Kickstarter is a site where artists/ designers/ makers can make a bid for funds to kickstart their business. You make your proposal and invite funds. In return for funding you have to offer something in return. Plain and simple and it seems successful for some.
Information on this site can not only be part of your database for Professional Practice next year but more importantly can be useful.
The above image is of a rain boot design by Jessica Swift who describes herself as a surface pattern designer, painter and illustrator. She wants to go into production making a range of these boots each with their own hidden message. She has backers to the sum of $12000 and needs another $6000. See if she makes it.
