ThDstrct.com – Network For DC Creatives

January 18, 2012

Niche social sites and communities have been around for a long time. None has become a wild sensation, but the people who are part of them always find what they can’t find on Facebook: the knowledge that every other person who is part of the network shares a lot of common ground and interests with them. They aren’t friends with every other person on the site, but they wouldn’t mind being. They’re all there for a reason, and any interaction that takes place has a true sense of purpose.

That explains why niche social sites have never died, even when Facebook has been growing and growing without stop. And the bigger Facebook gets, then the more niche networks that will be released. And the better they’ll become, too. Just look at this new one.

ThDstrct is a community for nothing but DC-based creatives. If you’re one, you can connect with fellow professionals in a way that’s as simple as clicking on the profile pictures featured on the site, and exploring that person’s own portfolio. If you find his work inspiring, then you’ll be able to reach out to him and get to know him even better.

ThDstrct is actually inspired by a site that launched in Portland about one year ago. They’re almost identical, in fact. The only difference is the area that’s covered. But as far as design and features goes, then they’re clearly sister sites.

Designers looking for fresh ideas, students trying to showcase their work and connect to employers, entrepreneurs looking for “the next big thing” while it’s just the airiest of thoughts… ThDstrct is where all of these people can connect. If you find yourself in any of these positions and you live in DC, then this site might as well mark the start of something important in your career. You can easily get started by adding yourself to the database here.

TitansTower.com – All About The Teen Titans

July 23, 2008

The Teen Titans is a DC Comics superhero team that first saw the light of the day in the year 1964. The basic premise involved having teen incarnations of famous sidekicks working and battling together.

For example, the original team consisted of Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad. However, before too long the Wonder Girl character was introduced and the concept gained new preeminence. Fans agree that the “golden years” of the Titans were those under the aegis of writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez, although it must be noted that recent incarnations have gone down very well with fans of the series. These individuals are going to relish visiting the Titans Tower website, a fan site that has been put together to pay homage to the Marvel heroes. Some of the categories that make up the site include a “Monitor Room” where the latest news can be found, a “REC Room” that details Titans’ merchandise and toys, and a gallery that showcases rare artwork as well as the webmaster’s own sketches.

February 10, 2008

Toonzone.net is a fan resource for classic and contemporary Warner Bros Animation that’s been online since 1998, hosting an impressive database of material related to comics, like the WB Cartoon Comics Cover Archive.

The site is in itself a great source of authoritative news on what’s going on in the toon scene, as the site hosts not only forums, contests, newsletters and themed games, but several related unofficial sites which specifically cover Scooby Doo, Adult Swim, DC and Marvel Cartoon archives and many more animated series. This site’s target audience is teens and adults, as lots of the information available from it deal with rather sophisticated issues that youngsters would probably not find interesting at all, like full coverage or the writers’ guild strike, news on theme parks being built around the globe or upcoming games which are currently under development.
