Welcome to Gigz

Hi, I’m Josh!

I’m a designer and developer and the founder of Gigz. I’m currently in my 3rd year in Design at Swinburne University, here in Melbourne, Australia. Gigz is an idea I’ve had for a few months now and something I thought would be fun to dive into as I continue my studies.

This blog will be a place where I can take you all through the process of what I’m doing to build this product. As Paul Stamiotou says “writing is such an extremely important part of the design process.” This space will encourage me to share openly why a decision was made and the process I took to get to that point.

Over the course of this project I’ll be sharing user-flows, wireframes, prototypes, UI interaction videos to show early insights into how the product is looking and to collect any feedback from you, potential users.

Minimum Viable Product

So what is our MVP for release? So at the core of it all, Gigz is a product that is there to help you remember the great live music you have seen in your life. As I become older, sometimes I forget if I saw that show back in 2004 of Broken Social Scene at The Corner Hotel here in Melbourne.

My target MVP will be adding a gig/concert to your profile with who the artist was, the venue and the date. And from there I will build out more features to help you put more details for those memorable moments, whether it’s a note, a photo of a video, who you went with and more.

What Next?

Follow us on Twitter and I'll be posting updates on there, as well as links to new blog entries where I'll be writing more on the design process so far.
