Prototyping on Lambton 2

In preperation for this day of prototyping Hi-Fives, we purchased $3 white t-shirts from Savemart and wrote hi-five on them with a black sharpie. We then made our way down to Lambton Quay to get ready. We got started by hi-fiving people walking down the street. There was not as much hesitation this time because of prototyping before hand. I was rather surprised at how many positive hi-fives we got from alot of people. The shirts did make a difference as it gave people more security on why we were hi-fiving them. The shirts also helped in making an insight for the day. We were just standing there discussing our day of hi-fiving and a large group coming from parliament walked past, saw our hi-five shirts and hi-fived us while we were just standing there not offering them. A similar thing also happened at the beginning of the day but I think that guy just fancied us and thought the hi-five was a good approach. From this we did another lot of prototyping, where we stood there and offered hi-fives and we recieved alot more this time. I think it was because people had more time to read our shirts, think about then decide for themselves if they wanted to be hi-fived. We thought standing there in make us look like a charity asking for money, but our assumptions were wrong. I enjoyed today and thought it was very successful and gave us some ground breaking insights.
