Social networks are one of the cloud computing concept implementations that allow web users to communicate together and share updates files and personal information. Facebook is one of the most successful examples of social networks. And since the web community is very wide and can have multiple types of sub-communities with different interests, this drives new trends  to have more specialized social networks to gather communities with interest in specific field or industry.

The designers community is very wide and active comparing with other communities on the web. So there are alot of the social networks that help designers to communicate with each others, show their work and get more exposure and find new job opportunities. Each design community has specific focus point as we will see in the samples below. In this collection, you will find some of the famous design social networks that you can join, build profiles and promote it, get design jobs opportunities and sell you work.

While it is a good idea to have multiple portfolios in different communities, it is better to have a stronge profile in couple of these networks and start to build good relation with the community there. This will give more exposure to your work and activities.

    Great post! I would suggest http://www.pondly.com, where artists can share their artwork by publishing their own post and get traffic to their website for free.
