Lo5: Everything

Things I will need to do to complete this Learning Objective

-Site map

-Visualisation diagram

-Prototype on XD

-Sketched diagrams 

Site map 

This is my site map and each it shows each page that users will be able to access on the app. In this I have shown how users will be able to interact with the features and how each subpage will flow and navigate. 

Below is also the link to the webpage that contains my Site map if you want to have a better look at it all together, as it is too large to see all together.

LO5: Feedback Anne Doncaster

The main feedback I gathered from her comments was that I needed to include networking features, in the form of messages and group chats, into my app that could allow communication between users. This would allow users to work together to form user generated content together. By doing this, I will make my app more connected linking to Marshall McLuhan's 'Global village' theory that he proposed in his book 'understanding media: the extensions of man"(1964) which suggested that one day we would live in a "global village" due to advancements in technology. Furthermore, it would give users a bigger reason to use my app for content creation. 

She also stated that I should take advantage of Tik Tok when advertising and marketing my product. The constant stream of user generated content in the form of remixes, dances, and memes can be used to market my app using below the line Marketing methods. Marketing using these tactics will mean my product will reach a wider target audience and may become popular on the Tik Tok app. 

LO5: Feedback from group

Some viewers of my presentation also agree with her as they had similar criticism for my product when reviewing it on my survey. A lot of my piers praised my product idea, but also shared some criticism and what may be an obstacle when I am marketing my product. One comment that showed up multiple times stated that their would be 'a lot of competition' in the music streaming service market.

Evaluation of feedback:

After listening to Anne's feedback from my presentation, and my piers feedback. I have decided that when designing my product in the future, I will ensure to add more variation to the content and design for the app. I will need to include more features that would appeal to a wider target audience and ensure more people have a reason to use my app. One way I can do this would be including a messaging feature that can allow users to network while using the app. I could also include a profile viewing feature, similar to Spotify's 'Friend activity' feature, that allows users to see what their friends are listening to and check out their playlists. Including this in my app will offer more interactivity for the users to communicate with each other and network through sharing their in app ID with each other. To build on the criticism I was given by both Anne and my piers, I will add more options for exporting content that users have created. This includes apps like Tik Tok, Insta, and SoundCloud that will allow users to export their project directly to the apps.
