The purpose of this project is to create a new high margin print solution that can be deployed to existing Kodak kiosks. This product is a collage creation application where a consumer can quickly and easily create professional looking collages using nothing more than their fingertips on a touchscreen kiosk. A consumer will be able to simply load their photos into the kiosk then crop, feather, rotate, resize, and position all of their favorite photos into a collage. Once the consumer is satisfied with their masterpiece, it can be printed just as easily as it was created.

Scaling first means less pixelsto handle for later transforms.Feathering last prevents theeffect from losing quality through other transforms.
Many prototypes for difficultand unclear features.
The split reduced risksinvolved in getting enoughdone under strict timeconstraints.
Weekly meetings with thesponsor provided constantfeedback.Three phased releaseshelped to get the userinterface to meet thesponsor's expectations.
