i really like some alot of this guys design choices here. i especially like the diagonal line fill in blue up at the top. the way this is all laid out has given me a couple ideas for my own site. cool stuff. my one complaint would be that the text is a little tough to read, maybe something a little heavier weight? additionally the guy works in an office with draplin which makes him all right in my book

1. Who are you targeting?

See & Be Scene’s target audience skews to the ever sought after 18 – 35 demographic. Those who are already comfortable using technology and sharing information about themselves online and in a social network setting. Those that enjoy interacting socially outside their home and already regularly attend or are at least minimally aware of social and cultural events in the Portland Metropolitan Area.

2. How does your target audience use social media?

see question 1

3. How should you come across?

The site should come across as light hearted and fun. The service we are offering is finding parties and meeting people so the site should feel like the digital extension of a social gathering. However there is a balance to be struck in that we must come across as trustworthy enough to make users comfortable sharing their location with us.

4. What do you want to achieve?

The end goal of the site is to be a catalyst for the user to explore their city and meet new people. To move them from the digital world into the analogue and the experience all that the metropolitan area has to offer. To help them feel more connected with the community and city around the,.

5. Are you ready for a long engagement?

As the site consist chiefly of user generated content once we have the infrastructure in place on the back end the site could become as big and as active for as long as the users continued to generate locations and meet ups.

fun//

the whole point of my service is for people to go out and have a good time with new people and my site needs to give it’s visitors that feeling from start to finish.

clear//

there will be alot of information on the site and it will be easy for it to get cluttered and leave the user confused so clarity of message and information will have to be top of mind all the way through the design process.

informational//

users come to the site to see what their friends are doing and where the action is so i must deliver on the promise. they must be able to get their hands on as much information as easily as possible.
