UX/UI Case Study
BRIEF
GoPro is a popular action-cam used by millions of people to capture their adventures. The current mobile app is only good for three things - to look at photos people have taken on their own cams, to edit those photos and to look at photos other people have taken around the world. For a camera that’s changing the world, this app is admittedly dull and doesn’t push the envelope. The aim of this project is to develop a mobile experience that appeals to the millennials and stands out amongst the photo environment today like Instagram, VSCO cam, snapchat, Tik Tok, etc.)
PROBLEM
Solo travelling culture and documenting ones life has increased significantly in today generation. While going on these experiences more and more people are opting for tools that enable them to capture these memories quick and easy. GoPros portability in size and weight pushes people in wanting to buy the product. THE PAIN POINTS: ▪️ Dull ▪️ Doesn’t appeal to millennials or today’s generation. ▪️ The current app has no concrete “Home Screen” or menu navigation to quickly view & go through everything. ▪️ The average user isn’t super tech savvy and needs to be a spot that is easy to edit.
Solution
HOW TO ATTRACT MILLENIALS: The target market for the latest GoPro app will be millennials.
