Bloomin is a social media mobile app targeted towards plant-enthusiasts and lovers. Users will sign up and connect, share tips, ideas, and photos with like-minded individuals within the plant-loving community.
Research
We began this project by gathering inspiration from similar apps. We gathered the weakness’ and strengths to configure how we can implement these findings in our own unique way.
After concluding our inspiration we divided our design solutions and goals into three categories: Language, Options, and Status.
Language: The language of this app overall will be casual, as it is a social media application where people don’t have to worry about professional speech. However, our target audience is plant-enthusiasts, which means their vocabulary can get very niche. Most plant species have a common household name and a scientific name, either of which can be used among enthusiasts and professionals in the community. There are hundreds of thousands of plant species. There are also many terms that are specific to gardening and botany in general, like the names of types of soil.
