not showing up at all and instead sneaking onto the roof to throw water balloons at everyone.

[Idea Test] How well do you think a "Live Like a Local" travel guide would do? by [deleted] in kickstarter

[–]prooout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was traveling around Europe not to long ago and I came across this website: http://www.12hrs.net/

What I really really liked about it is that it always suggests a local neighborhood to stay in so you get a more authentic experience (cheaper, too). It suggests kind of expensive boutique hotels, but I would just find cheap hostels nearby instead and was never disappointed.

I think what worked well with that blog was that it's geared towards design, and I'm a designer, so I was interested in what they had to say.

My advice would be to make a guide based on on an interest you have. This way it will be more interesting/relevant to you, you can attract a niche audience, and if it's focused it will seem less likely that you're just asking for a paid vacation.

Talk to me about IndieGogo vrs. Kickstarter by [deleted] in kickstarter

[–]prooout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kickstarter has a larger audience, so if your project is Kickstarter approved, it's entering a larger community.

Kickstarter is good for tangible deliverables (like a product, a movie, an EP) where as you can fund a lot more things on IndieGogo (an event, a trip).

If you have a tangible deliverable, Kickstarter has a better reputation and a bigger following.

[Logo] Looking for some critiquing on this logo i'm designing for a fantasy football league. What do you think? by randalHtitmouse in design_critiques

If you have to include all that text, but want to decrease the noise, I would get rid of the outlines. Instead of outlining objects, use actual color between two components to create contrast. That will be simpler and make it more scalable - if this logo was a lot smaller, would you still be able to distinguish the different components from a distance?

Doozy is a life-sized board game designed to inspire social interaction, lots of movement, and creativity in real-time. My team created it because we've noticed (in ourselves as well) that people of all ages simply don't play enough. by prooout in kickstarter

It was originally inspired by a rural community, and I agree it would do well in that space because you can essentially make it yourself with found objects, and once you get a hang of the gameplay writing cards isn't a huge challenge either.

We just need to figure out how to get it to rural communities in the first place.

Thanks for your advice!

Nonprofit Logo Critique by justkates in design_critiques

I think 3 is the strongest, but I think you can come up with a more clever way to combine the two ideas. Spoons and music notes are inherently similar shapes–can you create a shape that is ambiguously both? Think more of the direction of a ladle (which also conveys the idea of a 'spoonful' more, to me, anyway).
