2.2. Customer analysis

Boom studio aims to provide an alternative path for the most talented graphic storytellers to
produce hits that will eventually find their way into lucrative media like movies and video
games. Instead of negotiating terms in a way that benefits traditionally dominant comic book
companies like Marvel, its goal is to give independent creators a more significant share of the
profits from all sales. Its purpose is to ensure that creators are compensated fairly for all sales.
If any want to get more specific, it wants to allow creators to see more of an upside.
Customers can buy and sell comics on the site, allowing artists to post their comics to be read
by others. Moreover, a proper questionnaire is formed which is to be filled by the customer to
help Boom studio in understanding the requirements of the customer properly. Thus, the
timely feedback collected from the customers, helps the studio to change its working
activities as per the demands of the customer.
2.3. Blick shared studio
Blick Shared Studios is a social enterprise that helps creative and digital startup businesses,
freelancers and small businesses by offering full service, creative, and affordable shared
space, facilities, and resources (Staff, 2022). As a result, Blick's workplaces are both

6
stimulating and encouraging in their ability to foster new ways of communicating,
collaborating and thinking, and being friendly and laid-back. (Staff, 2022). When renting a
property, the financial burden can be significantly reduced by providing reasonably priced
workspaces with leases open to negotiation.
Non-resident creative businesses can rent Blick Shared studios meeting rooms and event
spaces for a fraction of the cost of those offered to the residents of organizations. As a virtual
service, Blick’s provides small businesses and individuals who prefer to work from home but
want to project a more professional image for their business. Blick's virtual services can help
those businesses and individuals in various ways. There is a three-story period building with
high ceilings and original period features in Malone's Queen's Quarter, where recording
studios are located. Location: Hill Street, Cathedral Quarter, Belfast. Blick's Hill Street
Studios are located in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter, a hub for the city's artistic and cultural
community. An old storage facility was converted to an art gallery space to make room for
their studios. There were both Waring Street and Cotton Court in that area. As a former
cotton warehouse, Cotton Court office space is located directly across the street from The
Merchant Hotel, a historic landmark that has been renovated since 2002. It was renamed
Cotton Court in 2002 when the building was renamed Cotton Court. More than a quarter of
our office space is set aside for small businesses and creative startups. Eighty-one people are
living in the Ebrington area of Derry-Londonderry.
At the former Ebrington barracks in Derry-Londonderry, in buildings 80 and 81, there is a
coworking space called "Eighty81." More than 15 startups and small businesses in the
creative industries have access to private and shared office space through this facility. All of
the art supplies that we sell at Blick are guaranteed to meet the highest quality standards, and
the Blick-branded art supplies are no exception. With Blick supplies, artists of all skill levels
can find a solution for their needs. As a result of both our broad selection and low prices,
Blick supplies are an excellent choice for printing needs. We carry a wide variety of Blick
products, including paint, brushes, frames, canvas and more! Blick products are available for
purchase at the vault store. Utrecht Cadmium-Free Paints are a line of paints that we have
developed to maintain the high standard of quality that we have established with the company
Utrecht product line. Despite their improved colour richness, brilliance, and colour-spacing
uniformity, these paints do not contain Cadmium. While Utrecht paint was not initially
produced in Brooklyn, it has been milled and crafted there by hand since it was included in
the Brooklyn Made initiative. Blick is proud to be a family-owned business that has
continuously served artists since its founding in 1911 and has remained so since that time.

2.4. Vault artist studio

The Vault Artist Studios is home to a diverse group of artists from all over the world In
addition to being beekeepers and authors, all visual and performing artists, musicians,
puppeteers, photographers, and filmmakers. When vault studio took into an old Ulster Bank
building in early 2017, understood it would only be for a year or so. The rental agreement
spurred us to attempt something new and daring.
2.4.1. Group of creative individuals
At the core of what we do is a commitment to community engagement via the arts and
teamwork. In order for our creative community to thrive, this is essential. The aim of vault
studio creates an environment where people who work across disciplines may flourish
(n.d.).vault promote a cross-disciplinary approach to problem-solving and the sharing of
knowledge. These new and exciting opportunities allow our community to shine as a whole
and allow members to develop and grow their creative practices in new and exciting ways.
2.4.2. Locally based artists
Vault projects attract hundreds of people to venues through workshops, open studios, or live
entertainment. Each project is a one-of-a-kind experience that will stay with those who

8
participate (Vault Artist Studios | Safe & Sound, 2022). Vault studios have attracted the
attention of the public and the media thanks to their buzz of activity and creativity. The
security of the site is enhanced and decay is halted as we maintain and improve facilities
inside buildings that would otherwise be empty.
There is a direct correlation between stagnant spaces and economic deterioration, and
unoccupied buildings should not be left languishing in a state of disuse.

Events Price
Santa's Sooty Christmas

Fundraiser at park £10

3.0. Recommendation
Allowing artists to showcase their work or notions in an informal setting is the primary goal
of Show & Tell. The activities are also meant to provide the general public with a closer look
at the creative process. Over the day, a maximum of 10 artists will participate in the Show &
Tell. Boom studio provides their best. Artists can apply with new or existing projects. The
Boom studio project’s ambitions should be to help the children in building strong emotions
regarding social welfare to help the entire community grow and flourish at the same time.
The ultimate purpose of the workshop activities should be to give its students the best
possible instruction in both dance and practical life. Besides, in the current situation of
COVID 19, the organizers of the workshop should clean and disinfect the studio's widespread
interfaces to reduce the spread of the virus among the children and adults. Moreover, a
specialized instructor needs to be appointed who can assist the dancer in reaching the goals of
the workshop effectively. Lastly, the art and craft workshop needs to focus more on recycled
items to reduce the harmful effects of waste material on the environment.
