For the critique we asked for specific things to be included in the presentation so before designing the presentation, I wrote up the areas to be covered in the presentation.

Problem Statement

It has been proven that international students struggle to adapt to a new place, make friends, language barriers, and integrate with people in the new place, making them more likely to drop out.

Vision Statement

A social media app that pairs an international student with another student who is studying at the university. The main features would be language exchange, buddy system, events, and sharing with others.

Brand

When it came to the branding I included the word mark, colours, and fonts.

Research

I was unsure whether or not to do a key research page like the other class critique so I created one just in case it was needed. I did this by looking back over the areas I covered in my research and pulling out key information from them, below you can find the key information and where they came from.
