OUGD603 - Brief 06 - Secret Sessions - Evaluation

With this being a a brief I want to take forward further than this module, it was crucial to consider every aspect of making this application a reality. From the target audience, to the marketing considerations and visual aesthetics. Targeting students and supporting local dj’s enabled me to build on my networking skills. Through it, I have contacted with a lot of people around Leeds and became a part of the house party (events) community. On top of this, I worked closely with Paayal and Danny for the first time on a University project. Working collaboratively with people who have different skills really helped spark creative conversations and debates. Even with different thoughts and opinions, we complimented each other well. Trying to merge different tastes and styles really proved successful in our outcomes. This is something I initially thought would have been hard. I learned that communication in is KEY. This project has brought me closer to my interests within the music industry, as music is something I feel heavily influences my practice. Throughout the year I have been in contact with event managers (become one myself now too), music agencies, artists clients and researched a lot into the practice of music. All of this has allowed me to gain a good amount of knowledge of the industry. This brief really allowed me to uncover a lot about up and coming dj’s and introduce myself to venues I have never considered before. Although every part of this was rewarding, and having learned a lot from time management in previous briefs, I can now say I truly understand how essential it is to put a cap on time when it comes to creating more than one outcome.
