Work over the break + Week 7

The work I did over the break + week 7.

Advising with Tristam

• Process work is important - if you have a lot of process work, as long as you tell a story with your product, concept or whatever it will be the way to communicate your journey through the semester. 
• The depth of the product also. 
• They do want to hear about the journey but in a condensed way... all parts. A story. 
• My description of the product + visual aids

-- watch the story of a plastic spoon by Greenpeace

Create user journeys related to the situation

Things I need to do continuing on:

• Start the 1500 word report that is due along with our final output
• Plan out precisely my output schedule for the next 6 weeks 
• Need a website probably that would reach out to both tenants and landlords

Transmedia Touchpoints + Appearance of inSite

So as part of my "transmedia" campaign, I would probably have to make a website for inSite... the hardcore version of that would be actually make a working one that people could look at, the less hardcore version would be just mocking one up and putting it on InVision.

Transmedia touchpoints

website

the app

physical box thing that actually measured shit in your house

even some ads?  

Website

My website would only have to be pretty basic, essentially explaining the benefits and features of inSite to the viewer and encouraging them to buy it... it could look something like this in fact.

Screen interface and appearance of the house insert

I've been looking at some precedents to explore how my actual thing would look, like on the wall, and that would be cool if I could have an example of it in my final presentation. (precedents: Nest home automation, fitness apps, weather apps). 

Data Visualisation

Marketing

Depending on the government at the time, I would propose that this could be a subsidised program rolled out along with new regulations around renting, to encourage landlords to get ahead of the new regulations and take care of their house in the best way. 

The pull would be that it was data-regulated for optimum preservation of the landlord's asset and that it would be better than traditional property managers.  

"A switched-on property manager. Literally." 

"Anticipate issues before they have a chance to arise..." 

"Property managers aren't regulated. inSite is."   

Supercrit notes from week 6 + the 10/5 Post Supercrit Report

#Supercrit Report - 10/5

1) I found the lecturer critique useful

2)   I intend to make a prototype of the app for both tenant and landlords’ usage, and plot out the scope of my project for the now vs future vs far future representations of my project and what final outputs might happen for each of these.  

3)  There was actually less peer critiquing than happened at the previous supercrit. The quality of projects were quite wide ranging from what I saw. I got to make some cool earrings at Hannah’s booth which was my favourite thing about the supercrit.

Supercrit Notes

 

• How to manage the property better
• Collaborative experience for tenant and landlord
• How as a tenant and landlord you can do the best thing for each other 
• Government subsidised product. 
• E.g. "using this product will make your tenants more likely to take care of your house in future."
• Go crazy with this... lasers etc (make it very flashy and futuristic)
• IOT (the internet of things)  
• Nest Labs...
• Council "stickers" not safe for habitation or indicative of how safe it is? Like a ratings thing but maybe in a digital format 
• Smart buildings and smart houses
• Monthly report to the landlord...
• Don't fall into the black hole of privacy issues, within a landlord-tenant context
• What would the project look like if you are doing it now, tomorrow, and in the future? 
• How big is my scope?
