- artist page has visualizations about future prices and interested friends
- friends page has visualizations about similarity
- allows you to curate friends (subtask)
- LEARNABILITY:** all the information neccessary is presented in the home page. All you do is find the visualization that you want (eg if you’re finding a concert click concert visualization, if you’re looking for a new artist, click artist visualization). The only thing that is neccessary to “learn” is that these visualizations exist, but seeing as this is the point of the website, it is safe to assume that the user realizes concertBOS has visualizations. It is also easy for the user to learn which visualizations exist, because they all appear in the same drop down menu
- EFFICIENCY** ConcertBOS is very fast because almost all of the information is presented in the home page. The only thing that is necessary to do is click on the right visualization (so that you can find what you are looking for), then click on the band/concert/friend that you are interested in to go to their page. All the information about this band/concert/friend is listed on their page, so there should only be two pages that any user needs to visit (the home page, and the band/concert/friend which they are interested in).

Scenario
We're covering 3 tasks relevant to musicians looking for concerts:
- find an artist to get inspired by
- find a friend to go with
- research the venue
Sparklepony is a vivacious young musician in the greater Boston Area. Lately, she’s felt like her work needs more depth and variety. She’s looking for something new and fresh to go to for inspiration, but
doesn’t really know where to start. Another issue is that Sparklepony is well aware that it’s important to go to concerts with a friend to have a lively discussion about the musical merits of the artist with while the experience is still fresh. She also likes having friends present in order to give her sanity checks and get another trusted person’s perspective on whether a given musical direction is a good way to go. Attending a few concerts seems to be the obvious place to start.
