COVER EDITOR REDESIGN
For SimplePrints App
Restructured and redesigned the cover editor flow to accommodate more cover design variety and features for SimplePrints photo books and mini books
Overview
SimplePrints is a mobile app that allows users to select favorite memories from their photo library and create printed photo books easily
Problem
An increasing number of users were unable to see photo cover layouts with collages and title placement options as the features were not easily discoverable in the process. There were also limited selections for font color and styles. As a result, some users have uploaded photo book covers created from other platforms while others had printed covers with hard to read title text due to limitations on title font color options for different photo background colors.
GOAL
Restructure and enhance the photo book cover making and editing experience by providing cover styles and options in the beginning of the process
