Mass-Produced Design

Posted February 12, 2012 1:48 PM

From Manufacturing:

Well, I've often thought that it would be fun and interesting for CR4ers to have a design project together. One problem is, the hesitation one feels about disclosing creative ideas, etc. The other is agreeing on the project. An "Open Source" project sounds good but probably couldn't/wouldn't happen. Another problem would be who owns the "creation" or "work." CR4? Has anyone else thought seriously about this? How do others here feel about such a venture?
