Week 3 Out Of Class: Flyer Design, Elevator Pitch and Tribe Questions



Kira and I's task for the conference over the weekend was to each develop the flyer design further from the feedback we received during class on Wednesday. We are both building from the Ipad design and deciding on content, placement and typeface use separately. This will allow us, on Monday, to decide as a group which pieces of which flyer we feel are working best, then apply it to the final version of the black and white flyer.

My version is to the left. I worked from the document Kira gave me and made it my own. I placed the masthead still at the top but I made it smaller and left a good amount of margin around it. I put the tagline in Intro the bolder typeface from the masthead because I felt it should stand out. Then the FREE right below it catches the readers eye, which will lead them to the website and the guest speakers. I could not make the website as prominent as I wanted to because of how long our URL is and I did not want it to be on two lines. I took the banner graphic from my original flyer (which I took from the back cover .ai file) to use for the date. I did this because I felt it was an important of piece of information that I could not into the ipad without the white space being compromised but I still wanted it to be highlighted so I placed it in the banner which will lead the eye to the venue information below. 


Elevator Pitch
For the on the go twenty-something who has a busy, hectic life, (product name) is a calendar that won’t slow them down. Unlike the default calendar app the product is fully customizable which allows for peak efficiency while being mobile.

(Product name is TBA so I did not include one in the elevator pitch)


Tribe Questions

What are my tribe’s shared passions, values, and beliefs? Do they share a common goal?
                - I feel that their shared passions are in their career, their line of work. Their values are staying on top of things and being independent. They believe in technology and use it profusely.

Is my tribe at a particular life stage? Puberty? Parenthood? Graduation?
- My tribe is in the transitional stage of the end of college (Graduation) and becoming part of society, whether that be through a job or internship.

What is their common identity, sense of belonging, and expression?
-Their common identity is a person in this transitional place in life. All of them are striving for something whether it is for an internship or graduation. Their sense of belonging is where their work, loved ones and new life all meet. Their expression is hopeful and focused.

Who do they hang out with? Where do they hang out (both on and offline)?
                -They probably hangout with people close to their age. These people may be from school or newly met coworkers. They hangout on facebook, twitter and probably instagram and in the real world bars, coffee shops and maybe even their friends’ new places.

What is my tribe currently talking about? An event? A product? A problem?
                -My tribe is most likely talking about the most current event, whether that be the newest gallery or bar downtown, the newest technology being announced or the fact that they are still stuck in the internship.

What rituals do they practice?
                -Their rituals may include, getting a hot morning beverage, weekly calling loved ones, a daily walk of their pet and late nights catching up on their favorite shows.

What goods and services is my tribe passionate about? How do they link them to others?
                -They are passionate about services that can aide them in their transition, especially things online that can help get their persona out in the world. They link each other through their social media of choice, whether it is twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. They are also passionate about goods are services that allow them to express themselves.

How will my app impact their lives? How does it makes their world a better place?
-My app will affect their daily lives. The app will allow them to have a place in the palm of their hand to put all of their tasks, meeting, appointments, list, but without the clutter so they don’t forget their mother’s birthday.
It will make their world better in that as they gain responsibilities in the world they will have a place to store it and remind them so they do not get tripped up on the little things like a payment here or there, they can be reminded. This will allow them to focus on the important events an
