Scranvas: Gamified Forum for Amateur Designersto Share Creative Work and Generate Constructive Feedback

Abstract

Feedback is important for cultivating creativity. Constructive feedback on design is crucial for helping design students and amateur designers iterate towards better solutions. However most of the current platforms don't promote honest design feedback and are primarily used only for self-promotion. This paper proposes Scranvas, a community for students and non-experts to encourage sharing of creative work and generate constructive feedback. Users interpret the designs based on the context and goals stated by the designer and share feedback through annotations.
