This week is finals week in London so I had 3 10-page papers as well as a presentation\u2026 so I\u2019m going to keep this short and sweet but I promise to make up for it on the next few!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

I only had time to explore the ideas left in the comments by Professor Ault and my IMM mentor, and here are my reactions to those ideas: <\/span><\/p>\n

Angela:<\/span><\/p>\n

What sets it apart\/gamification idea- \u201ccontests to win tickets to concerts, secret shows, meet and greets, merch prizes, check in at shows, photo contests\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-This is a great idea, as I\u2019ve also considered some other elements thrown around such as a live video feature (similar to periscope)<\/span><\/p>\n

I just have 2 concerns:<\/span><\/p>\n

-1. It may take away from the music \u201ccommunity\u201d side of things, kids go to these shows for the experience, not for the money, contests or prizes. Most of the merch being sold is to help out the bands who already don\u2019t have a ton of money, so having merch prizes might take away from that community feel. Some of the people already know the musicians as well because of how local these shows are so I\u2019m not sure if meet and greets would work in this small scale. <\/span><\/p>\n

-2. Because of my already ambitious (for me) idea of creating an app with location services, encyclopedias, etc, I\u2019m not sure how realistic it will be for me to add another element such as gamification. I do definitely want to consider this more and see if there is anything I can add based on the surveys I will conduct. <\/span><\/p>\n

Building the app- \u201cAdobe XD for mockups, Invision, PubNub- Kuiphoff\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

-When finals are over here, I\u2019m definitely going to look into these programs. I did a bit of research on Adobe XD and realized that I also used it for 280 during freshman year! This program was awesome with prototyping and I\u2019m going to look into it for when I begin my creation. (as well as the others)<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Ault:<\/span><\/p>\n

Figure out what sets it apart- \u201cbandsintown or songkick, survey people\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Building it- PhoneGap, Cordova, React, Lynda React Developer instructions<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Within the next few weeks, I\u2019m going to begin surveying some of my musical friends and ask them how they feel about some of the elements of the app, what\u2019s missing, how is it different from bandsintown, etc. (as well as look into some of your app building ideas)<\/span><\/p>\n

I do think that the main difference is that it caters to a more local community rather than a concert fanbase??–maybe I can look into ways to making it more community based?– some DIY centers include art workshops, I could potentially include other events centered around DIY on the calender. (not sure)<\/p>\n

I have very little knowledge on programming, so this is going to be an adventure for me! Definitely going to look into React, it would be very interesting to see how far I can get with the facebook group that already exists\/my idea.<\/p>\n

Sorry again for my lack of work this week, it was a crazy one :\/<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
