6. Gap In the Market
Ability for brands, retailers, and celebrities to
have direct engagement with their
followers and/or customers.
Combining User Engagement and
Gamification
People have tried to create exclusive
hashtags on other popular photo sharing
platforms, such as Instagram, but have been
unsuccessful.
7. The Solution
The app will give users a new subject every 24
hours (popular subjects or current events to better
pull in users when possible)
Allows target user engagement by allowing users to
also create subjects and have their followers upload
the content.
Organizes pictures based on subjects/topics
8. Closing the
Gap
What is happening now.
How PicSubject changes things for
the better.
1. Users can “like” a
photo, but not
comment.
Everyday people and even celebrities, like
Rihanna, try to start photo challenges, but
their followers mainly just “like” and
“comment” on the photos posted to start
off the specific photo challenge/subject
versus uploading content/photos to the
photo challenge she is attempting to start.
2. There is a specific tab
to view popular subjects
(by regular and verified
users).
3. Users have followers
and subscribers. Their
subscribers are sent a
notification every time a
new subject is started.
9. Daily subjects are
easy to identify.
Each user/follower
will be identified by a
photo and name. By
clicking on the user’s
name, you will be
taken to his/her
profile where you can
view the photos
he/she has uploaded
+ his/her number of
followers, following, s
ubscribers, and
subjects started.
By clicking on the
arrow, users can easily
find PicSubject’s current
and past daily
subjects, as well as view
the photos uploaded that
were associated with
each subject.
Users can “Like” or
“Favorite” a photo. Photos
that are marked as
“Favorite” will be kept in a
“Favorites” photo so that
the user can easily find
and refer back to that
photo.
Lists Popular subjects by
regular and verified users
