a web design agency called Bozboz. We’re really proud of our design work.
Non-web stuff is here:

Web stuff here:

We do all sorts of stuff, from corporate websites to record labels and nightclubs both on and offline.
Thanks!
Well, this is gonna be a long shot considering all the talented peeps represented here, all yearning for an invite…. Since my site will be updated within – hopefully – a few days, I won’t be advertising my personal portfolio site here (yet), but I thought it might be fun to take some 300x400px screenshots of what I’m working on
I’d love to get an invite because I, for one, love social media & the feeling to be among peers. I used to be a regular on a design board, but since it got deleted I miss the feeling of showing your work and getting some feedback. I’m a freelance illustrator/graphic designer, so I do miss some colleagues, although working from home does have it perks, like sleeping till midday (and working all through the night… *cough*) & eating cake while working
Anyways, here are the two screenshots of what I’m working on at the moment (I wanted to post some more, but I’m guessing that would be cheating? -_- )
A little birth announcement card for my brothers new baby girl:

And an illustration I made a while back but working on it again for my new website:

Thx for looking!

Well, dribbling was never my forté (except when it involved spittle down my chin — but hey, 17 was a rough age for everyone, right? RIGHT?), but I’ve been fascinated by the tricky-to-pronounce Dribbble (though, admittedly, it’s not nearly as hard as “ffffound”, which sounds like a bad Sylvester the cat impression) since it started.
Anywho… I do think it’s a fabulous place for getting critique from a worldwide design consortium. And while that makes it sound like a supervillain from a Bond film, I’m okay with being a part of it. Also, all the work I’ve seen on it so far has been top-notch, and top-notch is exactly what I’d like to become.
1. Type or style of work: Sexy. Dead sexy. Occasionally amateur, I’m sure, but that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? To get better? I’ll probably use too much Univers Condensed and those goofy dropshadowed rules we all love in our UI work.
2. Favourite artwork: That’s like picking a favourite child. Although, my father did that plenty, even if I do now blame him for my fear of girls. And asparagus. (Don’t ask.) I’ll choose one because I feel proudest of it: a logo for Town & Country Day School, a school straddling the edge between the suburbs and city, featuring a huge tree in its front yard (http://bootsmalone.org/images/clients/tcds1-large.jpg).
Thanks for your consideration! Have a thrilling Thursday! And good luck judging.
There’s actually two of us – we work as one person (?!) McKelly…

About us:
McKelly is the work of collaborative duo, Kate McInnes and Sean Kelly. This Australian based power-house of creativity work in the fields of Illustration and Animation. With a penchant for the provocative, McKelly have a style that can only be described as “Miss Universe meets the Apocalypse.â€
That’s us
Hi Grace,
If I got a Dribbble invite, I’d be posting relevant content that I either
a) want feedback from some of the best guys in the biz on, or
b) am just proud of and want to show off.
I consider myself a web & graphic designer so I’d be posting shots of both.

my portfolio is http://www.mrcthms.com, which I’m also rather fond of.
Thanks.
I work for a small design agency in London called The Design Corporation (or design4music to some people). Most of our work is music industry related (TV advertised compilations). It’s a pretty niche market, so you can expect to see a lot of work that you wouldn’t normally see elsewhere. Yes, it’s very commercial, often cheesy, and not usually what would be considered ‘cool’, but the quality and execution is always high – we’re proud of what we do!
Here is a link to some of my published works:
http://www.matm00.com/packshots/
We usually do at least 5-10 concepts for each album and not every album comes out in the shops – that’s a lot of work! I’m also responsible for all our web work, which is a growing side of our business.
Hope you enjoy the gallery
I don’t know if I sent my comment, so I send it again.
My name is Ricardo and I would upload UI design examples, web design examples and icons or logo samples.
