Pre Kick - Project Categories and Collaboration Tools/Apps

According to Kickstarter's website, this is how they categorize projects -

I think Pre Kick should stick with these 13 categories for projects also so there is consistency between Kickstarter and Pre Kick.

If you look at Hotwire's webpage (http://www.hotwire.com) you will see that they have a planning tools menu option on the right-hand side. If you click on it, it has a few tools that can help a person plan a trip. Even though Pre Kick is not a travel website, it can do something similar where it offers users tools that help them create projects and collaborate more effectively online.

Tools/Apps (which could help users create projects & collaborate) Pre Kick could feature on its website -

1. Color Wheel (good tool for designers and artists to have)
2. Mind Map (good tool for brainstorming)
3. Sketchpad
4. Moodboard
5. Post-it Notes (you should be able to grab little post-it notes and stick in next to work so other members in your team can see your notes)
6. Storyboard (film & video users can use this to layout their scenes)

I think these are sufficient tools for version one of the website, unless anyone has some other ideas?

Marina and Thuy - to look for design and layout inspiration for these tools you can just google them. There are a few apps out there. This page shows apps for a Moodboard and a Sketchbook - http://thenextweb.com/dd/2011/03/15/5-ipad-apps-for-wireframing-brainstorming/

Maybe you can download them to get a sense of the app design and layout?

Note: Just make sure Pre Kick's tools/app design and layout is a little different from the ones you find online.
