There are planned changes at Ning which mean all their free online social networks are closing as they move to a premium paid service. While this may disrupt many online groups of artists, photographers & designers who operate primarily through ning services, we would like to make it clear that the blur Designs network will remain open, and free to join.

We have been growing our designer’s network over the past 18 months, and now have a strong crowd approaching 1,500 creatives worldwide. The blur Designs network is an integral part of our social outreach and works as a great place to keep in touch with our designers. It is a great credit to our crowd that we have had the opportunity to share design reviews, interesting content, arrange meetup events & post design briefs.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to any designers whose network is closing as a result of the new Ning premium upgrade. We hope to provide a great new home for many more designers who are keen to get involved in the future.
