Art
Project Overview
This is where artsy comes in, this platform will help artists showcase their artwork to a wider audience, and connect with potential buyers and clients while also earning a living through the platform. The main goal of this project is to help artists monetize their artworks and to also be discovered by art lovers.
Artists are emerging in every part of the country. The artworks they put out every day are beautiful and inspirational but the problem is that they do not have a centralized system to help them showcase their artworks to the wider world. They resort to roadside showcases hoping that someone will get out of their car to buy from them.
The Challenges
The percentage that the platform charged artists should be right and there should be an assurance of sales to the artists.
A brief was sent out to me by my mentor to design an art platform where people can buy, sell and connect with potential clients. He wanted a solution that will encourage people to buy art online more regularly. His goal was to boost online presence and market share for artists.
The first step was creating user interviews. Creating the interviews helped me understand what the users needed; it turned out to be a very interesting process. I wanted to gain more in-depth insight into users’ behaviors, motives, and preferences when it came to buying and selling artworks.
