Create an application design that will revolutionize how we share ideas with one another!

The app will allow users to submit great ideas! A user will be able to create a profile, add ideas, comment on ideas, and rate other user's ideas.

A splash screen and application icon designed as part of this contest as well.

I want the design of the app to be simple and elegant. I want the process of adding a complex or complicated idea to seem non threatening and easily approachable by any and all users. I would love for orange and white to be the primary colors of the design, but am open for suggestions and other creative ideas from designers.

Since this application focuses on the content of the idea and not the user who submitted it, there will be no profile pictures associated with accounts.

Also the files I have uploaded are our company logo. These will give you a feel for our "style"

The following link will show a very basic work flow https://www.fluidui.com:443/editor/…G04WL9uSQh
(Please use the above prototype as an example of the workflow only. Creative freedom is encouraged while designing. After all, you are the expert here.)

Users will be able to generate idea credits by rating the ideas of other users. We will want to display this value to the user in an obvious way and also alert the user when they have accumulated another idea credit.

I expect the designer to be able to use fewer screens than provided in the workflow but my limited design knowledge made it easier to just create a separate screen for things like "Adding a new idea", and "Adding a new comment".
