Security

Allowing others to print shared photos may be enough of a
security concern to drive some users away. Settings need to be
clear and customizable.

Opportunities identified:

2. Default Settings: restriction of 

the access for other users to print
user’s photos.

1. New “Print” option in Settings.

User research

Print icon should be in an obvious place.	

Check out flow should function like a hub.	

Saved pictures should be accessible for
future use, so that Users can tag pictures
and refer to them at a later time.	

Push the User throughout the 

checkout flow.

Need easier access to project history.	

Further engagement through tapping on the picture
- not looking below picture.	

Is Brand willing to change new design of hiding
header in feed to stay static so user can see
interaction with print icon.	

Is there a bridge between home, print and purchase
part of app -hamburger menu?
