RedesignMe

What's the idea behind RedesignMe?
RedesignMe aims to improve the products and services around us by collectively rethinking bad products into better products and good ideas into great ideas. The website has two sections: Design Critique and RDM Challenges.

What is Design Critique?
Everybody knows about some product he or she struggles with once in a while. Maybe you even thought of a solution. Now you can upload these products to this website and share them with the world in our Design Critique section. You can also show-off your own Redesign solution or let other people make Redesigns. To be able to quickly capture ideas, we've created our RedesignerTool. A simple, easy to use, drawing tool.

Cool, but then what?
With Design Critique, RedesignMe collects the best product improvements based on your input and communicates them back to the original product designers & producers. RedesignMe contacts the companies behind the products in question to show them the feedback and encourages them to reply directly to the users and eventually fix the problems. RedesignMe also encourages the companies to work more closely with their end-users by setting up RDM Challenges.

How do RDM Challenges work?
RDM Challenges are conceptual or design-driven challenges initiated by companies that want to involve their customers more closely into their product development process. RDM Challenges clearly describe a (design) problem and you, the Redesigner, are rewarded for your feedback through our RDM system. Basically you collect points (RDMs) which you can later convert into prizes in our RDM Shop. Your feedback can be in form of a comment, sketch, set of pictures, mood-board, movie, prototype or total redesign.

How can I earn RDMs?
You can earn RDM's by participating in RDM Challenges (see above). Once you uploaded your Redesign, other Redesigners can vote on your creation. Once your Redesign is top-rated the company involved will be notified about your redesign. If the company thinks your Redesign or idea is useful to them, you will get 25 RDM. Easy as that.

Why would companies setup RDM Challenges?
Because their competitors are doing it too! No seriously, more and more companies are recognizing that more features or more technology are not the key to better sales figures. More and more companies understand that they have to listen to what their customers are saying. Traditionally, product-usage information simply didn't get back to the company. And if a company doesn't know how you experience their products, they can't really change anything about it, can they? RedesignMe closes the gap between consumers, producers and the design-industry.

I'm a company and would like to set out an RDM Challenge?
Read the co-creation section. It was especially set up for you.

I am a company and see my product featured in Design Critique, what do I do?
Easy, create a Company account and join the discussions.
