OUGD504 - Design for Screen - Idea Generation

I began my idea generation by looking for a gap in the market for a new app idea. Buzzfeed had a long list of app ideas that people wanted making a reality:

“There should be an app where you enter the book you are reading, and it gives you a playlist to match the plot, so your books have perfectly executed soundtracks, just like movies.”

“An app where you put in what you like to do and it gives you a list of things to do when you’re bored.”

“There should be an app where you can take a picture of what someone is wearing, then it will find where it’s from and you can order it in a click!”

“An app that creates Instagram captions.”

"Shazam for perfumes.”
“An app that deletes your number from other people’s phones!”


However it turned out that many of these apps already existed or lacked substance. 

This is where I switched my tactic to thinking of a problem that needed fixing. This is where I came up with a service that made house hunting for students easier and more fun.
