In the autumn of 2008 students at AHO conducted a 5 week investigation into NRK Urørt. See more student projects.

Ingrid Alice Clausen investigated a large re-design of Urørt, both on a visual and a more systemic level. She implemented more social features and looked at how to make the content more scanable and browsable.

Ingrid writes:

When searching or browsing for new music in the Urørt sites, the content comes across as all but glanceable and easy to keep on top of, much due to the sheer amount of it. In order to enhance the ability to take in and process the information given in the event calendar, the redesign made use of clear distinguishable colours to symbolize genres and increase the level of intuitiveness for the reader and identity for the content provider.

Particularly interesting is the use of color to annotate audio-content, making it instantly recognisable. Every tune is given a color based upon which genre the tune belongs to, opening a wealth of interesting possibilities.
