I met up with some people last Friday who are designers in the area. It was really great to connect with people who are doing design work. It makes you really aware of how diverse the field is, with people who specialize or have particular talents for all kinds of things. I am discussing the possibility of creating a collaborative with one member.

This is an idea I have been thinking about and have discussed with a number of people, and I think it is a really great idea. Perhaps not a new idea, but now, as so many people have high speed Internet connections in their homes and want to have control over their schedules and work-flows, it makes more sense than ever. My hope is that this could lead to a situation where work can come in to a central location then get distributed out to one or more participating collaborators.

This all seems like a fairly obvious idea to me, but I have not found good examples of this in practice, except perhaps in the Architectural/Design industry. Does anyone know if this is happening in the Graphic/Web/Interface design industries?
