I get forced to take highly complex decisions
immediately after ordering a cup of Cappuccino.
A second of hesitation and the clerks will freak out!
But this is not the only example of a poorly designed

tomorrow you will not see many keyboard or knob based
interfaces any more
no matter how complex a task
It's all gestures, multitouch, intuitive, customizability

Designers often tend to talk about the pre- and the post-iPod era.
Touch sensitive controllers, minimized into one jog wheel that intuitively
allows all control you need to use a mobile music device became the role
model of how a slick intelligent device has to be accessible to the user.
Even though the iPod has some control bugs, no one really cares, the
interface design is just good enough.

The crucial question will be, how will content like music be consumed and
'handled' in a touchscreen environment?
It's a matter of fact, that the fast developing screen technology and
interface design is producing and aiming on more interaction with the
device.
MoodWheel, is a first hint: A simple on/off switch will not match the users
demands any further, if they are presented a device that allows so much
more.

Scrolling through tree-like menus, being asked to compile playlists in a
time eating manner, tag and sort stuff will be a K.O. criteria as soon as
new forms and options to interact with your device
create new habits and thus
a new approach towards media consumption, and therefore towards the
content.

You agree,
nothing about media consumption is for granted
or lasting or set.
No matter how used we are to
consume media in a certain way.

transforming content, 1:1 across different media or interfaces
means to force the user to adopt the handling
from outdated technologies to new ones
... like using a floppy disc with a netbook

The means:
Users do
- not accept given material
- demand interaction
- preferably use material they can use for self-design

Design is the key,
fashion blogs outrange fashion magazines,
blogs outrange traditional media,
from myspace profiles to a CV,
from a personal letter to a website,
from a facebook profile to the personality that you want to be on facebook
from your individual playlists to the community you share your music with
everything is designed, preferably DIY
Content already IS a matter used for such self-design
users won‘t stop just because it is music, YOUR music

What I want to say,
if you want to connect a consumer
to your product
allow him to mess around with it
or you‘re screwed.

45. self-design content
Music
- tracks are being dissolved in playlists, DJ Sets, genre-tags, ...
- tracks are being mashed up, cut, mixed to match individual consumption
is combined with rich media
is stored on multiple plattforms and devices
Dienstag, 7. September 2010

46. self-design content
What content could match this requirements?
Say a song that can be played with various video edits that you swipe over it,
or that can be altered from a pop version to a singer songwriter or dub or
instrumental version by a simple gesture you perform on the screen just
because you feel like...
a Karaoke version, instrumental,
tagged not with the usual genre/artist/label/... but with moods, daytimes,
occasions, go location based,
