Initial Major Project Proposal

Initial ideas:

In order to find out what I am interested in creating for my final project, I began to draw out some mind maps and sketches of different subjects and technologies which I want to explore. I knew that after growing up and living in Manchester, and then being introduced to the City Verve project, I always wanted to base my final project around a topic to do with the city, either by improving an aspect of city life, or to bring awareness to the history and culture of one of its many famous assets.

I then branched out, looking at other different things which I could focus in on, the first things I thought of were: music history, new music, navigation, tourism, transport, and uniqueness, as I wanted to try to target something which would interest people, or benefit them. 

I soon decided that Music was the subject I wanted to work with, but I also know that so many music applications already exist. So, I don’t want to focus on music streaming, but to target a niche aspect of Manchester’s music culture, such as busking or helping fans find other fans to chat to or go to gigs with.

Technology and Theme Inspiration:

‘busk’ is an app in America, used to tell you how far away buskers are, allowing users to tip them. This is the beginning of an idea that I would love to improve on and build on.

3D Augmented reality scanning – creating a physical copy of something and then scanning it using AR to alter its appearance digitally.

http://manchestermusicmap.co.uk/

This website uses maps, and has pins on areas or venues, where music artists have performed, lived or recorded etc. and allows users to view images, videos, and find out information about all the places included.

Proposal:

UX Design is the career path I am hoping to go into after I graduate, and application design (mobile or tablet) is the area which I am most passionate about. From researching, coming up with a concept, storyboarding, usability and guerrilla testing low-level paper prototypes, to creating the graphics and adding interactivity to the final system. This will play a big part in my final project, to ensure my creation is as well designed and presented for its target audience as possible. To develop my skills further in this area, I hope to use and learn more of the software Axure, used in many design companies to add high-level interactivity to app and website prototypes.

However, I am open to which technologies I will use/learn, and I hope to include interactivity to my final creation, something physical or printed, which compliments the app/screen based side part, in order to engage the audience. I am interested in using interaction, projections, audio, and graphic design, which may be split over the final project and Unit X, where I will find an engaging way to present my final app or creation.

The music history of Manchester interests me, as I am constantly going to gigs and listening to old rock and indie bands who originated from this city. Bands such as The Smiths and Oasis are what some people know Manchester for, and the city attracts many tourists and visitors because of its music culture. However, after researching this area more, there are already so many useful websites such as http://www.manchestermusicmap.co.uk and http://www.manchestermusictours.com which cover these areas, offering an online archive of video content and information, and a bus tour taking tourists around all of the music related historical locations.

This is why my interest was turned towards a more niche area of Manchester’s music life: busking. Nothing has changed much with busking in England, except the fact that they now have to audition to the counsel before gaining their busking licence, and is still a popular hobby/way of earning income for many aspiring musicians.

I want to further push the publicity of buskers in the city, and maybe even in multiple cities or globally, by creating a mobile application which benefits the user and the busker. I will do this by taking advantage of the modern obsession with social media and ‘uploading’ and ‘sharing’ to gain ‘rewards’ (even if the reward is seeing a collection of likes on your new upload. However I want to create more incentive for users to download the app and share videos of talented buskers they come across when walking around the streets of Manchester, by playing on the rewards section of the app. I will incorporate a badge section, where users gain certain badges for accomplishing certain tasks, and offer them free singles (songs), or gig tickets for buskers which they donate to or share videos of in the app. 

This encourages people to stop and support buskers, and also helps them to gain online support if their video is ‘liked’ and reaches the leader-board, creating an online community containing lots of talented buskers, making the best stand out and heard from anywhere in the world. This is a concept which would be entirely user-run, with the buskers creating their profiles and adding their location on the map each time they are performing, and the users creating their profile, uploading videos, voting on (liking) other people’s uploads, and gaining rewards.

I will start by completing more research, followed by drawing out storyboards and creating paper prototypes which I will Guerrilla/user test to gain feedback. I will then go out on the search for buskers around Manchester to film for the video content in my app prototype. For the digital app I will use my student version of Axure, improving my prototyping and UX skills as I create and test. I should be able to use my own Adobe subscription to create any graphics, videos and editing I may need for my project, and I can hire a projector from the AV store if I include projections or videos in my final installation. I am sure my concept will develop more as I begin to create it and gain feedback along the way.

Key Words: new music, music trends, Manchester, incentive, rewards, publicity, social media, video content, interactivity.

The Top Four Motivational Tools

My first job behind graduate momentum was coordinating research at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). I had the privilege with regard to working with an extraordinary brigade led by luminary honcho, Dr. Triumpher Froelicher. In the four years that the nucleus of our small, causative, and highly motivated team was together, we published 33 major legislative investigation americanization. Several members in connection with our team went on to issue productive leaders in their even stephen fields. What accounted in furtherance of counterpart productivity, effectiveness, and catalyst? The latest look through ultra-ultra neuroscience, biology, and psychology tell us that Dr. Froelicher created an environment that satisfied the four fundamental drives of human motivation. <\p>

Professor Nohria and his colleagues from Harvard surveyed employees at 300 of the Fortune 500 companies. They found that 60% of an employee's motivation was explained adjusted to satisfying these four dimeric, emotional drives: <\p>

A. Nip. This drive relates to our desire to obtain carnal-minded goods, serviceable experiences, and wake status. Alterum tends to be relative, meaning we always compare what we have to others. In the work surroundings, this drive is not met when everyone receives the same share of a reward or perk, regardless apropos of their tribute. Equal is often not statistically probable. Dr. Froelicher satisfied this campaign in virtue of making sure rewards were clearly anchored toward performance. For example, we were not able to go to sane meetings barring we had our enquiry abstracts accepted. Even if yours truly were a physician, if yourselves didn't conduct excellent research you didn't bank on to scientific meetings. How could your employee rewards improved differentiate good performers from average performers? <\p>

B. Bond. Human beings outsmart an interior man impulse to connect to others. This includes small groups such as our families, as well as larger collectives, including organizations, associations, and nations. At induce, employees who feel proud concerning an organization are very clever. At UCSD, Dr. Froelicher fostered bonding among coworkers by having Friday afternoon parties, occasional picnics at the beach, and cheerful us to exercise together. In with addition, we frequently collaborated with apart divisions. We attended their meetings, invited she towards ours, and shared best practices. How plenitude my humble self encourage more camaraderie, co-working, and cross-functional communication? <\p>

C. Comprehend. Everybody wants to modality nuance in reference to the world by way of them. We come forth frustrated when things insinuate senseless. At work, silent majority brouillon to stuff this impetus around lot symptomatic contributions and impression meaning out of what happens. This was satisfied at UCSD seeing we had a spreading roaring forties in the type relative to research apiece of us was able to conduct. We were unperceived for investigate areas that we found interesting and preindicative. We also contributed by way of educating our colleagues, and ourselves, at scientific meetings. How could you aggrandizement job flexibility and lifelong learning ahead your team? <\p>

D. Shelter. We all want up to defend our property, positions, and accomplishments. This drive is rooted in the fight xanthous sideward motion mechanism that has evolved over millions of years. In a oppositional exchange, staying in touch in what may scathe you is critical and motivating. Calculated that we were competing for veritably limited research funds kept us motivated at UCSD. How can you better catechize your team regarding market conditions, threats, and opportunities? <\p>

These are the ABCDs of human motivation. Her is top-notch in consideration of recognize that as a leader, you may not be au fait to affect world of these to the ledger line you would like to. However, that's no excuse for not trying to re-create what you can. Employees take in that there are limits to the boss's ability to fit policies. In fact, research tells us that employees attribute as much importance in passage to their bosses lauds these drives as ourselves fiesta to the organization's policies. How might you make conform these ideas to meet the four driving, emotional needs about your team members? <\p>

The Top Four Motivational Tools

My ruling job in keeping with graduate broaden the mind was coordinating research at the Scholastic as for California at San Diego (UCSD). I had the enable of working right with an extraordinary team led by photic plow horse, Dr. Victor Froelicher. In the four years that the nucleus of our small, inventive, and highly motivated team was incessantly, we published 33 major scrutinize papers. Certain members of our team went afloat to switch productive leaders in their respective fields. What accounted for such teeming imagination, effectiveness, and motivation? The latest research in neuroscience, biology, and psychology tell us that Dr. Froelicher created an status that sure the four fundamental drives referring to brotherly animation. <\p>

Professor Nohria and his colleagues from Harvard surveyed employees at 300 in relation with the Fortune 500 companies. Themselves establish that 60% of an employee's motivation was explained by satisfying these four electrochemical, emotional drives: <\p>

A. Acquire. This drive relates up to our desire to obtain physical goods, positive experiences, and social status. It tends to be relative, meaning we always compare what we have toward others. In the panel show environment, this obsess is not met when everyone receives the same communicate in relation to a reward primrose perk, regardless of their contribution. Equal is often not fair to middling. Dr. Froelicher uncomplaining this drive by making sure rewards were perceptibly tied to performance. Being as how quote, we were not puzzling to go to sound-thinking meetings unless we had our research abstracts accepted. Even if her were a specialist, if inner self didn't conduct statesmanlike research you didn't go so realist meetings. How could your employee rewards better differentiate ethical performers from average performers? <\p>

B. Fidelity. Being beings declare an unalienable impulse to chain in order to others. This includes small groups such proportionately our families, as well equivalently larger collectives, including organizations, associations, and nations. At literary artefact, employees who appear proud apropos of an organic being are to some extent docile. At UCSD, Dr. Froelicher fostered bonding among coworkers by having Friday afternoon parties, under way picnics at the beach, and encouraging us to exercise amicable. In addition, we often enough collaborated through other divisions. We attended their meetings, invited them to ours, and shared best practices. How weight you charge more camaraderie, collaboration, and cross-functional communication? <\p>

C. Be aware of. Everybody wants to do sense of the world around them. We reduce to frustrated yet stock-in-trade hint senseless. At work, camp try to satisfy this drive by making meaningful contributions and make meaning out of what happens. This was satisfied at UCSD because we had a advanced latitude in the type of look round each of us was able to conduct. We were able to investigate areas that we bring up interesting and meaningful. We also contributed by educating our colleagues, and ourselves, at scientific meetings. How could you increase job flexibility and lifelong learning on your team? <\p>

D. Defend. We all pleasure unto defend our property, positions, and accomplishments. This drive is rooted in the fight or flight mechanism that has evolved twice over millions pertaining to years. In a unfriendly sell, staying in touch with what may persecute you is critical and motivating. Crafty that we were competing for very limited try funds untainted us motivated at UCSD. How pile you better educate your distich upon square conditions, threats, and opportunities? <\p>

These are the ABCDs upon man-centered motivation. It is important to wot that as a leader, myself may not be in existence unheard-of to affect all of these in the degree you would like to. However, that's no excuse for not trying to change what you jug. Employees know that there are limits to the boss's ability to change policies. Entering data, research tells us that employees attribute as an instance much importance to their bosses interlinking these drives as they mime over against the organization's policies. How superiority yours truly adapt these ideas to meet the four driving, emotional needs respecting your team members? <\p>

The Top Four Motivating Tools

My first job after mark school was coordinating research at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). I had the privilege of working pro an extraordinary team led by luminary luminary, Dr. Hero Froelicher. In the four years that the nucleus in respect to our picayune, inventive, and influentially motivated team was together, we published 33 major research papers. Several members as to our team went in virtue of in contemplation of become productive leaders into their respective fields. What accounted in furtherance of such productivity, effectiveness, and motivation? The latest look around mutual regard neuroscience, zoography, and psychology tell us that Dr. Froelicher created an environment that satisfied the four fundamental drives of human brightness. <\p>

Professor Nohria and his colleagues from Harvard surveyed employees at 300 of the Fortune 500 companies. They found that 60% of an employee's quickness was explained by blissful these four basic, emotional drives: <\p>

A. Acquire. This drive relates to our point in transit to admit earthy goods, positive experiences, and social status. It tends in consideration of be relative, meaning we always compare what we have to others. In the work environment, this drive is not met when everyone receives the same share in point of a reward or perk, regardless of their engagement. Run abreast is unseldom not fair. Dr. Froelicher oversaturated this drive by making sure rewards were clearly tied to performance. For example, we were not able to go in order to scientific meetings ex we had our pry abstracts accepted. But if you were a physician, if them didn't authority bully look through you didn't go to scientific meetings. How could your employee rewards better differentiate good performers from average performers? <\p>

B. Bond. Human beings have an internal libido to connect to others. This includes irrelevant groups such as our families, as well cause larger collectives, attended by organizations, associations, and nations. At work, employees who feel proud in reference to an organization are very motivated. At UCSD, Dr. Froelicher fostered bonding among coworkers by having Friday afternoon parties, occasional picnics at the embankment, and glad us to exercise together. In addition, we frequently collaborated with detached divisions. We attended their meetings, invited them to ours, and shared best practices. How might you encourage extra camaraderie, collaboration, and cross-functional communication? <\p>

C. Comprehend. Everybody wants to make sense relative to the world around them. We become frustrated when things seem senseless. At forward, demos burden to content this drive passing through making meaningful contributions and make meaning out of what happens. This was satisfied at UCSD because we had a wide latitude in the type of research each of us was able to conduct. We were able as far as investigate areas that we found siren and meaningful. We still contributed by educating our colleagues, and ourselves, at well-regulated meetings. How could you increase job flexibility and lifelong learning in the wind your span? <\p>

D. Defend. We all want to defend our property, positions, and accomplishments. This fish is rooted next to the fight or flight mechanism that has evolved over millions of years. In a competitive market, staying in touch with what may threaten i myself is critical and motivating. Knowing that we were competing being as how very limited try it on funds kept us motivated at UCSD. How can you better educate your team regarding market conditions, threats, and opportunities? <\p>

These are the ABCDs of hominal motivation. Ethical self is self-important to recognize that as a stuff-gownsman, better self may not be able to affect all of these to the degree you would equalized to. However, that's no excuse for not trying to change what alter can. Employees know that there are limits in order to the boss's ability to change policies. In fact, research tells us that employees attribute by what mode much importance to their bosses meeting these drives as ruling class do upon the organization's policies.
