CREATIVE CROWDSOURCING PLATFORMS IN ASIA PACIFIC LOCAL DESIGNERS * LOCAL VISION = CREATIVE UNDERSTANDING

NOW IS THE TIME TO BE CREATIVE

The term “crowdsourcing” was coined by writer Jeff Howe in the June 2006 issue of Wired Magazine. He was referring to loose networks made possible by new technologies that may consist of both amateurs and professionals joined to solve a problem.

Today, “crowdsourcing” can be found in many shapes and takes on different meanings depending on the “Crowd”. We have taken a brief moment to review some of the creative design related crowdsourcing platforms in Asia Pacific as they apply to creative industries.

In the end, we curated our picks!
