Prototyping Process
Started from a grand idea.

rationalise
our plan in order to be make it in the weekend.
We created mind maps, system maps and posters to aid our prototyping.Slide11

We went out to the Union to ask a few people what they thought of the idea of the Walk-in Wardrobe…
Mini-surveySlide13Slide14
Stats
71% of people said they get bored with the jumpers they wear week-by-week.
Only 43% of people said that they do share clothes with friends.
Though
77% were interested in using Walk-in Wardrobe
.Slide15
Becoming real…
Things to do next:
Setting up a society in the University Union (support services can be useful initially)
speaking
with a fancy dress shop about dealing with
clothes
rental related issues (wear and tear, people not bringing clothes back, etc.)speaking
with the union charity shop about hosting the initial Walk-in Wardrobe eventsspeaking with
the Leeds University Union Fashion Society about a potential partnership, as
they host similar events (DIY clothes workshops and clothes swap
)
We
would turn to the NUS green fund for some money to buy jumpersSlide16
