The result of this study is supposed to verify whether having crowd designers to communicate earlier and more could bring: (1) a more creative design because they can be inspired by others’ outputs and (2) a more consistent design because meanwhile they are informed about what is going on with other parts of the work.

This study will compare a normal workflow with a workflow that helps crowd designers to broadcast their work, as different parts of the design they are all working on. The normal crowdsourcing workflow allows the task owner to present to the crowd and critique the collective final design after everyone finishes his or her own part, and then ask designers to go back and revise their own parts. The new workflow helps to inform designers about outputs from other parts at a higher frequency before they see the overall final result.
