END
Ideation • Created several directions around the idea of photography.
Refinement • We validated our model making and sketches with CAD to achieve a product that represents the ergonomics and construction we have explored.
• 3 concepts, the idea to create a modern day lightbox.
• We used the cad data to prototype the model.
• Card modeling allowed us to quickly mock up the concepts and explore the different elements of the product.
• Finally choosing materials and finishes.
Design Tools Idea generation – this envolves sketching, sketch development, 3D ‘mock ups’ to resolve the idea.
Identification – distinguishing the problem space. (Brainstorming)
Thinking
Solution – finding a solution to the problem. (Brainstorming and evaluating the solution)
Communication
Communication – presenting the final concept to the client. This evolves visual communication of what the product is going to be like. This is done using imagery and descriptions pointing out the key selling points of the product .
Market analysis – looking at what appeals to the consumer. (Persona’s, talking to the consumer)

The Problem
Advancement in technology and the frequency that we use Internet has resulted in more demand on image capture; consequently the way we interact and view images has completely changed. We believe Lighbox brings these elements together by creating a tool that improves and consolidates the pre and post image capture processes in digital photography. Lightbox Process By ‘streamlining’ the pre and post picture taking process Lightbox shortens the photography process and increases productivity when a laptop might not be available or plausible. This makes it ideal for professional photographers in getting there photography to there clients quickly.
