Craftopia
This hypothesis presents the concept that handmade crafting can influence, inform, and improve itself through contemporary communication design.
In contrast to current digital methods, the establishment of a tutorial-information aggregator will help crafters exchange skills and meet customer demands in an increasingly industry-dominated age.
Such a hypothesis would encourage both crafters and consumers to collaborate on the processes of creative design through instruction and interaction, leading to overall better products for both.
