Premise: A twitter-esk website where users predominantly post about alien sightings or occurrences.

Boiled down sight ideas

During the design proccess we came up with a whole bunch of ideas on what we wanted the site to be. In the end we settled on two ideas, one an "Alien sighting" blog, and a "cupcake vs muffin" blog. We went with the former of our absurd ideas but I do hope one day we will come back and realize the latter.

Settlying on a thematic overview of the blog came the hardest part, the name. I wont bore you with the details but in the end we decided Reallien was the name we would go with. Though AlienRWithus was a close second.

Profile Page: Picture, Bio, posts, lastactive.
