We are students from Swinburne Design Factory, Melbourne, Australia, partnering with META and ProjectProject to research new retail distribution models, with emphasis on consumer behaviour relevant to brands in textile labels. The impact of digital technologies in retail, such as the use of apps, social media and e-commerce and their impact on business models, brand awareness and sales will be explored.

The link to the survey is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q7NX5JY

The survey will be open until January 14.

We appreciate your help greatly!

Hei,
Tervetuloa ensi torstaina 4.12. klo 9:30-10:30 katsomaan visualisointikurssin tuloksia Design Factorylle!

Kurssi toteutettiin projektina, jossa neljä opiskelijaryhmää osallistui kuvitteelliseen kilpailuun, jossa he suunnittelivat ja toteuttivat opaskartan Otaniemen alueesta ja teemakarttoja DF:n sisätiloista, käyttäjäryhmänä DF:lla työskentelevät ja vierailevat henkilöt. Tehtävään sisältyi myös vuorovaikutteisen digitoteutuksen ideointi.

Ehkä näitä karttoja voitaisiin näyttää myöhemmin Urban Cavessä, tai ehkä näiden pohjalta syntyy ideoita yhteistyöhön. Ensi syksynä kurssi joka tapauksessa toteutetaan uuden projektitehtävän ympärillä.

Terv. Paula
