Christmas Time in the City (Bit literally by the end 😂) 🎄 I realized I could have probably gone cheated it and gone direct in but that would take away the point. The guys working were actually really nice as well! #HappyHolidays ⭐ #silverbells #christmasmusic #christmastimeinthecity #yyjmusic #marketsquare #yyj #cokebear #piano #holidayseason #victoriabc #britishcolumbia #xmas #downtownvictoria #hohoho🎅 #vancouverisland #bcmusician #keyboard #thisisvic #explorevic #merrychristmas #victoriabccanada #yvr #christmascarols #carols (at Market Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lNnRAFaus/?igshid=29dj3nozbv58

User Interview and Testing Script

Introduction

Thanks for agreeing to this interview today. I'll quickly tell you about my project, then we can move on to the interview.

My project is researching discoverability around local events and the concept of connecting smaller, emerging artists with the community.

At the moment, I'm thinking of creating a digital platform that will show current events based on a user's location with an implemented rewards program. The idea is that it will focus on promoting events hosted by smaller artists to help them with exposure.

User Interview

Can you tell me about yourself and what kind of events you like to attend?

What do you enjoy about those events?

How often do you go to events? Events can include gigs, markets, workshops, exhibitions, etc.

How do you currently find out about events?

Do you actively search for events to go to?

Are you currently part of any rewards or loyalty programs?

Why/Why not?

Is there anything you particularly like/dislike about them?

Is it important for you to support local artists?

Why/Why not?

User Testing

Now we'll move on to the user testing session. User testing is important for my project because I'm wanting to learn more about my idea, how it's received, how easy it is to use, and what I could add or change to make it better.

I'm going to send you a link to my prototype and I'll give you a scenario followed by some tasks. Just one thing - keep in mind that it's still in its early stages, so not all the buttons and features are functioning.

So, imagine you're Naomi, you're in your early 20s and she's into finding new bands to get into and learning new things, so she's just installed the ExplorEvent app to find some events to attend in her free time.

She's into pop music, arts & crafts, going to exhibitions, and learning something new at workshops.

Here you've just opened the app and need to set up your profile. What would you do?

You see there's a craft market that's popular this week and you're interested in going so you want to save it to view later. How would you do that?

What are your first impressions of the app so far?

You happen to already have physical tickets on you to a gig and you can scan them to redeem points. Where would you go in the app to do that?

Your favourite band, The Hybrids is in your area and you've already bought tickets. Can you find out how many points the gig is worth?

Imagine you've accumulated some points already. Can you find out how many points you currently have and redeem a valid reward.

#SecretJourney #thepolice 🎧 Since @scottsbasslessons did a video on @theofficialsting I thought I'd crack open the book. The book and Police Conplete box set started me playing that first Series A Purple bass I only wish I had kept. My first amp was a tiny Coron which blew in my first week. I still play too hard I guess... Anyways, First bassline I ever played in its entirety was the groove in "Too Much Information" but I always liked this track as it seemed to speak of Sting's later direction with the Soul Cages. Something to do before today's show at 1 at the #Yyj Christ Church Cathedral with Cookeilidh. 😉 #piano #yyjmusicians #victoriabc #britishcolumbia #yyjmusic #1981 #GhostInTheMachine #Sting #AndySummers #StewartCopeland #classicrock #80s #NewWave #pnw #instamusic #musicwelove #explorevic #exploremusic #retrostyle (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5N7oAClh4G/?igshid=58uky1m4noc5

Finished the first take today in James Bay 17 years after my first project was completed. I learned from that old book "The White Jeeka" but there is nothing like the excitement of getting there. It's like after the band's first gig. I ordered food and danced around as you just want to keep the high going forever. 😃 📚 Please follow @thequietcitynovel and check out the free Prologue now at tompogson.com 😁 #finished #yay #excited #yyi #instadaily #instawriter #writersofinstagram #explorevic #explorebc #vancouverisland #pnw #victoriabc #britishcolumbia #historicalfiction #downtownvictoria #explorevictoria #writing #writingcommunity #yyjwriters #writerslife #booksofinstagram #book #stories #storytelling (at James Bay, Victoria B.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8VC7WfFJkZ/?igshid=jvxkyoogyqid

Elevator Pitch Planning

Target user

Event-goers in the local community.

Their needs

Support local artists and save money/find cheap events at the same time.

Find a variety of events suited to their interests.

Feel connected/in the loop with their favourite artists.

The problem

Events are expensive.

Smaller artists struggle with exposure and regular attendance.

How my solution will solve the problem

Events shown in the app will be personalised for the user.

Implemented rewards will offer deals and incentivise attendance to events to support smaller artists.

Why my solution is better

Following feature allows you to keep up with artists.

Extensive information on artists.

Personalised to the user.

Rewards system that's already part of the app.

Pitch Script

Slide 1

Most event-goers care about cost, distance, and engagement with artists.

Currently, smaller artists face the struggles of exposure and consistent event attendance when trying to make a name for themselves.

Slide 2

In response, I have created EXPLOREVENT, where event discovery and rewards meet.

EXPLOREVENT is an all-in-one location-based platform that helps event-goers discover events in their community personalised to their interests and engages them with smaller artists.

Slide 3

What makes EXPLOREVENT unique is the implemented rewards system that benefits both event-goers and the artists. Event-goers can enjoy the rewards awarded to them for attending events while also supporting smaller artists in their community.

With EXPLOREVENT, event-goers can spend less time searching for events that are right for them and more time connecting with the smaller artists in their community whilst getting rewarded at the same time.

So next time, how do you want to EXPLOREVENTs?

Thank you for your time.

To do next

Welcome screens (user chooses interests similar to when you sign up to Netflix).

Following and Home (Discover) screens.

Research why people go to events.

Research if events have become more expensive.

Prototype Demo Script

Naomi is a student in her early 20s and she's into finding new bands to get into and learning new things, so she's just installed ExplorEvent to find some events to attend in her free time.

Here she's just set up her profile and selecting her interests.

Now Naomi's shown a home page catered to her interests. She's also shown what's popular and other categories incase she was curious.

She's interested in the craft market coming up, so she can save it to view later.

She's also just bought tickets to see a new band, and she can view those tickets when she wants to.

In her profile, she can see her current point status, her purchased tickets and saved events.

By taping on 'Redeem', she's able to see what rewards she has available to her and a little sneak peak of what could be available if she keeps attending events.
