Desining
back
1.Who are you designing for? Criminals
2.What is their relationship to the collection? Depends on the specific type of the user group, some of them are interested in art and they want to learn more about it or just explore it and other will use the collection to for instance to earn more money
3. Which content are you "interfacing"? Painting/sculpture in spacific neighbourhoods (Charlois, City center, Delfshaven)
4.What type of interaction is fitting for this? Informative
5.What type of medium is fitting for this? Digital or analog
6.In general, what are you trying to accomplish through the interface you want to design?If the user is really interested in art and he wants to contribute in a way to art so he will feel better, every time he sells drugs he can give like a bussiness card to the website
if the user earns a lot of money and he wants to expand the collection by donating money to the artists. Something that will be useful in real life for the user.

inspiration for making the map fluorescent, glowing in the dark
Desicions based on the two feedback sessions
1.To work on the "Escape plan" idea, because there is stonger connection between the user and the collection
2. Instead of making map I decided to make small cards to present the artoworks to the user, using QR code to Googe maps, because everyone has access to internet and it is easier. However, the design reminds of map and the address will be on it as well.
3 ideas:
-The share box
The most common thing in the user profiles is that they all started because of money. The share box is a place where you can share your story with others. By organizing the stories by colours they can help others and prevent more people to start dealing.
-The packaging
Using the artworks' name to make a code system. Each packaging would present different drugs that are related to a code (artwork).
-The escape plan
The artworks can also suggest different opportunities for the user. In this case, the user uses the place to hide/deal safely. The escape plan is a map that presents the safest places. As we researched, the user is also interested in art so this gives him the chance to work in an pleasant environment.

WHY?
Design choices


^
1. Why this size?
-I chose a business card size because it's small and can be easily carry everywhere, also it's less likely to be seen because of its size.

2.Why this background?
- I decided to print on transparent plastic because I didn't want the cards to be associated with business cards, although they are the same size. We usually see business cards printed on normal paper, that's way I used different to emphasize more on the idea that these are cards, escape plan cards.

3.Why this design?
- After the last feedback session I changed the idea of making a map to a simple one. However, I did want to save the map idea somehow. This is the reason why I made the design to reminds of roads/maps. Connected together, they actually make a map.

4.Why this font?
- I wanted to bring the idea of something secretly, something that is not everyone. I used monospaced font which is usually used for coding. I connected the address, the name to a code giving the feeling that the cards are strictly confidential.
Conclusion
From the research part, I got insights about my user group- drug dealers. They are normal people like us, with normal interests and needs. I decided to interpret the artworks differently in order to make a strong connection between the user and the collection. I came up with the escape plan because hiding/dealing safety was one of the reasons why the user will visit an artwork, no matter if he/she is interested in art or not. I wanted to make an interface suitable for everyone. Therefore the escape plan is the final idea that came alive. Using the safest spots from the BKOR collection I introduce exciting, different environment to the user group to hide/deal. The interface consists of small cards, with the name of the artwork, address and QR code, which leads to a website. The website gives even more opportunities to the users. There they can find everything they need- additional information about the artworks, how to find the hidden map, what is the interface about and they can communicate as well. The escape plan website is for a closed group. In order to see everything they need to make a profile/ sign up.
With a card in his pocket, the user always has a backup plan.
Map
All the cards make one hidden map. Empasize more on the secrecy and codes/hidden.
Website
In order to make everything clear and easy understandable, I made a mockup website. Instead of google maps, when scanning the QR code, the website will appear. There is everything the user needs to know. The escape plan website will also give additional information about the artworks, the hidden maps and the interface itself. Moreover, they can communicate to each other.
