Crowdsourcing and Disruption

CROWD SOURCING AND DISRUPTION

A panel discussion on the shifting economics of Design and Communication

6:30PM Wednesday March 10, 2010
Memorial Hall, Pratt Institute Brooklyn Campus
200 Willoughby Avenue, Brooklyn

Pratt's Undergraduate Communications Design department will host a panel discussion on the emergence of crowd sourcing models in the design and communication industries. Crowd sourcing is a new and often hard to define term that refers to using information technology to parcel work out to a large group. Crowd sourcing models have already completely changed the stock photography business and appear to be spreading to other sectors of the creative economy.

Our guest speakers will help the audience uncover what crowd sourcing is, what the implications are for designers and what an appropriate response might be for those working in affected industries.

hygiene color bleach ad

Hygiene Color Bleach
To show the product's efficacy, we created these ads and placed them around the moving walkways and general walkways. The stains were created using a visual illusion. Consumers can see the stains from a distance but when they come closer these stains will magically disappear. As they come closer, they can read the message. "Hygiene Color Bleach. Removes Stains Fast."'

The basic strategy of this ad is dependent upon the synergy between placement location and optical illusion. I think the 2 factors go hand in hand very successfully.
