IntroductionCrowdsourcing is a method through which a specific crowd is engaged to achieve some particular goal. The crowdsourcing activities are facilitated by the advanced technological aspects present today, namely, social media, and web 2.0. There are various levels at which crowdsourcing can be facilitated (Aitamurto et al, 2011). It can be facilitated at the individuallevel by calling the individuals to join the particular to complete a task over a particular topic,or it can be done at the industry level. The companies such as Apple and Microsoft can engage the particular group of individuals together and make them work to complete a task. Due to the facilities in connectivity, the crowdsourcing activities have received much attention in contemporary situation. There are millions of people who are connected to each other as an the online community anddue to the faster internet services and outreach, everyone is getting closer each day. This has become a greater source in solving the problem at hand. It is quite interesting that the way one can receive ideas to solve complex problems by simply asking to a large community which was not accessible a decade ago (Alsever, 2007). This has allowed one asking questions to bigger group of people and receiving answer in a systematized manner with no noise.This paper is concerned with understanding the various aspects of crowdsourcing and how it will support in the development of interface design for individual client. The areas that have been covered are the way crowdsourcing has grown in past few years and the benefits and challenges of this aspect.

The ideas are free-flowing which were not been able to be tapped due to the lack of the access. However, after the advent of the internet the companies are able to access these with greater ease and comfort. This method has helped the small companies as well as the larger ones. Theinterface design and development in this manner has been possible only through the development and growth in the internet. There are multiple reasons why any individual engage in crowdsourcing and provide their knowledge and support to the companies looking for external sources. Some of the reasons are to get access to extra payment options, out of fun to get new challenges that they do not find in everyday office jobs, to increase their reputation in the technology field, to interact with other people who are similar to them, and others (Ambati & Vogel, 2010). Crowdsourcing as a tool to work on a project from far distance has become an interesting tooland its usability is gradually increasing day by day. The access of the companies to the wider
