Gamestepper is an upcoming social network for art and design students. It focuses on organizing users around their art and accomplishments, and on creating local communities. I was approached by Gamestepper to draw up a set of features that would comprise an excellent application. I then made some mockups to show how various features would work together. Gamestepper is an ambitious project, involving forums, content management and light social networking features.
The Solution
The work at Gamestepper is ongoing. My design for the interface and the server side technology call for a Symfony application to drive a frontend built on the lightweight Ext Core framework. The client’s wishes here are for a subdued interface without a lot of flashy features. Instead, a few slick, well-executed interfaces for navigating art and the users behind that art will keep the emphasis on user-created content instead of shiny interfaces.
