Psdtuts+ Updates - Five Years of Envato

Five Years of Envato Posted: 30 Aug 2011 06:03 PM PDT It’s kinda crazy to think, but our little internet startup, Envato, has been on the air now for five years. We started back in 2006 as four very enthusiastic and totally green entrepreneurs with a shoestring budget and a love of the web. Fast forward five years and while we’re hopefully a little less green, we’re still incredibly passionate about Education, Marketplaces and the web! It’s been an amazing time and we’d like to share a look inside our Melbourne HQ offices, some stats about Envato and a big thank you to the community. Behind the Scenes With such a big milestone, we thought it might be good to give an inside glimpse into our Melbourne HQ offices and some of the people that work here. So we invited a Melbourne film crew called Compulsive to come in and shoot a 3 minute video about Envato. I hope you enjoy it! As you may know, we also have a large remote team working around the globe on our sites. Next year we’re hoping to gather all of Envato and as much of the community as possible for an epic meetup, but in the meantime if you’re curious to see who’s who, you can check out this little video from our remote staff meetup last year in Chicago. Some Stats Looking back at five years of exciting and sometimes exhausting Envato work, I put together some stats about Envato from our time online so far. In five years we have: Published over 10,000 tutorials and articles helping people learn everything from Photoshop to Freelancing Hosted over 300,000 items for sale on our marketplaces from WordPress themes to Stock Photos Showcased over 12,000 items of inspirational design, photography and a host of other creative mediums on Creattica Listed over 8,000 jobs on our freelance job board Reviewed and rounded up over 3,000 apps on our AppStorm network Launched 9 marketplaces, 11 tutorial sites, 9 blogs, 18 books, 7 bundles, 4 Regular Podcasts, and more social media accounts than you can poke a stick at Accumulated close to 1 million RSS subscribers and twitter followers Signed up almost 1 million marketplace members, 90,000 Creattica members, 50,000 FreelanceSwitch members, and 40,000 Tuts+ Premium subscribers Served up well over 1.5 billion pageviews across all our sites since inception Holy toledo batman!! Thank You I can’t say thank you enough to all of you for supporting Envato all these years. Whether you are long-time user of the Marketplaces, Tuts+, AppStorm, FreelanceSwitch or Creattica, or just a casual visitor, we’re really proud that you stop in and use our sites. If you’re one of the thousands of contributors, authors, writers, and subscribers, we’re honored and humbled that you have helped us build this company and filled these sites with such amazing content. And regardless of who you are, we hope that we can continue to provide value and service to you for many more years to come! On behalf of the whole team, thank you all!

A Look Into Intrinsic Nature’s 10th Experiment Posted: 30 Aug 2011 06:00 AM PDT Design Collective Intrinsic Nature’s 10th Experiment hit the net back in early May. It features a stunning collection of 85 works created by over 50 international artists. With the help of designer Anthony Giacomino we rounded up some of our favorite  works from this pack. Be sure to check out the whole experiment over at Intrinsic Natures website. Intrinsic Nature, also known as "IN," is an online art group consisting of a select community of creative minds from around the world.  The name Intrinsic Nature speaks of the organic, creative, free-flowing spirit of art residing within every one of us that finds its way to a canvas. The work we create is natural, birthed from who we are: our very nature.  Every few months Intrinsic Nature releases a public showcase of this art in what we call our "Experiments. Savage By 3abden Microspheres By Agiaco Tetrapoda Abstrakta By Agiaco & Yago The Intrinsic Book By aleebr Sweet Dreams By Aleebr Cocoon By Ameliajane Moriae Encomium Art For Our Sake By Dejavu Awakening By Drake Melachodia By Dyst We strive to build a core of talented artists and give them another platform to share their artwork. We work as a team to help each artist improve and learn from each other.  In a competitive and ever growing field, it’s important to have others to collaborate with and learn from.  IN really is beneficial in this regard.  Aside from these goals, Intrinsic Nature works to build a strong presence in digital art community as a talented art collective filled with artists from all disciplines ranging from digital art, photography, music, traditional art and more. Anecdotal Universe By Dyst Lost In The Blur By Enspyre Sway By .esk One Zero By Galaxyturbo Intrinsic Yummy By Human After All Repossession By John Mark Solidarity By John Mark Faraway Love By Karim Genesis By Karim Lonliness By Leonk IN10 marks the tenth full experiment released by the crew in the past three years.  It’s significant because after quite a long time between experiments, IN came back strong lead by some great new artists.  Many of these artists improved a lot in the months they joined the group, and also breathed some new life into the latest exhibition.  It’s always a mixed bag of which artists are going to be able to submit to each experiment.  We hope to keep older artists active while helping new ones develop and succeed.  Intrinsic Nature is already 10 experiments deep, but we feel it’s only just begun.
