  1. Does proximity matter to the fashion design process? FBID Proximity Judy Chang Lola Feiger Mike Shyu Crowd Sourced City: FINAL REVIEW December 15, 2010

  2. Clients

  3. Firm Profile

  4. Prototypes -Google Docs -Different iteration of codes -Different version of how to send the qualitative data, through twitter and foursquare. -Study length and size -Initial Google latitude study

  5. What we decided upon: Google Latitude {supplemented with} Text messaging

  6. Text Message Codes and address every 2 hours to XXXXX A-admin FD-design work MD-media MFG-manufacturing R- retail S-social events SH-showing SM-sampling making O-other

  12. Texting Breakdown

  13. Sewing Breakdown

  14. Participant Feedback -Wanted more codes -Wanted longer duration to track ebb and flow -Google Latitude was not tracking properly -More users -Proximity mapping was the best way to generate data -Technology was easy to use after the setup

  15. Communication Errors -Clarity of instructions Project Scope Limitations -Sample size -Timing of project -Direct access to contact -Codes chosen to represent fashion movements Technical Limitations -Google Latitude -Text Messaging

  16. Is this Crowdsourcing? -Data mining versus crowdsourcing -We provided the technological tools for the fashion designers to produce their own mapping data -Controlled study creates an artificial situation -Too much technology involved that created barrier to making it totally crowdsourcing

  17. Future Directions -Streamlining the process via technology choice -Increasing participation and greater incentives
