CLOSET
Closet is a thrifting app that allows users to find new thrift stores when they are traveling. Collect stamps from stores around the world in your passport. Add your finds to the virtual closet to keep track of where you got it, price, size, brand, and more.

Deliverable Schedule
-
I plan on going to thrift stores in Lawrence, and Kansas City and talking to the workers or possibly other customers there.
-
The problem I can solve is to make a easy to use system to find thrift stores in a new place, with details about the store like ratings, pictures, price range, etc
-
My niche audience is better off with my app because it will show more insights into the shop than a basic Apple or Google Maps would be.
-
I also plan on having some kind of picture booth at the thrift stores where people can hold up items they purchased. These pictures can be uploaded to the app each week to see recent purchases. This way people can get a realistic look at what the store may have.
-
Brand System? (Choose if I want the neobrutalism or something different)
