Some background

A heritage brand, looking for an injection of speed and agility.

In 2013, Eastman Kodak Company created a spin-off business–Kodak Alaris. Kodak Moments, a division of Kodak Alaris, is a global leader in consumer photo printing, offering photo products and services to retailers, consumers, and entertainment properties.

With the knowledge that today's markets are constantly changing, and a determination to hit new financial goals, Kodak Alaris came to frog to meet those challenges head on.

How might we claim more space in an evolving industry?

The deliverables

An innovative concept, a journey map, & an executive prototype.

We designed an end-to-end experience that allows consumers to preview a variety of home decor retailer frames with their own photos, then preview those in their space.

The current state of photo framing and printing is shown along with MVP and future state experiences in the journey map we delivered. Key features of our concept reduce drop off and create moments that matter for years to come.

The goal

A killer concept to capture wallet share and unlock board funding.

Through concept validation, we needed to pursue a new direction for Kodak Moments. It should include a consumer journey and development-ready screen designs that leverage home decor partnerships to center solutions as a service. It should include an implentation roadmap to enable Kodak Moments to successfully bring the concept to the market.

“One of my favorite ways to decorate my home is with photos, but it's a complicated process that's hard to get right.”

— Consumer insight

Process

User flow variations & concept wireframes.

“The biggest challenge is visualizing it. You might have a good idea in your mind and then you try to execute it and 3 of the ones I hung up are crooked.”
