Each week, we’ll be collecting and sharing a selection of new products and shop owners coming onto Creative Market, interesting activity that’s happening in our community, and various design and technology links from around the web.
Here’s our recap for the week of March 17th through 23rd, 2014.
Activity from Our Community
Here’s a bit of news, product process, community initiatives, peer education and more from members of the Creative Market Community.
First and foremost, the Creative Market team has been very active in the community in the last 7 days, with 2 big feature launches! The first happened last week, as we rolled out a Support Tools that included a robust Help Center and Product Support in the form of FAQ directly on product pages. Secondly, just a few hours ago, we rolled out our brand new Photos area, and welcomed tons of new shop owners to the marketplace! If you’re an existing shop owner and want to sell photos, apply here.
Sean Wes finished and launched his master class program called Learn Lettering, where he teaches others to make a living as a hand lettering artist. It contains 10 courses, 50 lessons and over 8 hours of video, and was wildly successful for Sean last week after it launched. Don’t forget to check out Sean’s Creative Market shop, where he’s published two hand-crafted fonts: Jokal and GeoCon.
Odin Design started a new design inspiration blog called Pixel Carnivale. We can’t wait to see what they end up sharing over the next few months.
