Loving this new Google Chrome experience commemorating Johnny Cash’s passing eight years ago.

Though I feel like I could go on and on about The Johnny Cash Project, one of the biggest things I notice with this is that when asking for consumer contributions, sometimes it makes sense to give them some restrictions in what can add. For example, each contributor adds to a frame of the music video through a set list of drawing options (like colors, fonts, shapes, etc.).

The benefit here, of course, is the quality of completed work. If you left it up to collaborative free reign, the end result might not be as pretty, and therefore, less satisfying or worthy of sharing.
