“…Historically, designers have relied heavily on feedback from multiple perspectives to polish their work (Kim et al, 2017). Even earlier studies of Dribbble suggest that participants posted work-in-progress to receive feedback and critique from other designers (Hemsley & Tanupabrungsun, 2018; Marlow & Dabbish, 2014; Wachs et al, 2017).…”

As social media continues to integrate into people’s everyday lives, some sites provide a space for people to present their work and connect with others. This study seeks to understand how Dribbble.com (hereafter, Dribbble), a site created in 2009 for visual designers to showcase their work, plays a role in the transformation of the visual design industry. We use practice theory perspectives to interpret 30 semistructured interviews with active Dribbble users. We find that the niche site Dribbble, along with the constellation of sites around it, is changing professional design practices, in both positive and negative ways. In this study, the focus looks at the ways the work of design professionals unfolds. Our participants, professional designers on Dribbble report that the site changes how they find inspiration to solve design problems, give and receive design feedback from/for other designers, and look for jobs. Our work suggests that by being a primary source of inspiration for many designers, Dribbble may be influencing trends in the wider industry. In addition, Dribbble may be nudging the design industry into a more global stance with respect to hiring designers. Our work contributes to social media studies by showing a link between a design site such as Dribbble and changing practices in the design industry. It also contributes to the literature by looking beyond Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit into practices on smaller social media sites.

“…In survey-based research on users' decisions to share photos that they had already taken, Nov et al [47] found that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations drive sharing, and they pointed to the users' desire for self-development and reputation attainment within their community. Motivational feedback mitigates the perceived risk to reputation that publicly sharing created work poses to learners [28,36], helping participants feel safe when sharing their creative efforts [35,36]. This leads us to our second hypothesis (H2): (a) projects created by learners who have received more positive feedback are more likely to be shared than those created by learners who have received less.…”

Although informal online learning communities are made possible by users' decisions to share their creations, participation by females and other marginalized groups remains stubbornly low in technical communities. Using descriptive statistics and a unique dataset of shared and unshared projects from over 1.1 million users of Scratch-a collaborative programming community for young people-we show that while girls share less initially, this trend flips among experienced users. Using Bayesian regression analyses, we show that this relationship can largely be attributed to differences in the way boys and girls participate. We also find that while prior positive feedback is correlated with increased sharing among inexperienced users, this effect also reverses with experience or with the addition of controls. Our findings provide a description of the dynamics behind online learners' decisions to share, open new research questions, and point to several lessons for system designers. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in collaborative and social computing; Collaborative and social computing design and evaluation methods; • Social and professional topics → Informal education; Gender; Computer science education;

As social media continues to integrate into people’s everyday lives, it provides a space for people to present their work and connect with others. This study seeks to understand how Dribbble.com, a site created in 2009 for visual designers to showcase their work, plays a role in the transformation of the visual design industry and design education. We use sociotechnical transitions theory to interpret 30 semi‐structured interviews with active Dribbble users. We find that the niche site Dribbble, along with the constellation of sites around it, are changing design regimes (the ways work gets done). Our Dribbble users report that the site changes how they develop and maintain their skills, find inspiration to solve design problems, keep up with trends, network with peers, produce and promote their portfolios and find jobs. However, the site also presents some challenges. For example, our interviewees indicate that they no longer receive constructive feedback on the platform. These emerging regimes are competing with, and coexisting with, existing design regimes. Our work contributes to social media studies by looking at under‐studied niche sites, like Dribbble, and how sites in the design space may be impacting the wider society.
