First idea

First, we bodystormed our ideas with our peers to test-run our products and services. This is my first idea for a service that helps students make new friends. This was drawn after bodystorming.

Second idea

Second idea for a service that helps students make friends.

Third idea

Third idea for a service that helps students make friends. This is an idea primarily created after bodystorming and ends up being the service I choose to continue with.

Continued editing

I continued with the idea of a service for queer students to make friends. I decided to have the service focus on queer students doing any activity rather than just playing pool. I also made it for all queer students instead of just women.

Storyboards
