Affinity mapping

User profiles

Initial ideas

First sketches

Final project

Travel buddy - a website and a mobile application that allows to download "travel buddies" and browse information about local area while offline. "Travel buddies" are user profiles created by other users online. The data from profiles is aggregated and used to list the services and places the most recommended by locals. The app is aimed at business travellers (smartphone owners).

Key points

• Offline data
• Being Smart -> (Location & Time, personal fav, etc)
• Present a popular recommendation right away, you can adjust your personal fav later
• Sort by Local popularity instead of showing every available options.
• REALLY SIMPLE - For lazy bastards who don't want to make decisions!
