3. About the
product
Instagram is currently a mobile application for people who
want to share pictures or videos with followers. It is
designed for quick, easy, on-the-go sharing with the ability
to comment, like and tag people in photos.

About the
project
!
To diversify its revenue stream beyond just advertising,
Instagram is a adding a new feature to it’s app. It will now
allow users to customize and purchase physical versions
of their photos.
!
In this case study we will:
• identify where in the app we will introduce this feature
• describe how people edit and customize their photos
for printing
• show a flow for selecting and editing photos
• show a checkout and delivery flow

Findings:
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:

the access for other users to print

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.

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