Website for the Creative Briefs Podcast
Reason
The podcast does not have it’s own space on the internet and is currently hosted on AIGA Pittsburgh’s site.
Audience
People who enjoy hearing creative people talk about their endeavors and experiences.
Goals
Giving the podcast it’s own site will enable the show to grow its audience. A potential listener will be able to visit a URL related to the show instead of finding it buried in the AIGA site. The site will also be styled to match the show logo and create a more in depth visual style that fits with the feeling of the show.
The podcast will also be able to create more interaction with a site. They will be able to allow listeners to subscribe to the show directly through an rss feed and avoid vendors such as iTunes. Having a site will also allow the show to host its question submission forms on their site instead of just using a default google form.
Having a site also allows the show to expand the type of media it produces in the future by giving them a singular place to host and publish it.

This course project emulated the startup-like product design process starting with PEST analysis to Kickstarter campaign pre-launch. It was a great learning experience to simulate how a product team may carry out a service innovation in a fast-paced, competitive business environment. One of the highlights was that we had to channel a systematic perspective for the service design – not just focusing on polishing product to be user-centered, but also to consider how this service may interact with multiple stakeholders in the ecosystem at large. We played around with the sharing economy idea of a neighborhood crowdsourced delivery service. Teams are made up of researcher, designers, product managers, business consultants and developers.
We used multiple methods to identify the opportunity that we can leverage. When brainstorming, we particularly used one method call “PEST” Analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) .

A software organization has engaged you to study their programming process and design methods and tools to make them more effective. Available technology—internet, mobile phones, television, software management systems, etc.—should be considered; but simpler process changes should not be ignored. You have decided to start by observing programmers at work in order to understand the process they follow and the information flows among them and their systems. Each member of your team will observe a programmer for about an hour.
The programmers you will observe are actually students doing a task in a Computer Science course, 15-213, so some of the issues that arise may be related to the learning environment more than professional software practice. Your team could eventually decide to focus on the learning process. For now, you should just record and interpret whatever you see.
I forgot to take photos for this LOL

Created in 2006, the Carnegie Mellon International “Faces” Film Festival is a project of the Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon University, which has supported research and encouraged interest in the humanities for more than 13 years. The festival serves as a non-academic bridge to the greater Pittsburgh community, and opens its doors each year to the interests and passions of people across generations and cultures.
One challenge worth mentioning: Film, as a form of art, is visually impactful. In order to keep consistency with the branding art, we had to adapt ourself to the art basis, yet interpreting the art language to design.
