Manystuff
Online creative communities have been surging to an all-time high. Our friends over at Behance have started their new network, Virb was mentioned here a while ago and Humblevoice is another relatively new one. But they all have the stigma of being a “network”. A place where you have to sign up, create a profile, upload your work, or search through other people’s profiles to find things of interest. Not that we don’t love ourselves some social/professional networking, but every once in a while though, I crave something simpler.
In steps Manystuff, where the idea is dead basic: you send in stuff you like, they post it on their blog. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Categories cover graphic design, illustration & painting, photography, and a few that are less defined. Readers are encouraged to share both their own work and the work of others that has caught their eye.
Also take a look at their About the Process pdf, a collaborative document on the methods and processes behind todays up-and-coming designers. Good stuff.
