Poetry is a uniquely mobile form of literature, packaged perfectly for today's mobile lifestyle. TRŪBADOUR aims to take advantage of this to make poetry more personal, more connected, and more empowering through a social writing platform for poets.

We focused on two key themes for the design:

Poetry packs meaning into compact, meaningful words concisely, and the user experience should honor that by being content-focused except when absolutely necessary.

Poetry gains power from poets' personalities and the network of readers and writers around poets, and each reader brings his or her own tastes and interpretations. The platform should feel personalized, fitting to each user's taste and style with versatility while acting as a unifying force that brings the diversity together.
