MUSIC PLAYING SIMULATOR FOR TABLETS

ABOUT PROJECT

In the time prior to the celebration of the Festival Presidente in 2014 which is the largest music festival made in the Dominican Republic and the entire Caribbean for more than 20 years, sponsored by the prestigious beer brand Presidente.

My team and I designed and develop the main channel for the registrations and prizes for consumers of the brand in promotional activities made in bars, nightclubs and liquor stores throughout the national territory.

CHALLENGE

The objective was to create an experience that will introduce the consumer to the environment of the musical festival by the start of the last phase of promotion in the media and points of sale, 2 months prior to the fest. The idea was given the opportunity to the client to interact with the brand within a period of no more than 3 minutes on each opportunity, including registration, and therefore it should be using a product that is highly intuitive and easy for the participant to understand so that their experience does not need too much time. Beside of that, depending on the performance of their participation he would receive instant promotional prizes.

A factor against was the development time, which was only 20 days to get a first version of the product working.

APPROACH

Exploring the trends of games and experiences in this time related to the music we discovered that the video games of music playing simulators like (Guitar Hero, Rock Band, DJ Hero, etc.) were already established and taking in mind the similar versions that will not need additional hardware to control it like guitars, microphones, drums or other peripherals specially made for this games.

Another important part was the registration of participants to expand the brand’s database, analyze statistics and gain more direct communication channels with consumers.

SOLUTION

We used the official jingle made exclusively to promote this event, we developed the idea of music playing simulator for iPads and will only need three touch points on the screen based on the existing similar games such as Tap Tap.

The graphics and concept of the event were adapted for this app, we also define a ranking system that at the end of each game would award a promotional prize if the participant achieved above a determined scale of points. In this way, the consumption was encouraged at the point of sale because each participation depended on a number of products purchased.

BRANDING

USER INTERFACE

For the development of the interface, I try to make it minimalist, easy to use, and that information about films takes the leading role.

RESULTS

RESULTS

The final product was a native application for iOS connected through the Internet to a CMS where all the records were registered, distributed the prizes by place and monitored all the events simultaneously. In addition to this, every week the client made raffles of tickets for the festival and this draw module was added to this central system of the application, greatly facilitating the logistics and data analytics.

Consumers really enjoyed these interactions and felt the music of this great event that is already a tradition for all Dominicans.
