It seems as though that term “crowd sourcing” is going viral and going mainstream.
Bizcommunity reports today (and I heard it on the radio last week) that voting for the 2010 World Cup poster is open.
What a rocking and brilliant idea. You get a choice, they get a design that the masses want and like and the public takes ownership of the event. Fantastic.
And here they are:
I am personally voting for the center option (I think I can tell you, this isn’t politics!). I am interested to know what you all think. I would also like to know what Mr Cherry, the Jo’s and Ideate might say to all this.
I like all the options and was particularly drawn to the pregnant soccer belly on the right. But I feel as if that is a bit too deep and meaningful and somewhat serious. I am looking for fun in a poster, something that draws you in, lets you look around (briefly) and spits you out with a message at the end.
What do you think?

I love the idea too, and the centre option is definitely the best of the three.
Good choice Nic!

None. They can do better. The centre poster is mediocre while being the best of the three.
But they can do better. I mean te extreme right poster looks like its marketing pregnancy for crissakes!

The right one resembles the swollen babies of starving children.
