Creative marketing methods can seem so difficult to find.  It isn’t often that I stumble across great marketing methods, but today I found one in the Craft Revolution Flickr Group. A post by fantazya fantazies led me to her website, where I found this:

I need the collaboration of artists around the world who want to promote their art. Each page will correspond to a day and will be designed by an artist. This is a free publication and each participant will get the diary at almost the cost price.

Idea: you can make a handmade cover and give it like a present, or resale it with your handmade cover. I will print them on beautiful paper but I didn’t choose it yet. Keep coming on that page to see the evolution of the project.

What a great idea! The concept of collaborative visual art and design as a marketing tool is wonderful.  Have you collaborated on projects in the past that brought you business? If so, please feel free to leave a comment and tell us about it!

Here’s something interesting I found on AssignmentZero that shares other locations for ‘community art’:

WikiPainting: Anyone can edit a picture: artists collaborate on a never-ending sketch. Read NewAssignment.Net’s current coverage.

Aaron Koblin’s TheSheepMarket.com. Composed of 10,000 sheep from 10,000 artists, gathered via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.

SwarmSketch. A “collective drawing.”

We Feel Fine - this “artwork authored by everyone” is a collaborative database of several million human feelings that is increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day.

Do you know of other community art pieces we can use to express our creativity? If so, drop us a line!
