What is the Plant Page?
Initial
Brainstorm
The Journey
Then & Now
Less cluttered
Modest
Focus on quality
• Visual
• User generated – one person or artist/rarely groups
• Photography based
• Search by hashtags
• Easily leads to other platform: can easily send through to Tumblr/Facebook/Twitter
• Limited access to users info – cannot message user unless an e-mail or website is provided. Must leave a comment on their photo.
• No website besides webstergram which is limited.
• Hard to screen cap and repost.
• Still the best for finding users who fit our aesthetic.
• Majority of user submissions found via Instagram.

• Not original work
• Not cohesive
Rule 2) The quality of the work and the quality of relationships
