PhotoPerfectApp
Background

Do you have large, washed out sections in your photos? Frustrated with finding and capturing the perfect lighting? Photo Perfect App was conceptualized to employ a technology that combines different levels of lighting exposures to achieve perfectly lit images. Founder Steve Buice wanted the team to create a tool that allows everyday people with no photography experience to be able to take perfectly lit pictures with little to no effort, and without using the device's flash. The app design was a collaborative effort between a team of designers, researchers, and programmers in which they primarily consulted me for design and layout advice.

OVERVIEW

Project Overview

Project Goal: PhotoPerfectApp was envisaged so that users could take perfectly lit photos on their iPhones in any kind of indoor or outdoor lighting, without the use of flash or professional manual editing skills. In addition to taking the photos, the application also offered users a place to store and sort the images into albums.

My Role as UX/UI Designer: My main objectives were to create icons, wireframe designs, evaluate the navigation through micro and macro experiences for the primary interfaces of the app, and to assist the creator and design team with making informed design decisions.

Reflection

The biggest thing I took away from completing this internship was learning to work with the needs and desires of a client, and creating designs for the application concept that the project manager was most satisfied with regardless of how it aligned with my personal design style. It taught me a different kind of collaboration style outside of simply a team setting, but rather a more individualized dynamic. This project pushed me outside of my comfort zone as I had to reframe my usual creative approach and see things from different perspectives, and also encouraged me to branch out from the designs I usually produce.

Overall my experience designing and helping bring PhotoPerfectApp to life was a period of immense growth for me as both a designer and a collaborator, and allowed me to expand my scope of creativity to execute something not only I was happy with, but the client as well.

You've Reached The End!
