Task Flow

After detailing our final cross media concept, we continued by creating flowcharts for the different platforms and media we use. The website and mobile phone have been seriously updated/changed to create better crossovers and increase accessibility.

Media Strategy & Conceptual Design Report

Hi followers,

(Scenario is included in the Media Strategy report!)

With feedback on our presentation we have detailed our concept so all aspects of it are clear. We now have a final crossmedia concept

From our last presentation we noticed people have difficulty understanding our concept explanation, and believe it to be more complicated than it is. So we have focused on creating a detailed and credible scenario to accompany our concept. The scenario is accompanied by images and gives an example of how Pieter, our persona, uses our crossmedia project.

Cmid Presentation 2 Concept Group F3

Dear followers,

Hearby we present you our concept presentation, of crossmedia design, we gave at 7 December at the faculty of Industrial Design in Delft

Concept Plan

This a a visualization of our concept. It features parties, platforms, media, and interactions.

  • The involved parties are the users (travellers), and the creators/moderators of the final project.
  • Platforms are mobile phones (GSM), the big screen, and the website.
  • Interactions are visualized by the arrows, and their direction shows in what direction interaction (input and output/feedback) take place.

Concept Visualization

Here is a quick visual impression of what our project could look like in the new trainstation.
Basically an enormous screen located on the platforms.
It's presence is a visual cue for interested people to crossover to another platform; their mobile phone.

There could be additional (tangible) cues. For instance we imagined a yellow line swirling along the platform's floor leading up to an information post standing below the screen.

×Media Projects Findings

We have now created a simple document listing crossmedia project examples and categorized them using the 4 layers of Cross-Media. In order to get useful information for our own project we have started with describing good, bad and remarkable features of all these separate projects on paper. A digital conversion of these ' ratings' will follow soon.

More importantly however, we have combined these good/bad/remarkable trends, similarities and features of all these projects in a general points of interest list. The next step is to get recommendations for our own project from this list. We hope this information proves useful for other groups too, so below you will find our points of interest. (currently 12, though this will undoubtedly increase)

  1. Many crossmedia projects are often used for commercial marketing purposes, but don't háve to be.
  2. Crossmedia projects can be combined and marketed alongside a new product.
  3. Making use of popular personalities/celebrities is common in advertising, and is extensively used in commercial crossmedia projects as well. e.g: popularity can be used to generate new popularity for example a project, service or product.
  4. Organized quests and searches, (like treasure- or manhunts) have been used succesfully in multiple crossmedia projects.
  5. Social profiling sites are used extensively in many crossmedia projects.
  6. Target groups have to be aware of a crossmedia project, in order for it to have any effect.
  7. Crossmedia projects seem to only be disliked if people's expectations about it are not met. On top of that people seem to have more expectations about useability and the interaction with digital applications, than about the entire goal of the project.
  8. The boundary between creative advertising and crossmedia projects is sometimes very vague.
  9. It seems creators/commissioners of crossmedia projects have better acces to more platforms than target groups.
  10. Humor is often used as a component of a crossmedia project.
  11. Some crossmedia projects require fees in order to be used, some are free.
  12. The succes of crossmedia projects is often measured in a (percentual) increase of:
  • Traffic; to a website, store, venue etc.
  • # Buyers or payments; products, services etc.
  • Registrations or applications; for webaccounts, jobs, testdrives etc.
  • Involvement or popularity; # attendees, forum posts, Google search hits, etc

Hope these points of interest are useful to any of you. And if they are/are not; feedback please!

Fishy

Are fishes a 'platform' for cross media, or is this just creative advertisement?
We'd like it if other groups helped decide, or at least discuss about what this or cross media means.

Our team

Hajimemashite! Japanese for 'how do you do', which means something like: 'Hallo, en aangenaam kennis te maken!' in Dutch

We are group f3, and our teamname is Spoor Drie, we have four members:
Victor, Faysal, Robert & Tim

Over the next two months we will design a cross media project around the Spoorzone Delft project, on behalf of the faculty of Industrial Design at the TU Delft.
For our design we shall use different platforms and/or media to develop a new product or service, or a combination of both.

In this quarter (09-11 to 29-01, 2009) you will be able to follow the progress of our project on this blog. We shall publish research we did, results and inspiration. During this time we will provide feedback on the progress of 3 teamblogs of our student colleagues. The urls of these blogs will be added later on.

In the first week we will start by searching for other cross-media projects, visit the information center Delft Bouwt, and start formulating our own project briefing. And last but not least we will start to develop and structure our teamblog, starting with this post.

(All feedback and suggestions are always welcome on this blog!)

Raw info over cross media projecten

A short websearch on examples of cross media projects yielded a number of interesting links (below).
Our next step is to analyze these projects and ideas; looking at resemblances, categorizing using the appropriate layers (CM1-CM4), en use all this for inspiratie.
The main goal of this analysis is to combine it with the information we get from Delft Bouwt in order to formulate our own project briefing.
