Digital Business Card, Feedback on Ideas - OUGD603

The feedback from the survey helped to gain an understanding of how the the public would engage with the app and how it could be used. People were wary of using digital means and worried about privacy and information hacking. Other stated that print is still necessary and it would be a shame to get rid of it. While people for digital agree with the fact the world is changing and digital may be the way forward. 

This has helped us to see how we can improve on our ideas and possibly integrate some security into the design. As we would not be completely developing and coding the app we will do the best we can to show this visually. 

These are a few comments left on our survey about the ideas of the app:


These comments were against using digital but not necessarily against this app.

"Print gives me confidence the didgital is very untrustworthy"

"The only thing that worries me is privacy but it’s inevitable that we’ll need something like this..."

These comments fit well with arguing against the comments above.

"Digital is the way to go"

"It's certainly an interesting idea and could make situations where it's hard to hear someone easier easier to negotiate - I.e introducing yourself in a nightclub without shouting in the other persons face. Also pre-sers for the information would be good so you can quickly select which information you want to provide."

"An app that allowed you to exchange 'business card' details would be great! I personally know that I would most likely loose a business card if someone gave me one, it's more environmentally friendly and it saves money!!"

"I think in the modern world everything will eventually be digital. It costs less because there is no printing or mass distribution. And although some will prefer the old style of sitting with a magazine or paper, I feel eventually everyone will be sat with an iPad or phone looking at the same texts etc with unlimited selections to looks at."

These comments were for print.

"Without Print, we loose the quality in what we do and the “touchy feely” nature to everything. Which in my opinion is very very upsetting. I love having physical photographs and prints."

"I think some form of print will always be needed - for aesthetic reasons and also for documents that need to be kept as 'hard copies'."

"The feel of a book is much greater than that of a tablet, in cases such as comics, the colectability of the print is much more of a selling point than the digital equivalent."
