Overview
Irista is Canon's cloud-photography platform. It keeps all your photos and videos together – in one safe place – and makes them accessible from any device to view, print and share. As lead product designer, I worked with the product team to design and build a new feature that allowed users to create photobooks.
Process
Research
We began by inquiring users about their experiences creating photobooks with existing products. Photobooks are often stories, such as weddings, a baby's first year, or holidays.
The book builder
I designed a programme of design thinking based workshops with the team to decide what features we'd need. We benchmarked existing photobooks and prioritised essential features.
Key features
Adding photos to the book, changing layouts, changing background colors, moving photos, zooming, adding text, and ordering the book.
