Tutorial 7: Thinking Design
The following is a mini pitch deck for an app idea. Furthermore, steps 2-4 and 7 are from the MindSea blog.
#2, Your Story: In our younger years, my twin sister and I would start an artwork and pass it to each other for gentle evaluation and input. However, this input consisted of a new individual who drew something unique and unconventional (to spice up the overall piece of art). It was always exciting to see each other's reactions, colors, drawing styles, etc. and at the end of the drawing process, we would always have two sets of pieces that surpassed our imaginations.
#3, Your Value Proposition: This presumably new and inspiring application will be for anyone looking to draw and collaborate with artists of different styles, experiences, and interests. As such, when browsing through artwork to contribute to, you will be exposed to pieces from your own neighborhood and neighborhoods across the ocean.
#4, The Pain: One artist may be absolutely terrific at drawing face shapes and expressions, but how about bodies? How about shading and coloring? Feet, perhaps? With this application, artists can collaborate to help and learn from each other to complete unique pieces.
#7, Your Product (Application Description and Prototype Screenshot): This application will allow for multinational artists to collaborate on art pieces (provided each artist has a drawing tablet and a stylus OR simply a smartphone and a stylus). So far, the application cannot support the collaboration of multiple artists in real-time, i.e., only one artist can work on it at a particular time and plans for a story-telling/writing version of this application is in the works (hypothetically, of course).
