Problem:

The persona is an introverted and passionate reader who struggles to find people with similar literary tastes within her social circle. This leaves her feeling frustrated as she desires to share her readings, exchange ideas, and connect with others who share her passion for reading.

Solution:

To solve this problem, the character discovered the “Booker” app, a virtual community of readers. With “Booker,” she found a space where she could connect with others who shared her literary interests. The app allowed her to share her readings, participate in lively discussions about featured books, and discover new authors and works. In this way, “Booker” provided her with the opportunity to connect with an enthusiastic community of readers, overcoming the previous difficulty of finding people with similar literary tastes.

Context of the project:

The “Booker” project was developed at Cesar School, an institution recognized for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship. Its proposal was to create a mobile application that would engage book clubs and foster a community of readers. The main goal was to make reading an interactive and enjoyable activity. Innovative approach “Booker” brought a unique approach by combining gamified challenges, responsive screens, and an ubiquitous experience for users. This combination of elements made reading a more engaging and accessible activity. Gamified challenges In the application, users were encouraged to participate in reading challenges such as book reading goals within a specific period, writing reviews, and engaging in discussions on literary topics. These challenges were presented in a gamified manner, with virtual rewards, points, and levels that enhanced the sense of achievement and progress. Responsive screens The “Booker” application featured responsive screens, adapting to different mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. This provided a consistent experience for users, regardless of the device they were using.
