Travel Social Media Concept
I thought it would be a great idea to create a Social Media Platform dedicated to travelers. It would be a platform for travelers and travel enthusiast from all backgrounds and experiences to come together and share there visual stories. It was great practice thinking of all the different interactions I would want to have with the site. Hope you enjoy!
Project Overview
Research
One of the things I decided to do first was compare popular social media platforms such as (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snap chat etc). I wanted to get a feel for industry trends, most followed users and their content. Across all platforms I discovered some of the most followed accounts were travel accounts which lead me to wonder if users would use and interact with a social media site that catered to travelers.
In 2019, it is estimated that there will be around 2.77 billion social media users around the globe, up from 2.46 billion in 2017. Social network penetration worldwide is ever-increasing.
