Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!
Please read our crowdsourcing guidelines at: https://geekalabama.com/media-kit-pr/geek-alabama-crowdsourcing-guidelines
You have two options to be part of it:
- You can submit a photo that will actually be in the world record. The card design is made up of a photo mosaic of backers’ photos. (And you’ll get a digital copy of the finished piece if you want to print it at home.)
- Or, you can do that, plus you can get a professionally-printed artwork printed on real playing card stock.
The card is going to be pretty big. My plan is to make a king of hearts that’s 3 metres high and 2.1 metres wide. (That’s nearly 10 feet high for my American friends.)
Over a thousand times larger than a regular playing card, and 360,000 times larger than the world’s smallest playing cards that I made recently!
Fresh from my record for the world’s smallest deck of playing cards, my new record attempt has been accepted by Guinness World Records and now there’s the small matter of actually making it!
As of August 23rd, this project has raised $2,300 of their $1,439 goal. This project has 19 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $10, you can share an image to be a part of the card. For a pledge of $36, you will get a print of the finished artwork.
