BOERE RATE
APPLICATION DESIGN FOR 4I MOBILE
(INTERNSHIP PROJECT)
I had the oppertunity to work alongside an amazing team for three weeks at 4i Mobile in Stellenbosch, Cape Town. As an intern I was given a project to work on, where I had to create my own designs for a new application. I had to present my designs, wireframes and mock ups to the company in a presentation at the end of my internship. This was an amazing learning oppertunity and I ejoyed every moment of it.
What is Boererate? better known as a Boere raad. Boere raad is directly translated to Farmers tips on life. As an Afrkaans speaking South African I grew up with so many old, amazing & natural ways of resolving problems in life. Anything from getting rid of pimples, growing vegetables, fixing your car, cure for hick-ups,etc. I was fortunate to have been brought up with these fantastic tips and natural solutions, that I felt it was appropriate to design a social media platform, where people of today could share their grandpa and grandma's secrets. I created a platform which works similar to Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, where the user would create a profile and share their favorite ideas with the world.
Maybe your someone that prefers doctors and medicine, but I definitely would benefit from something like this. Not a book in a library I had to go look for, but an application with me at all times.
