Lecture Post 3

My entrepreneurial idea is to create an application that allows a user to have original outfits created everyday. The outfit is created using the photographs that you as the user upload to the application from your closet. The app also takes into account the weather for the given day, and what type of outfit the user wants to wear.

After learning how to use Photoshop after this week’s lab, I realized what creative things you can do to a certain photograph. You can change the color scheme to photos to make them brighter, as well as change the color from shades of blue to red. You can also edit the picture to be clearer, crop an image, or enhance the photo. As an editor you can also add text to the image and move it to where you want.

With these editing tools you can do many things to the photographs of the outfits that the application creates for you. For example you can change the color of a certain top. By doing this you can see what the outfit would look like if you bought a shirt in a different color. By this it allows you as the user to have more options and see if you should purchase an item in a different color, and know if the colors look good together. Also if by knowing how to use a cropping tool, you can see articles of clothing separately and not just view them as one outfit. You can then try and mix and match these images to create your own outfit using ideas that the application originally thought of. You can use the cropping tool as a type of a puzzle, by comparing different outfits.

Photoshop can also be used as another type of storage for photographs. A perk to using Photoshop is that it saves your photos in the cloud. Your outfit photos being saved in the cloud guarantees that they will never be lost. Having a log in and account through Photoshop means that you can log onto any computer to access your edited pictures, and for any reason if your phone were to be erased, or a computer was to crash you would never loose the outfits because they are stored within the cloud!
