OUGD504 - Design for Screen - Feedback

As a large group we have been asked to write questions for the class relating to our project, this feedback could then be taken forward into more finalised design ideas and wireframes.

Question 1. If you wanted to know what is on at galleries and museums near you what might you use?

Social media, Facebook events
Googling 'art events near me',
 looking at website of the galleries they already know,
Local city websites, e.g Leeds List, Leeds Inspired. 


This in a way reconfirmed what I already knew that the problem was apparent and seemed to effect not only me, how the Art Map is advertised can be informed by this, placing advertisements in the places where the users would be searching could be effective. 

Question 2. What are the positives and negatives of these websites/apps?

Positives

Lots to choose from, gives a large overview. 

Negatives

Not much time in advance to plan the trip,

 A lot of information that isn't diluted down,

no information on how to get there

Not enough information of what is inside the exhibition.

Some events aren't clearly enough explained, if you can photograph inside the exhibition,

No live updates

Search is necessary 

Question 3. If an app (or website) was to tell you about all the exhibitions near you what information would you need/want to know?

Location,

Date, 

Content,

How long its on for,

Similar exhibitions around the area,

how to get there

opening times

artists background

prices

how long it takes on average to look around,

Question 4. How can the user experience of this service (app/website) be engaging / useful / helpful?

Simplistic, informative, use images of exhibition, 

be clear to read and understand

highlighting important information

pictures of gallery space

personal - recommendations based on history/ how much your willing to pay

categorised for easy navigation 

Filtered searches 

themes of events that find events specific to your interests


Question 5. Finding the right exhibition for the user is key, how could this process be made easier?


Filtered searches, 

asking what their favourite artists/designers are, what they are into, how much they are willing to spend

Question 6. When you have found the gallery/museum/exhibition that you are looking for what else would you want to know?

Price of entry

what else to do in that area

map to the gallery

Travel guide, map, entry price

Question 7. Any other Suggestions / Ideas / Problems?

Account options

making it more personal

making sure the service should sell the exhibitions, rather than question its worth.

review section

calendar, where you can input events you want to go to

notifications for future events 



To insure the feedback was relevant and could be applied to the designing and content asking specific questions was important. This feedback at times just confirmed what I already knew but some new and interesting suggestions were made.
