Introducing...

This week Id like to bring attention to a club here on dA that ive been watching for the last few weeks.
templateartists is a growing community of web designers at DA offering a platform for designers to get more visibility and feedback for their artwork. In addition to being merely a portal for sharing and reviewing artwork they are looking forward to scale up and bring in more member participation by letting members post their experiences and share their knowledge. A recent interview with Eric Meyer is one step in this direction and soon they plan to interview some other big names in this field. This would encourage more members to come forward and share their own experiences. As a community that is relatively new, they are a bit short on visibility at the moment and they believe that they are yet to reach out to a large section of web designers at DA.
You can find out more info about the club and rules are given at the journal here: templateartists.deviantart.com…
