Target Audiences:
The targeted audience is adults between 18-55. Anyone who enjoys music and concerts will love this application.

The biggest obstacle will be to make this app general enough so that it doesn't go off in too many directions. We simplified it by sticking only to musical events.

People will be more aware of musical happenings.

Support Statements/ Reasons Why:
The concerts will have better attendance rates and people will be more aware of shows going on in their area.

Week 8 Reading

This weeks reading was about iOS Human Interface Guidelines. The first tip to remember was to make sure the design works well for the interface which you are creating it for. People can tell if the application appears to made for a particular phone, so designing for that particular screen and type of phone is key.

Next you need to have a clear idea for whom you are designing the phone application for and what features it will offer. You app needs to be concise and can't go off into a million different directions. 

Your app needs to have a consistent design and all little details need to be looked at to make sure everything blends together. The phone applications needs to include all necessary technologies; such as voice over or printing. Finally, all apps need some sort of their own artwork.
