Opportunities and Risks of crowdworking - perspective of DENKdifferent I choose "Walking on eggs" because every project you participate is a kind of "Eierlauf". You read the briefing carefully. You try to understand the client and the comments of the guide. And you try to include the suggestions of the community into your design. And that all to get paid for your work...
First I thought, it would be a good idea to show us - the creatives - as chicken - working as a laying battery. And the eggs are our ideas. But than I thought it is better to be the egg itself, because we are fragile and must be treated cautiously. And the content of us (the egg) is the idea. You can say our designs and ideas are "the yellow of the egg". :)
ok
The mockup frame is from www.bluemonkeylab.com I used the pan from here and modified it: http://www.freepik.com/free-vector/delicious-food795103.htm#term=egg&page=1&position=1 I used the fox from here and modified him: http://www.freepik.com/free-vector/cute-forest-animals787689.htm The rest is from me :)
Great concept, great ideas! Wünsche Dir viiiel Glück and no walk on eggs!:)
Great analogy with the eggs, dear Ramona! Most of the times it really feels like handling eggs. You have to be cautious not to break any of them.
Dear DENKdifferent,
This is a great concept indeed. Thank you for submitting. The metaphor is powerful and it is easy to follow on your points.
If I may, I have noticed 2 misspellings: – attachment 3 - should be "to sell" – attachment 8 - should be "paid"
That's it.
Hugs from Berlin, Diana
Thanks a lot dear Diana :) And thanks for the correction of my misspellings. :) Hugs back from Remchingen! Ramona
Great Ramona!!! To the point.. Slide 7.. Da sag ich nur Stichwort Bild Zeitung.. As a pro I would also list that having such a platform means that you can act as a global player, meaning it does not matter on which spot of the World you're living, you just need internet access and can work for companies which are worldwide known (famous)..
One more thought as a pro (from my own experience).. It does give a chance for those mother's who are at home with their small kids to keep in touch with the professional world, or even it makes easier to come back after a maternity leaf.. I think this group of people represents a significant number..
Thanks for you comments and ideas, Eva! I also have the "mother-egg" and her kids on my list because I am also a working mum :) They will come soon. I think there are much more egg-examples I can come up with. So stay tuned :)
Aber immer gerne :) Wenn mir noch Sachen einfallen sollten, dann werde ich dich sowieso "bombardieren" :)
:) Die Eiermutter ist online ;) und ein neues Risiko auch.
Genau so hab ich es gemeint bzw. selber erlebt (tue ich sie immer noch) :) Jovoto würde ich groß schreiben :) Stichwort Risiko.. Muss ich dir Recht geben.. Es gab schon Projekte wo überhaupt kein CC gewählt wurde..
wow Ramona you are fast! i think your concept is great because after seeing the slides i find it exactly to the spot! :)))
Hey Ramona, while reading all the comments and your answers, i had an idea for wording. I think you could just name your idea: "eggxamples of crowd working". You almost did that, in one of your comments. That would be a great name for a campaign, don't you think?
hehehe :) Yes you are right! This sounds good :) I also like ambiguous meanings of words. Therefore I choose "Walking on eggs" because every project you participate is a kind of "Eierlauf". You read the briefing carefully. You try to understand the client and the comments of the guide. And you try to include the suggestions of the community into your design. And that all for get paid for your work... Oh - now I have another great idea for another submission! :) I will write you a PM :D
I think it would be nice to know what is expected from us in terms of language?! Since Ver.di is located in Germany I would expect that we shall came up with "puns" in German (which of course shall be translated into English for those colleagues who do not speak German).. Therefore I would say "Eierlauf" (manchmal sogar Eiertanz) brings it pretty much to the point..
Da hast du recht, Eva. Aber ich frage mich auch, zu welchem Zweck ver.di überhaupt eine Visualisierung benötigt. Ich denke, es wird am Ende der Befragung festgestellt werden, dass man für Crowdworker keine Gewerkschaft einsetzen kann oder muss. Und so wie ich das sehe, ist dies der Hauptgrund, warum ver.di hier überhaupt ein Projekt eingestellt hat. Sie suchen neue Gewerkschaftsmitglieder :) Aber wie will man denn Crowdworker schützen? Der Schutz muss doch von der Plattform kommen. Und wenn mir die Arbeit auf der Plattform nicht mehr gefällt, dann melde ich mich einfach ab und such mir ne andere. Fertig ist der Lack. ;)
What a great idea, DD! :)) What about if you change the first two slides and mark one egg white to show the one with his work who's finally selected by the client?
The selected egg is on slide 3. The egg on spotlight is the egg who's finally selected by the client. Or what do you mean?
I know, a selected egg is on slide 3. But slides 1 and 2 just show identical eggs... I just thought it might be quite interesting to mark one of the eggs in white - to not have just a "soup of grey eggs".
Through egg, i feel quite touching. It feel so close-related! Great work!
wow - great campaign and great how you explain the pros and cons from all different angles
Thank you very much! I am happy that you like it :) :) :)
"Just leave the platform" is an individual solution. But it will not hinder any platform to pressurize local markets. They can suck the best, without any duties to education, welfare, local taxes or minimum wage. And all platforms compete for clients by quality/price. Many people want to work creative, and lots of them are good. And within costs of, let's say, 3 bicycles everybody can join global market. Any serious attempt of any designer could handicap the respective platforms process of acquire clients. So settings must individualize workers and push all risks to their end of the pipeline. Or am I wrong with this analysis???
Your eggs are really great in the different situations, especially these showing the negative aspect ;D really cool illustration and concept!!
i like your metaphors, Ramona! step by step you show clearly the pros and cons!! full package presentation:)
Great focus. I like how involves the risk management with the sensitivity of the creative. Really smart!!!!
I think, your work could be also a good informative booklet for people who want to understand what is crowdworking. Everyone can read it and decide for yourself if he ready to face the troubles on his way to the goal. And personally I wish you to "read" only first frames during your work as a crowdworker;) Good luck in voting!
Thank you very much for your nice comment! I really apprechiate that! :)
Your egg story is very explanatory and clever explainning your point of view using just one element. Well done Ramona ; )
Thank you very much Alfonso :) Nice to read that ;)
The fried egg broke my heart! Well done, I find the last slide especially true and have not seen it anywhere else until now. I would have loved to see even more aspects :)
very detailed description of the crowdworking Ramona. We all have faced those issues and felt excited about the good.
Ich schließe mich an, herzlichen Glückwunsch Ramona!!! Du hast die Aufgabe super gelöst!!!
Super Congrats, Ramona!!!! Excellent work hereeeeee, and one of the first ones in being submitted. Well done =D
Meine besten Glückwünsche Ramona;) deine Arbeit hatte mich von Anfang an inspiriert hier auch etwas beizutragen!! fühle dich geehrt!:)
Awesome idea Ramona !!! I can totally identify with it. I sometimes feel just like that on jovoto, like a fragile egg :))) especially at the end of a contest :)))
BIG CONGTRATS !!!!!
