Monday 18th March – Brief Launch
To put brief in context we all initially watched the video which visualised how technology has developed and become more in tune with our lives. We then were given some more explanation about the different areas of this new area of technology.
Moving digital is both seen as a good thing as well as bad. When talking about the transition into the digital world it has been seen as mainly a beneficial as it is less likely to be lost, easier, quicker, easily shared – all which help the user. Although this means we can live a “better life” than before it can be switched as we are now being less social and less active. In the tutor’s presentation he showed many mind numbing apps that we as the general public love and will most likely continue to love.
This got me thinking about how most people are being exploited for their needs to be entertained constantly. This can also be seen through the back to nature workshops/ resorts that have little to no electricity. With the brief being create an app with my own ideas I am excited to see what ways the public (peers/ tutors) can react to my different concepts.
I am currently unsure on how I can find a good market or challenge myself and find an untapped niche market. Also I am a little apprehensive to use the new software – Adobe XD – which I didn’t even know existed until a tutor mentioned it.
