The Open Forum

Abstract

In today’s social media everyone is looking to see “who” you know and “what” you have done. In doing so we ultimately prejudge others and determine those we favor and dislike before we even exchange words. The goal of this project is to create a place(s) for individuals to socialize, network, and connect within a localized network of individuals without the preconceived notions of the other individuals before starting a conversation. Rather than taking the path of using the numerous of tools which help you create such web spaces, utilizing templates and pre-designed themes the project will be a learning experience into what it takes to create and design one myself.
