Design brief

Help people who keep a scrapbook turn their own photos into stickers so making a page feels like real paper.

01 · Brief

Photos, cut out and stuck down.

I wrote the brief for scrapbookers: from a photo to a placed sticker in under a minute.

02 · Directions

Three craft tables.

I had agents build a journal desk, a cutting mat and a torn-paper collage.

03 · Prototype

A prototype from photo to page.

Clickable on a phone: pick a photo, trim it with scissors, then peel and stick it.

Safe, loud, then bare.

Checked against

16

test questions from the sprint, which I answered myself, with no skips.

From an empty page to a hand cut.

What worked

  1. 01Torn paper and tape gave it the most personality.
  2. 02A guided scissor line kept trimming by hand.
  3. 03Peel and stick works with a drag or a tap.

What I’d change

  1. 01Design printable sticker sheets alongside the page.
  2. 02Time how long trimming ten stickers takes.
  3. 03Quiet the collage where photos need the room.

Next: Inkling.
