Interaction Research

Reflecting on popular social media apps, users of tablets are already used to simple photo editing and basic content creation (Instagram, VSCO, Snapchat). Common gestures include swipe, drag and drop, pinch and spread, and 2 point rotate. Sticker and photo editing apps were the closest in functionality to the proposed product.
