This week we're looking at how we pick and choose ideas for self-initiated projects and running with these ideas to really create something we want to produce; not something that's been dictated or formed from external parameters. We need to consider our project aim, the target audience and assess the appropriate media to communicate our… Continue reading Week 1 – Research

This week we need to consider marketing strategies and ways of promoting and energising our idea/product - I think, because mine is app based, I've been too focussed on how I could use digital platforms to promote this app. However, I've since realised, having spoken to so many locals and tourists face to face, that… Continue reading Week 12 – Workshop Challenge

There’s no point in waffling on about something and how… Continue reading Week 12 – Developing Ideas and Designs for Launch of Authorial Artefact

This week, I've decided to choose my one idea from the list of 10 that gave me a buzz when i thought about it.

I'ved lived in York now for almost 10 years and I have… Continue reading Week 11 – Revealing Gaps, Targets and Audiences for a New Product or Service Idea

SpectreCollector A Paranormal ghost hunting app for all ages... Bringing York's worst kept secrets to life. The app would run in a similar style to Pokemon Go - York is a city of 1000 ghosts so we wouldn't be short on content. The ghosts would appear on the screen in augmented reality in the area… Continue reading Week 11 – Workshop Challenge
