Week 2 - VCD Research/Studio Project Responsive Studio

Feedback from the showing at Week 2. I presented my wireframe, which would dictate the mechanics and features of my website/app/service. Got a lot of good feedback: 


  • Aimed at families vs flatters - different needs, whether one account would be for a whole flat or every person has their own account? Because flatting can change rapidly from year to year probably each person has their own account 
  • If the target audience (Maori and Pasifika) works, that's cool but if not the idea can stand on its own. Not just for them, everyone can use it but make it extra welcoming to them. 
  • Communication is the most important feature of this programme, a relationship between the landlord and tenant, over and above the database
  • Shared experience, with the mediating 3rd party. How would it look from the landlord's perspective? 
  • Does your target audience (Maori + Pasifika) have access to this platform?
  • Could you manage and sign contracts over this platform too? With annotations and things... again encouraging dialogue between landlord and tenant
