Artefact #4 second draft

After showing my fourth artefact to a group of volunteers I found that the interface was quite confusing and they didn't feel that what they wanted from the application was properly reflected, so I simplified the menu's and removed some of the original options to give a better user experience.

Home landing page when app is launched

Main Navigation Page

Ticket purchase and information page

Calendar page, dates with events are circled. Tapping on an event will lead to the ticket purchase/info page for that event.

Offers page. Each link will bring the user to a new page with relevant offers.

 Current track page. To break up the pages more I decided to combine this as a landing/menu page to find the previous tracks and also to request songs.

Socialise page/menu. Although a check-in service wasn't an overly desired option within the application, a rewards service was, this would work through the check-in so it has been included in the social menu.

Artefact #4

As I have been researching QR codes as a means of interacting for club nights I began to think about how they could be used in the environment such as allowing for image uploads or downloads. This lead me on to think of how an application could be used to promote a club and increase interactivity. I carried out a short survey to find out what would attract users to download and use an application for a venue. From the results which can be found here I designed a hypothetical application which would be used on smart phones. Generally people were most attracted to the idea of being able to purchase tickets, get discounts and offers and rewards for attending frequently. The least desirable option was a blog with downloadable content, which only one person wanted from the application.

 

  

 

Sky Arts #2

Carrying on from the previous Arts Ident I decided that I'd like to look more at After Effects and how I can manipulate imagery to create something new. From my research project I had been looking more at QR codes and I wanted to try and incorporate these into moving image in my research project and so extended this to my client work too. Through my research I didn't come across any moving imagery in advertising where the entire peice is composed of a barcode and manipulated. I did however come across artist Scott Blake who creates portraits from barcodes, which can be scanned and link to interactive art peices.

Artefact #3

QR Hacking (Artefact #3 Continued)

During my research into error correction I found a website which allows for QR's to be hacked. When looking into how this worked I found that up to 30% of a code can be edited and a phone will still be able to recognize and comprehend the data within. Obviously as more of the code is changed the more tempramental it will be but I found that in all the cases of scanning different codes myself and my volunteers came across no problems and had a 100% success rate. Below are the codes they were asked to try.
