Sribu.com Introduces the Concept of Crowd Sourcing in Indonesia

Jakarta (I-Newswire) November 30, 2011 - Indonesia is a rich country, not only in terms of natural resources, but also human resources, including extraordinary gifted designers. Their creativity and the quality of their design works are often praised by many in global design world.

Thus, it is very unfortunate that in reality Indonesian designers are often bound by one barrier: Limitation of creative medium. As a result, Indonesian designers tend to walk separately, instead of building a solid network, which is a much more efficient way to develop their design skills.

Ryan Gondokusumo realized the problem. And, with a simple vision to provide a platform in which Indonesian designers may develop themselves and the quality of their designs, as well as to bridge designers with potential clients, he established Sribu.com, an online community which unites talented Indonesian designers, and connects them to clients or companies that require design services.

Aimed to develop the quality of design works of the designer, Sribu.com collaborates with its clients to create design contests, which can be partaken by designers who have joined in Sribu community. The contests are open for all designers from various levels of expertise, including amateur and professional designers.

The winner of each contest can bring home great prizes, and will be promoted in Sribu.com. Simply said, the more he wins, the higher his position is in the community of Sribu.com.

Indonesian Crowd Sourcing Pioneer
The concept carried out by Sribu.com, through the establishment of design contests, in global design world is known as crowd sourcing. The main idea of this concept is to empower a community, which may consist of hundreds or even thousands of people, to do a task that is traditionally done by one person or one small group only.

This crowd-sourcing concept brings many benefits for both parties, in this case the client as the party in need of design, and the designers as the party that supplies the design.

For clients, the concept of crowd-sourcing allows them to have a lot more design choices, in a relatively short time, and at relatively affordable cost, rather than if they hire an in-house designer or design agency. Meanwhile, for designers, the concept will introduce them to more clients from different industrial sectors. They also can compete with other designers, and get a lot of valuable inputs to improve the quality of their design works, either from other designers or the client itself. Above all, they can do what they love most - designing – and get additional income.

The most important thing is, both the client and the designer do not have to do the ‘finding the needle among the haystack’. All the fuss is undertaken by Sribu.com team, while the client and the designer can simply get to know and communicate with each other through the platform provided by Sribu.com.

Various features of the concept were first introduced in Indonesia by Sribu.com, making it one of the best websites in terms of User Generated Content in the prestigious event SparxUp Awards 2011. The award acknowledges Sribu.com as a website that provides a place for interaction between visitors, or better known as Web 2.0, in which most of the contents are made by the visitors, and are dedicated for other visitors.

The award is a sweet acknowledgement of all the hard work done by Sribu.com team. The trophy, which is proudly displayed in Sribu.com office, is also a reminder of the strong relationship among Sribu.com community, and an unparalleled spirit booster for Sribu.com team to continuously accommodate the desires and expectations of all the designers and clients of Sribu.com.

So, if you are a designer who likes to explore your creative skills, or else you are a client that needs a design and/or inspiration, feel free to join Sribu.com, the first and only online design community in Indonesia that holds the concept of crowd-sourcing.
