Player's Handbook

Tips and rules for being a good team player in the community.

Tips for players

Be interesting

Dribbble is a place for show and tell. Your work need not be finished or polished, but strive to make it interesting and relevant to the community.

Tag your shots

There are tens of thousands of searches by tag every day. Tags are a great way of allowing other members to find your work by category. Don’t forget to tag.

Add your location to your profile

Let the community know where you’re from and get discovered by others in your area. Our location search makes it easy to find members in every corner of the world.

Add skills to your profile

Help people find you by your areas of expertise.

Add a bio to your profile

Tell the community who you are and what you do so they get to know you.

Explain what you’re working on

When uploading shots, include interesting descriptions of your own work. Again, a little context goes a long way in getting people interested in your work.

Explore the work of others

When commenting on other members’ work, make it meaningful. If you add value to others’ work, they’re more likely to be interested in yours.

Be explicit about feedback

If you want feedback on your shots, explain your work and what type of feedback you’re looking for. Don’t just post a shot without comment and expect to get comments back.

Rules of the game

Own your work

I will upload only work that I’ve created. I won’t upload work that I haven’t created (unless rebounding a fellow player, where attribution is clear).

Be appropriate

I won’t upload pornographic, racist, illegal or otherwise offensive content. Nor will I upload shockingly graphic/grotesque/obscene content. I realize that if I do, it will be removed.

Be respectful

I accept that Dribbble has final say over whether content is appropriate, and I won’t repost work that’s been removed.

Be nice

I’ll refrain from name-calling, preaching, ranting and venting frustrations on others.

Give due credit

I’ll link back to Dribbble when posting Dribbble content elsewhere.

Be constructive

I welcome constructive criticism of my work. When providing criticism to others, I'll be helpful, not mean.
