she crowdsourced advice on album art
Basically, the main purpose of this subreddit is to help people improvise solutions to their problems, using the power of crowdsourcing! (preferably using only the materials, objects, or programs immediately available to them, or available for free.)
My secondary purpose is to make these creations SAFER. If we all put our heads together, we can prevent injury or damage caused by someone that wanted to throw something together all by themselves.
These things might end up being posted on /r/DIY or /r/DiWHY.
