gerisullivan | Design for People: the power of promotion

The Cats Laughing Reunion Event & Album Kickstarter campaign has me dropping in at Kickstarter more frequently than is my usual wont. And instead of going to one of the updates and from there directly to the Cats Laughing page, I've just been typing "kickstarter.com". Danger, Will Robinson.

That's how I stumbled across Design for People, Saturday's Kickstarter Project of the Day.

Funny how when I found the page a few hours ago, they were still a few thousand dollars short of they $50,000 goal. Funny how a few hours after I watched Scott Stowell's brief "Pay Attention" lunch talk and supported the Kickstarter, Scott was sending out an unscheduled update announcing they'd hit the goal with 48 hours to go.

Thursday's AIGA article by Liz Stinson didn't hurt either, I'm sure.

I'm looking forward to refreshing my own thoughts about and approach to collaborative design. I only wish the book were coming out now rather than planned for next June. Still, there's no doubt I'll still benefit from the creative kickstart then. :-)
