App Design Brief

We need a new UI overhaul for our iPhone place search app. The app, Vybe, is a personal mobile search platform that helps users find activities (basically places like restaurants, parks, etc) and make decisions by inputting their mood and factoring in other things (location, weather, time).

The basic idea for the UI is to have a simple home screen that is pretty bare, just a way to select your mood and then a button to search. Right now the mechanism for selecting mood sorta looks like Songza's UI: (http://goo.gl/MfKOQW), except the first row consists of 1. Smiley face 2. No feeling Face 3. Sad Face 4. Hungry Face, and after the user selects one of those, it branches down into a second row that goes into more in depth moods like lazy, adventurous. I'm not completely satisfied with this mechanism, and kudos to any other creative ways to select moods that you can come up with.

The next screen after the user taps the search button of course brings up the results, and the results screen should sorta resemble this: http://imgur.com/cxD0E80. Basically the top should have two boxes so you can change your original search query, and below that should be a table view displaying the places. The tableview can really be anything, but I like Hoteltonight's tableview, Ness' way of display restaurants, and http://imgur.com/knCgxIv.

The final screen, the detail view, should somehow display all a place's data, photo gallery, address, map, hours, ratings, etc.

The color theme I was thinking was salmon colored, but I'm open to all color schemes, as long as it is clean and iOS 7 themed.

*Note: If I like your design, there is a high chance that I will contract you for future work on the app (and others)

I forgot to specify the specific moods that we currently use, but here they are:

6 main categories with subcategories in each. It would be truly awesome if you could incorporate them somehow into your design. (I really like small icons/cliparts for the moods)
