LootSoot — HyperVibes Phase I Comp

This proposal marks the beginning of formalising my contribution to the working R group at Rarible DAO by retroactively proposing compensation to phase I of HyperVIBES.*

–

HyperVIBES was materialized out of a fever dream—to explore unchartered territories and challenge the boundaries/status quo of NFT platforms. It is a proof-of-concept to empower users with the freedom to get boldly creative with their own NFT projects, thereby throwing open the floodgates to a cosmos of possibilities within the web3 ecosystem.

See the [scope section] for a general overview of work contributed thus far or [skip to the Rationale section to learn a little more about my background].

*Note: I understand this is a special case discussed with some team members; in the future, I will be making proposals ahead of time to avoid retroactive payments.

Future Contribution (HyperVIBES & Other Projects)

This section is purely for full disclosure and transparency to the R group and the DAO.

Though this specific proposal is only for retroactive payment for phase I of HyperVIBES, it also potentially signals continuing contribution towards the success of HyperVIBES and other projects within the R Group.

After this proposal, there will no further cases of retro payment,; Moving forward, my future contribution will require approval ahead of time—

If I choose to continue to contribute on a per-project (part-time) basis, I will write a new proposal per these standard guidelines: [R Group Basics] If the R Group realizes the absolute need to transition my contribution to full-time, I will write another proposal to kick off as a prospective member (via 2-month trial) per these standard guidelines: [R Group Basics]

Scope & Contributions to HyperVIBES Phase I

As the sole designer of HyperVIBES, I wore many hats that would traditionally be assigned to respective designers (Brand & Visual, Product, UI/UX, Motion/Animation, Creative Direction)

At a high-level, Phase I, the MVP, was realized and executed in the same way I would any other design deliverable through these three exercises:

• Discovery and Research
• Conceptual Design
• Detailed/Finalised Design

Visual communication and brand experience

• Defining the visual language, look and feel
  • A solid week of explorations and multiple design directions to speak to a fresh perspective and narrative—Rejecting the tired cliché of Space, embracing the escher-like romance of discovering interdimensional unknowns
  • Logo & Logotype explorations
  • Type Treatment
  • Color Palette
  • 3D & 2D Artwork and animation

Landing Page/Website (Pre and Post App Launch)

• Create an immersive, light yet digestible landing page to direct traffic to the HyperVIBES App
• Interaction & Motion Design
• Icons & Visuals
• Coordination with front-end/full-stack engineer Zak to build and illiterate
• Provide input on concise, engaging, yet comprehensible language/content strategy

HyperVibes Web App - MVP

• Using Zak’s initial wireframes as a guiding light for a focused MVP, create a ux-friendly experience to accommodate these actions
• Entering the experience and choosing their path
• Create Realms
• Infuse tokens
• Claim tokens
• Browse/Explore
• Basic sharing
• Viewing existing realms and NFTs within each realm
• Define engaging experience w/o taking away from the utility
• Error States
• Confirmation

Misc

• Marketing content & assets
• Note that not all work/designs was executed for this Phase I due to team bandwidth and the need to keep scope focused as an MVP.

Proposed Compensation

The following numbers are reasonable and conservative based on two considerations—

Market-competitive flat rate based on a multi-layered scope, expedited turnaround and 8+ years of experience in multiple design touchpoints References/Literature:

Start-up Branding - see link in google doc

UI/UX Cost - see link in google doc

Website Design Cost - see link in google doc

Calibre and delivery of Phase I MVP—the expedited work for a fairly polished proof-of-concept was comparable to that of a lead product designer - (see link in google doc)

Scope (Market-Base) Phase I (~4 weeks; Oct 19–Nov 16) Visuals/ Brand Exp/ Artwork / Animation $2000 Landing Page Design $3300 App UI/UX $5500 Total $10,800 Total Compensation asked: $10,800 in ERC-20 stablecoins, (preferably ETH at the time this proposal was finished on Nov 18 at 9AM PST)
