Problem Statement: 
Through the creation of my museum branding, I hope to aptly capture the essence of all that toy robots have to offer (such as a sense of modularity and a source of inspiration). Unlike current robot museums, I want mine to be a place of fun, learning, and inspiration for young kids, young adults, and parents of any age.

MMEXP: Poster Round 2 (I think)

This is a photo of our two latest poster iterations. Tiled prints. Commentary for changes already scripted out all over the beast. We really tried to get a better sense of hierarchy in place and this was the first round of posters with icons added. More changes to soon follow.

MMEXP: offline issues, online solutions: Further Flushed

8 Offline issues with online solutions, further flushed out

1- How can I find new dives?

- sorting method -> what are you looking for?

   - select search mode

        - NEAR ME: enter current location, pull up map, select location, get directions

        - CHEAP DRINKS: enter current location, get list of five cheapest locations within

            15 miles of you. View dive profile w/ list of nightly specials. select location,

            get directions

        -LIKE PLACES YOU ALREADY LIKE: over the course of your dive experiences

            you can rate and “like” a dive. When you go to find a new place, you can

            view a list of dives other people have “liked” based on the shared dives

            you have in common. You can then view personal profiles to view all

            locations that they “like,” their ratings/reviews, and their level of trustability

2- How can I find people to hang out with?

-find people near you: Log into dive GPS, see digital pings of other people that are out at dives

    (ability to sort via strangers or friends or both)

-Message Board: Log in, view a live-feed message board (sort by either strangers or friends)

    and see their updates “Going to Gusto in ten minutes,” or “This place is awesome, come

    join!”

- Send out invites to friends: Log in, enter your own message-board feed or message all friends

    “Gusto is cool, you should come join!”

3- How can I make a collective schedule for myself within the dive community?

Step one: Log in

Then you can either:

Subscribe to Bars: for instant special schedule and show schedule updates that you can view

    - night by night updates added by a dive: get an alert and you can add it to your

        schedule

View Message Board: View message board updates by friends that you can add

Specific Events Added- go to dive profile, view event list, add

    Example 1: “Gusto has a concert on Aug. 3” you can add it

    Example 2: “Gusto has $2 draft beers every Tuesday night” you can add it once or

        you can “add it on a weekly basis”

4- How can I share my dive experiences?

Step one: Log in

Then you can either:

-upload images, tag them with location and other denotations

-add a story to an experience

-sort- on dive profile, sort experiences to view other’s additions (sort by food, shows,

atmosphere, etc.)

OR

-view other’s experiences

    -log into GPS, get a message asking you to confirm your location, view the dive profile

        and then “view other’s experiences” which brings up photos, videos, stories, and

        general history of the bar. You can sort this information based on shows, food,

        regulars, service, etc.

5- How can I interact with music/live shows while at a dive?

Step one: Log in

If you’re at a live show- use your iPhone to record soundbites/video of the show you’re viewing,

then you upload them to the experiences tab on your profile or the experiences tab on a

certain dive profile. You then tag the clips however appropriate (“live show, music, dj, rock, etc.”)

If you want to add general information about a dive- you can comment on the dive’s profile

    Example: This place always has a DJ on Thursday nights

    Example: This place only has a jukebox

    Example: This place only ever has rock bands.

    Example: Sound quality of live shows suck here.

Find a dive with specific music- you can search by whatever category you’re looking for “DJ,

    jukebox, rock (or other genre), etc”

Get updates on shows: The system will send you a notification

    Example: Gusto will have DJ Mike DiLeo tomorrow night starting at 8!

    -You will then be able to add the event to your schedule or “ignore” the update.

Create your own play list: Hear a song, enter the song on the search engine, find the one

    you’re looking for, and then “add it to your jukebox” in order to create a personalized

    soundtrack of the night

Record a sound clip with you’re iPhone, use it later to identify the song or use the embedded

    program to recognize the song, which you can then make a note of or add it to your

    jukebox

6- How do I Keep Tabs on How Much I Spend?

Step one: log in

Enter drink totals as the night goes on- the system records the amount you spend for you to view later. You can set your preferences as to how long the information is recorded.

    -go to your preference's on your profile, select “keep record for one day only, keep

    record for one week, one year, etc.”

Specific amount to spend:

-Enter the total you want to spend that night ($30), hit “set,” then enter each drink you spend

    money on ($4, $7.40, etc.). You will get an alert when you get low on funds as well as be

    able to view your remaining total at any given time.

Sync with your tab and record how much you spend

7- How Do I Know Who’s Opinion Within the Community to Trust?

Step one: log in

View some one’s profile, read the feedback they’ve left for dives, experience it yourself, then

    revisit the person’s profile and “trust” what they wrote by clicking a button on their page.

OR

View a person’s profile and be able to see the number of “trusts” a user has gained

    Example: Jane has 312 trusted opinions (you would know this person is some one to

        rely on)

    Example: Steve has 2 trust opinions (When you look at the person’s join date and see

        how active they are on the site, you can use this number to determine Steve’s

        trustability.

8- How Can I & How Can I Find Out if I am Supporting the Local Economy?

Step one: Log in

Go to the Local tab on the iPhone app, take a photo of your beer with your iPhone, hit “local?”

tab and it will tell you if the beer is made locally or not.

Enter the name of the beer into the “local?” search section and it will tell you where it’s made

OR

Search for a dive with the option of “local beers served only”

Robot Museum Presentation #3

VisAd: Problem Indentification Round 3

Dmitri and I went to the farmer's market today. When we got back, we created a new list of people to target and the issues that each category has within the farmer's market.

We started with:

VENDORS:
-winter farmer's market -> awareness
-promoting farmer's market as a whole -> rebranding -> what they have seasonally, signage
-individual booth literature -> pamphlets, recipes, signs
-multi/different locations ->accessability
-"value added" -> recipes for vendors

PEOPLE THAT ATTEND (focus on families/parents):
-seasonal list
-how to use stuff
-language berrier
-kid friendly recipes
-incorporating processed foods and market foods into recipes

PEOPLE THAT DON'T ATTEND:
-awareness -> about market in general, what's available, family aspect -> "Family activities"


From there, we decided to choose two issues that we could focus in on and further flush out problems within those more specific categories.

We chose:

REBRANDING:
-the overall look and feel of the market, a solidified icon, etc.
-templates -> signage, personal promotional stuff (recipes, brochures, etc.), and awareness
          stuff like fliers to draw people in, signage, etc.
-what's in season
-language barrier

HOW TO USE FOODS AVAILABLE
-what's in season/available
-recipes
-kid friendly recipes
-incorporating processed foods w/ farmer's market goods
-language barrier
-cooking as a family experience

MMEXP: Poster Design R0..2?

Need to add in icons and change the background images still. 

Inspiration: My Little Pony

This person has way too much time on their hands, but they've done some awesome stuff.

MMEXP: Dive definition and offline problems/online solutions

DEFINITION

A dive is an unchanged, well-worn establishment with quirky nick-knacks, a distinctive smell, and a collection of regulars. They often have a jukebox in the corner or boast live shows. The reputation and friendly service of the dive are generally unknown, but once discovered

they have a story to share.
