New Concept

After the second Super Crit, we decided that the best step forward was not to continue with our concept of developing a Shared Spaces solution, but to look into something entirely different.

This, consequently, lead us to turn in circles for a short while, feeling road-blocked as to where to go with the concept next. Then... we discovered an article that outlines the specifics of how doing good essentially contradicts every bad side-effect that is related to driving stress. The concept developed from there, with the opening of involving more of society in the campaign, with the opportunity to influence more than just our original target market. 

The findings that follow are those that inspired the change in our brief direction, which consequently led to the 'Give' aspect, and trade off from our points system to monetary value.
