Prompt

"Twitch communities are made up of diehard fans who learn about their passions from many different forms. Live streaming is one way to tap into knowledge, but how can this sharing become truly omnidirectional? How can someone share a baking method from a French cookbook with someone specifically seeking how to bake macarons? How can someone share a brush demonstration scene in a documentary with another seeking the specific painting technique? In other words, how can communities help each other connect the dots between multiple sources?"

solution

With Palette, users can document progress, create ‘Collections’ of content, and share with others. There are few softwares that support collaboration for digital painting, graphic design, and experience design. Artists can unite in real time through a cloud-based canvas, ‘My Palette’, that supports simultaneous digital art making and streaming with ease.

Furthermore, users can access modules that offer detailed art lessons across a variety of topics. Through the ‘Explore’ and ‘Categories’ pages, users may filter content and discover new voices. Palette also supports emotes and live chat features to further foster community between artists and viewers. Our platform enables users to access high quality art content in a space designed for interacting with fellow creatives — bridging the worlds of streaming, art, and education.

Takeaways

This project taught me how to collaborate with another designer under a very tight deadline. It was really fun to have a ‘hackathon’ experience as a designer, and I learned a lot about how to create more complex systems, such as education and streaming platforms.
