Based on the rapid prototyping prompts, I made three prototypes.
The first was something that can be used by more than two users at once, so I made a game with digital and analog versions. Digital would function sort of like a words with friends type of simultaneous play app. Analog could be a card game where the seeds are cards.
The second is based off of the post-it “little mistakes”. So related to farming I thought of the little growing mistakes that happen to produce, making them “unsellable”. I created an instagram/social media contest idea to promote ugly produce. One is a competition for the ugliest produce picture plus what you’ve made with it to show that even if they’re ugly, they still taste the same.The second is a caption contest. Those ugly fruit and veg can have some pretty great shapes, so submit your best shot at being a meme sensation.
Third was based on the post-it “farm crawl” so I took that as an opportunity to make an app that would let you plan out a farming adventure of any kind. If you want to tour a farm, volunteer on a few farms, or just sample cider in your area farms, this is your app. I made some rough user flows as well.
