I am participating in a little project inspired and driven by my research project. As well as exploring co-design concepts for fashion and textile design, I am really inspired by social networking and new technology. Therefore I have set myself a 'crowdsourcing / crowdvoting' challenge and would love you to participate!
Crowdsoucing is an act of outsourcing tasks to the crowd through an open call for participation. The designs produced are openly revealed to the pubic who can cast votes and submit comments.
"Talenthouse is a platform providing opportunities to the world’s creative community – a place to participate in unique projects with artists and brands, collaborate, gain recognition and compensation."
I have submitted a fashion design concept for their creative invite to design a stage outfit for Florence from Florence and the Machine.
The Process
Stage 1: Create a design concept and submit
Stage 2: Gather support
Stage 3: Collect votes
Stage 4: Voting closes
Stage 5: the votes are counted
Stage 6: the top ten awarded a runner's up prize
Stage 7: the final five are sent to the artist who chooses the winner!
How it Works: all participants need to gather a bit of a following... they can use twitter, facebook, google news and email to promote their design and invite people to support them within this process. So, I have uploaded my design and am now working on stage two - gathering support!
If you would like to participate and support me during this experiment visit my Talenthouse and click the 'support jen' button. Stage three: voting, begins tomorrow and all supporters will be invited to vote via email or facebook!
I am going to blog about my progress and the experience itself throughout the duration of the week.
Will it be easy to collect votes or will I fail miserably... how will be design be received... do people love/hate it? It is officially out my my control and in your hands...
