This week we gave our first presentation about our degree project and received feed back from Marty and my peers. (You can have a peek at my presentation in the post below) The feedback I received in class brought the idea of curation into the foreground, considering the two different experiences between each route of participation, and the idea of logging behavior. With these ideas in mind, I can develop a holistic experience for the user that spans on-the-go, at home, and in their everyday environment.
I'm still in the works of finding the right partner for this project. I'm looking for an existing service or company that I can plug this project into. I've considered Mint, The Money Museum, Sallie Mae, and a couple other services, but these do not seem to be the right fit for my audience. Being a member of my target audience, I have a pretty good understanding that any email I get from Sallie Mae I either skim and delete or ignore and delete. I'm also aware that a museum offering some kind of service might be dry and not very helpful. This leads me to wonder if I can plug this service into an unexpected place, but still have it make sense to group the two together. Perhaps instead of thinking about where money originates, maybe considering plugging it into the places where you spend it. I don't like being told via mail or by someone who hands out flyers on the plaza to enroll in something, but I do however enjoy coming across things as I am going about my business. If something is sitting on the check out desk and it looks intriguing…I pick it up.
According to my timeline right now I should be gathering financial information for my booklet. I need to first educate myself before I can educate others, so that's where I am right now. Gathering the information so that I can relay it in a more simplified way.
