WeDrawComics:協同漫畫合創平臺是一個讓大家一起創作漫畫的平臺。每個人都能建立一本主題書(Books),然後其他人就可以在“這本書”中畫出一張和主題相關的大作(panel)。
當指定Books為連環畫形式時,同一時間只能允許一個人創作。它也有關注機制,使用者可關注某個主題畫(Books)或其他使用者(artist)的更新。
We draw comic和twitter聯合創始人Ev Williams的新專案Medium一樣,都是協同創作模式。Medium中的內容都是以圍繞某一主題的collection組織起來的,使用者在Collection下貢獻內容。
協同創作的模式和以往的資訊釋出和組織形式都不同,twitter或是Pinterest的組織形式都是自下而上的,twitter裡是使用者對另一條tweet的轉發/評論,Pinterest裡是Repin等行為,從而讓整個社群裡的資訊流動起來。
We draw comic和Medium的資訊組織形式是自上而下的,是由某個類似主持人的角色在上面發起主題/話題,然後其他使用者參與貢獻。它們這種協同創作形式雖然對資訊流動性的作用沒有twitter那樣好,但卻是積攢優質內容的更好形式。豆瓣的線上活動也算是協同創作模式的例子。
I’d never thought making comics could be a group activity. For me it was a very solitary pursuit. That changed when I went to my first comic convention and met other comic book artists. We started drawing comics together – passing a communal page back and forth to each other, filling in one panel at a time. The stories we made were silly and nonsensical, but we were making each other laugh. We inspired each other to take risks and be more creative with what we drew. It was magic.
I wanted that feeling to last longer than just a comic convention.
