Declan Gibbon: Exchange of sources with Declan Gibbon. Some of the information shared by him has supported my previous conclusions and motivated to continue with this project. Additionally, I’ve participated in his survey. This wasn’t as helpful to me as it probably was to him, as his survey was more focused on South African/African art and fashion and not general eco-shopping.
Shanti Du Rocher:
Suggestions by Shanti:
- Data Literacy
- My survey was used more to figure out psychographic traits
- Can use Google Trends for geographic metrics
Google Trends notes:
- Related entities
- History of trending topics
- Specifically after covid
- A peak in a line graphs might be connected to a specific thing like news
- Add square value – Time has a weak correlation with trending eco products
- Boohoo – ware house
- Inconsistently interested in it eco products in UK
- Anything that helps make eco shopping easier is a justification for why it is needed
- Make a comparison for different countries where there is a peaks as well
- Which brands are people interested in
- Compare brands which one is are most popular
Reflection: I found both peer-2-peer exchanges very helpful. Declan’s suggestions were great sources of qualitative research about secondhand shopping while Shanti’s google data research idea gave me a rich way to understand more quantitive factors.
Me giving suggestions to Shanti:
Shanti asked me, due to my Illustration background, which of the line graphs would work best as information representation for the creative teams. I suggested to look at the comparison charts as those I believe are the most informative and beneficial for the topic discussed, as comparison creates an illusion of choice. Shanti agreed, that limiting choice was something she wanted to use for this project.
