Native Shoes x City of Vancouver: An Experience Design Proposal (3/5)

This was presentation #3 out of a five-week long project that illustrates an experience design proposal for a client collaboration between Native shoes and the City of Vancouver.

Our design consisted of video (shown after the "sit back and relax" slide: http://vimeo.com/54747032), audience engagement, and web elements incorporating CP+B's design approach and Hugh Dubberly's Experience Cycle into our process.

Our theme was: "Overlooked Truths". It served as a guiding light to our design as we wanted to reiterate and re-emphasize an aspect of both the brands that might have been left unnoticed by an audience.

Presented by Patricia Bernal, Michelle Lee, Marissa McMillan, Gracelle Mesina, Ronaldo Pagaduan, Daniel Suzette

2. N Our project is a quest, designed for native shoe customers, so that they can explore vancouver.
3. “Native shoes is footwear for anybody, anywhere, anytime.”
4. The City of Vancouver's mission is to create a community that cares about its people, its environment, and its opportunities to live, work, and prosper.
5. “In a lot of ways, I think all of our shoes celebrate aspects of Vancouver that I love. Vancouver is a city with four seasons, and we have created silhouettes with that climate and those elements in mind. This city is also filled with people that might go from their office job downtown straight to Kits Beach or hit up the local mountains in the winter, and that type of versatile lifestyle has definitely influenced the brand.” - Van Zyll De Jong (founder + Creative director)
6. To reintroduce vancouver to its locals by featuring undervalued or underrepresented locations. To emphasize Native's brand message of: “for anybody, for anytime, and for anywhere” goals INSIDE THIS BOX IS THE READY TO FIT A SIZE 9

10. Why the video We chose to do a video because we felt it was the most effective way to illustrate the experience that we are trying to create for the customers of Native while also showcasing the diversity of overlooked places of Vancouver within the video. Videos have the capacity to exhibit Native's product in action on the different terrains in Vancouver. On Native's’ website they have playful videos to promote their shoes and in making a video to kickstart the experience we are remaining consistent with their brand. Why the website The website is the ideal channel for our project because it increases the accessibility of our content and can provide multiple touchpoints such as providing a method to upload their pictures, displaying the pictures that the customers have submitted and providing information about the project's initiative/goal
