Artist Dashboard + "Art Hearts" + Artist Summary
(Not sure where the best place for this topic would be - any help transferring is much appreciated)
After working across a spectrum of industries and experiencing a great deal of success on Twitch after a short period of time working as a live stream digital asset Artist - I feel there is an opportunity to further support the Artists who contribute so much to a community's voice and live stream engagement with an “Artist Dashboard”.
This Dashboard should be designed to provide the data necessary to help develop an artist’s sense of self-worth and the overall value of their art. In a fast-paced digital environment that is often quick to commodify art and forget an artist – this dashboard should work behind the scenes with the Artist to show their contributions across the entire Twitch platform.
The Artist Dashboard should ultimately be designed to allow for an Artist to quickly send any potential customer their “Official Twitch Artist Contribution Summary” for a verified review of their work.
Based on the same emote analytic system currently in use, the summary can include: usage, popularity, and even a customer rating system – where messages could be submitted from verified customers to post on the summary as highlights.
The summary could also include some type of “Art Heart” system – that allows regular users to send some love to the artists whenever they felt some artwork was excellently designed, placed, etc. (Often, I have found – streamers are so happy with the art – but they don’t know what to do.. so they post a “Shoutout” in their chat to my Twitch channel.. but – I’m an Artist and I don’t stream. This does nothing for my channel.. or for me as an Artist - and viewers feel awkward about adding an artist {who doesn’t stream} to their “Follow” list – What started as joy ends up feeling awkward, sad, and kind of cringe). This “Art Heart” concept could also work along the same lines of the new “Anonymous reaction” system for streamers – providing data about when an asset spiked in interest and appreciation. This “Art Heart Rating” could be a valuable asset for Artists whose work is doing wonders for streamers and their communities on Twitch.
The goal here is to convert artists into having a home base on Twitch. As of now, there is no reason for me to hang around my account on Twitch as an Artist – and yet, there is SO MUCH I want to do!
I understand this is just the tip of a complex iceberg I know will need to be developed even further. I feel this post is already very long – and I have a ton more ideas~ so I’ll end here for now.
I welcome anyone to post anything else you may like to see in an Artist Command Center like this.
And please feel free to reach out with any thoughts – and/or for collaborative discussion.
Let’s make Twitch even MORE amazing for Artists!
