Customer Discovery Research
Based on my topic, “Japanese hip-hop info media”, I conducted customer discovery research. This process included creating a user persona, a customer profile, and potential user interviews.
The short interviews with 10 people about the project’s topic confirmed the need of the development
Competitive Analysis
To check how competitive the chosen space could be, I conducted the competitive analysis. The process included an interview with a professional Japanese rapper, Rau Def, and research on potential competitors such as Genius, HIP HOP DNA, Abema TV, FNMNL.
The findings from the analysis supported the need for development of user-centered Japanese hip-hop media website.
Prototype Development
To start creating a high-fidelity prototype of the basic functions of the website, I considered the user workflow of the basic functions, and the storyboards that support those key features.
The prototype is limited to the basic functions but gives the grasp of the whole website.
