Prologue

With so many customers moving to digital media The Big Issue plans to create an online marketplace where customers can purchase the magazine from a vendor of their choice. The Big Issue hopes that by moving sales online as well as continuing on the streets, the vendors will sell more and increase revenue for themselves. A large intention of this online marketplace is to help the vendors break misconceptions surrounding who they are. This platform gives vendors the opportunity to share pictures, stories, and other aspects of their lives with their customers. Our team’s job is to gather the content for this online marketplace, but we wanted to make it more! Check our full process narrative for how our project changed over time.

Below is a video created by Chelsea promoting the The Big Issue’s new online marketplace using the footage we gathered throughout our project.
