We have a simple, but important company mission: to make beautiful design simple & accessible to everyone.
This mission is something we've been passionately living here at COLOURlovers for the last 7 years. We started by building the world's best color community & creative inspiration site. By curating a supportive community for ideas to be shared and inspiration to be found, we've jump-started a massive amount of creative projects.
We then started building design tools like ColorSchemer and Seamless Studio that were simple & intuitive, but powerful & professional. These tools provide expert capabilities to novice creatives, and help them develop their skills.
Creative Market is the next piece of our mission that will help creatives easily access a wealth of beautiful design content for their projects. Whether it's finding a unique vector pattern for a textile, the perfect font with personality for a new logo, or any other kind of digital creative content that helps you produce something amazing.
Our friends at Etsy.com empowered the handmade goods revolution. We believe we can do the same for mousemade goods. Grab your creative tools and join us!

What It Means for COLOURlovers
We've helped a few members sell the patterns they've created here at COLOURlovers and it's an amazing feeling to give somebody access to tools and a platform so they can make some money doing what they love. I get stoked when I think about the day when one of your full-time jobs is simply being a COLOURlover. We've wanted to make it easier for members to sell their creative works, but not to over-commercialize the COLOURlovers site. We started building commercial tools into the site, but we realized the best thing for both COLOURlovers & CreativeMarket was to let them tell their own stories... in the best way they can.
COLOURlovers is a creation & inspiration community.
CreativeMarket is a marketplace for awesome design content.
They obviously work very well together, but by separating the sites we don't have to worry about commercializing COLOURlovers too much. We're very conscious of how special this place is. We can make CreativeMarket the best marketplace for finding, buying, selling & sharing the most unique and beautiful design content. And we'll make it super easy for COLOURlovers members to participate in the CreativeMarket if they want to.
You all have already created tens of thousands of beautiful patterns and unique shapes that are valuable, but we'll also be including other creative content types that designers need like Fonts, Photoshop Brushes, Gradients, Photos and more. We'll continue to make design software & apps that help you create the content that will be sold in the marketplace. We believe we can make the creation process for all of these kinds of creative content as simple & intuitive as we've done with our other apps.
I've seen how amazingly talented you all are, and I know that helping you make a living through your passion is how we can best live our mission.

Compared to graphicriver and the whole envato market thing, what percentage will the site take? That's really been a turnoff for me for envato - they take 50% of the designer's sales...
Secondly, do you know what the exclusivity of the marketplace will be, e.g., if I want to sell an icon set on your site, can I also sell it on another site?
I realize that it's early, but if you know these things already it would be pretty influential to me to determine what amount of energy could be put toward it.

And there will be benefits to being exclusive, ie a higher %... but you won't be locked into only selling on Creative Market.

There isn't any one right way to live, but there are connection points between them, and I think CL is on to something! I believe that life inspires creativity- that it comes from the spirit which is at our fundamental core of being. Others look at this artistic drive- the will to create- as a place we are inspired to go, not where we're from. Top down or bottom up- who's right? Well, life works in so many different ways, I think that sticking with one is going to limit the fun and diversity that CL promotes every day with its existence- so I applaud the way CL will handle a commercial interest- it will be awesome to see in action.
Thanks!
