The Problem: Unreliable Photo-taking Experiences

Whether you're an influencer, model, tourist, or just enjoying a day out with the family, the struggle to get the perfect picture is all too real. Handing your phone to a stranger, waiting to review the photos until they've been taken, and reminding the person to send them to you can be frustrating and time-consuming. PreVue solves these problems and makes taking pictures fun again.

Solution: PreVue

PreVue is a game-changing app that connects your phone to the photographer's device, allowing you to see what they see in real-time. With PreVue, you can now:

A/B Testing

We brainstormed on a couple of different UI/UX options for the main shop screen. We then A/B tested the different screen options to determine which provided a better shopping experience, while also measuring which one created a high add-to-wardrobe rate.

Design Thinking

Design thinking is crucial in app design and development as it prioritizes the user and promotes a problem-solving approach. By understanding user needs, app designers can create intuitive and engaging experiences. Design thinking encourages iteration and agility, allowing for early feedback and continuous improvement. It fosters creativity and innovation, enabling designers to generate unique solutions.

Market Share Opportunity For PreVue

The market share opportunity for an app like PreVue will depend on several factors such as the size of the target market, the level of competition, and the effectiveness of the app's marketing and distribution strategies. However, given the potential target markets mentioned, PreVue could have a significant market share opportunity.
Tourism is a large and growing industry, with millions of people traveling for leisure each year. Additionally, there is a growing interest in photography and social media among all age groups, which could attract users from the influencer and online personality target markets. The app's ability to help users create high-quality content in a few shots could also appeal to amateur and professional photographers.

The level of competition in the market is an important consideration.
