Stover - Social Media

For my social media campaign, I was thinking of doing something that incorporates music, design, and social interaction. I’ve always been big into electronic music and that scene has been exploding for the past few years. I want to create an app that allows bands and artists to choose to participate. By participating, the bands would upload their logos in vector format to a database linked to this app. By joining and participating, bands agree to allow their logo be used for designs. Designers can use the bands logos they like most, and make wallpapers, hats, shirts, posters, etc and put them up for sale. The app would produce a watermark on all the designs until purchased.

So it’s almost like a way for people to make designs for the bands they love and then sell them and get feedback . The phone app will be linked to a facebook app, so people can link their facebook profile to their profile on the design app. If it blew up enough, bands could support their designer fans by linking the public designs to their store pages, bringing revenue to the people creating designs.

I think this is a good idea because the show scene is exploding for electronic music, and people love cool design work associated with it.

I’m really passionate about pursuing this idea as it’s something that I would like to pursue in real life if I get solid enough ideas.

I already make posters and t shit designs for some bands, but it’s hard to make money off it legally since you can’t just sell designs using bands’ logos /copyrighted work. By incorporating the bands into the equation, this  would give the bands an opportunity to thank the fans by giving back to them like we did to support the bands.

My two mediums would be a phone app for droid and OS X, and an app for facebook linked to the phone app.

This would only help to promote the artists by allowing much more user-generated  content to be deployed.

I was also thinking a website would be necessary because then people can search through all the design works linked to the app by searching under categories like tshirts, posters, wallpapers, etc. This whole idea in general would only promote artists and allow general designers to make some money off doing what they love for the music they love.
