Research & development

LinkedIn is a social networking site for online professionals, launched in may 2003, it was mainly used for professional networking and Job seekers would be able to review the profile of hiring managers and discover which of their existing contacts can introduce them along with being able to build there own profile page. 

Mandy.com is essentially a 'film/tv production yellow pages' where you can search for producers, technicians etc from all over the world.

After looking into similar applications already out there, we decided we needed to adapt our idea. What we want to do is have the option for employers to post advertisements for jobs, where professionals can apply and also select weather they will be willing to be shadowed, therefore creating two different lists. Therefore we will no be targeting a wider audience not just students.

Moving on to think more into our logo design we wanted to look at more social networking sites...
Similarly to linkedIn all the social networking sites seem to have the letters or words within some sort of box or coloured icon.

We want to create a similar effect using a shade of blue, but also incorporating the chain links we liked.
