What do prototypes prototype?
- Create prototype for audience
- Should show roles, implementation, look and feel
For my prototype, I would like to make a working prototype of converting a data stream into visual graphics. Specifically, I would like to work toward an Authenticity app and the fashion side of this. Though it is nebulous, I think by using sample data from Google trends and Twitter data I could compile the relative popularity of common brands such as Nike and Adidas by urban area.
By creating a focused data set and having set desired outcomes, I could work towards a more nebulous idea of assigning regional popular to various items using data scrapped from various websites. There will be the added challenge of having to backpropagate my data based on future sales releases and data from the aforementioned companies.
However, if scarpaing the data from Instagram, Twitter, and Google proves harder then expected (as they are tightening their APIs), I may also look into fake fashion writing by analyzing top fashion blogs and associated images and counterfeiting them. This coulld also be incorporated into taking pictures of viewers and spitting out a fashion/tablod piece on them.
