Design Seminar Assignment 4

Social

Jamie CohenProfessor Klinkowstein


I want to create a new social media app that is user friendly to both adults and kids. Since Facebook’s population now mainly consists of adults, it drove kids away from it. Also, Twitter now mainly consists of kids so I want to create an app that will combine the two interests of adults and kids in it.

This app will bring the interests of adults and kids into one, making an innovative app.


Proposal for an Innovative Business



It will combine the apps Twitter, Instagram and Facebook into one.



It will have themes that can relate to adults and kids such as common trends between the two.
