So, we got excited and we wanted to do it all, address it all and know it all. Introducing the Data Dumping wall. We read , searched , tried to make sense, slept off, had chai, tried reading again, slept off(again), got mind-fucked, ran away from the studio and helped each other stay not depressed and or insane.
We were initially looking into
- Psychology of Buying –
- why do we buy things
- what pushes us to buy things we already have
- why are there so many varities of a product
- what makes them happy ?
- Materials
- who makes the material decisions
- how is a material decided for a product what are the parameters
- does the product drive the material or vise versa
- what is the life cycle of a product
- how much and from where does a user get information ?
- Economy
- who makes the decision to launch a product
- when to launch the product
- who bears the actual cost of the product ?
So we started (randomly) dumping every word we could think was related,every topic, every word, every bit of information. We dumped it all. After almost a week of watching videos,trying to read books and talking, we asked ourselves, ” ok… what are we doing ? we are going through existing data and collecting them and making another set of data.For What? Are we just collecting Redundant data? what is our purpose of this project? what are we trying to achieve from it? what are we doing ?”
