RedesignMe!
October 21, 2007 | Levent OZLER
Does it sound familiar? You've just smashed your remote control to the wall because it didn't do what you wanted it to do?
The feeling of total despair that becomes you when you see the thick manual that accompanies your newly bought device.
The frustration you experience when you try to use a parking ticket machine and you're already late for your appointment?
Enter RedesignMe website, a crowd sourcing website that gives consumers a platform for their problems and frustrations with daily used products.
Modern electronic products, like mobile phones for example, are equipped with more functionality everyday.
As a result they become more complex and harder to use.
But also in the public space, like when using vending machines or ATM machines, people often run into unclear situations.
On RedesignMe people can submit pictures and videos of their daily product interactions in a YouTube-like environment.
Consequently people can rate eachother's submissions, add comments, and most importantly, respond with redesigns.
Creative minds can show off by analyzing the submitted products and suggest how the problem can be solved.
They can use the Redesigner Tool, an online picture- editing program, to quickly capture ideas or use their own offline design tools.
Visitors can also rate the redesigns and the best designers can win cool prizes every month.
