The making of ‘Blondebombout’
Content curation was exceptionally hard, the best element of my DA is that festival season is usually around summer time with the expectation of a few held throughout the rest of the months , this means that for the rest of the year I could concentrate my efforts in other places. The disadvantage to this is that was having to create content between those times.
After completing the 2nd final stage in the design process, it’s time to publicly manage your online artefact in the making stage. Content curation is the most successful way to increase your online presence and further your DA progress. After posting ‘Berlin experiment’, I noticed that although I wasn’t receiving any initial likes or comments to help with my feedback loop and iteration, in the last week iv had limited visits from a potential audience member in the USA.
I discovered that posting regularly help prove that creating new content allows your digital artefact to widen its target audience breach.
When I first commenced my project, I wasn’t gaining any new followers or even getting much activity on my site.
However, once I begin posting on a schedule and updated my twitter profile whilst also tweeting about recent updates, I began receiving more views. Still no feedback but slow and steady wins the race, right?

As you can see, the audiences engagement has been staggered throughout the whole process and its taught me that I have to continuously generate new ideas in order to keep up my views. A few reasons for lack of feedback and online engagement is
- That my content isn’t appealing to my targeted audience
- that my content isn’t doesn’t apply or isn’t needed in the times I post so therefore irrelevant
- haven’t been uploading as much content and therefore haven’t been able to get numbers up.
Filmora and iMovie are still being utilized to edit my videos and YouTube as the distribution platform. However helpful Filmora is for it free online tutorials, it also very time consuming and when writing an article, I have to ensure I leave enough editing time. Another improvement I made to my DA was embedding my website URL into my twitter profile allowing easy access across multiple platforms. Also changing my title page for flow.
Overall, I’m pleased with my project, it might not have been how I imagined but I’m aware of what could of been done to improve where I’m at now and I’m also just thankful that I learnt something. this project helped to understand the foundation behind the design process, which hopefully I can continue to create content for in the future.
