After quite a bit of consideration and reviewing just about every web video hosting service out there we have decided to support Vimeo.com video embedding on PRO accounts. This feature is now live!

How to embed a video: If you have a PRO account, you'll notice an "embed a vimeo" text link next to the form to upload images. Just click that, and paste in the URL to your Vimeo hosted video and click "embed". You also have the option of selecting a custom thumbnail to represent the video in your set, otherwise your account will use the same thumbnail you are using at Vimeo.

UPDATE: Motion Designer Mikey Pendola offers up an excellent example of Vimeo embedding in action,

The Krop Creative Database was featured in the FEB issue of Creative Review Magazine. CR is a well respected design industry publication, and we sincerely appreciate the kind words. Thanks guys!

Some folks prefer the simple life.

All pro users will now notice the new minimal style as an option in their account. Designed as a simple alternative to our 4 classic variations, Minimal is the first in a series of custom style options we will be releasing this spring / summer. Check out minimal in action: Chuck & Jeff

To apply the new Minimal style to your pro account: under the portfolio tab, Minimal will appear as a radio button option under "Style Options". Tip: You can choose to have the sets display thumbnails or just open to the fist image on the 'modify set' page.

Alternate styles are available for all Creative Pro account holders - Create your account now.

Coming soon for PRO accounts: Video embedding, blog / RSS importing, more additions to the style gallery, presentation mode for meetings, and of course a few super top-secret features. Still on a Basic? might be time to upgrade! :)

The pool of talent in the Creative Database got a lot deeper this week with thousands of new artist profiles. Tomorrow we're rolling out a few new features on the job board, and early next week we are going to announce some new upgrades that are in the works for Creative Database Pro account holders.

Today we're spotlighting a couple special artists that have graced the Database with their work this week:

Ales Lins, Design Director - New York City : Understated luxury is one of the holy grails of contemporary graphic design. Alex nails it, and executes his work with beautiful consistency.

Gabe Rubin, Creative Director, Los Angeles : Gabe's work has sold more movie tickets than fandango. Get you popcorn out, his interactive work for big budget motion pictures and video games always has a story to tell.
