GR1 - Project Proposal and Analysis

User analysis

We have identified five main user classes.

1) The Social Photo Sharer -This user class consists of tech-savvy individuals who take a lot of pictures and like to share them with others.

2) The Photography Hobbyist -These users are those who take pictures either professionally or as a hobby and want to store and organize their photos online.

3) The Casual Computer User - This user class includes people who are more inexperienced with computers. They also want to stay connected by sharing and viewing photos of friends and family.

4) The Batch Photo Browsers - The Batch Photo Browsers are the friends or followers of the Social Photo Sharer. These people want to use our website to browse the albums uploaded by their friends.

5) The Singleton Photo Consumer - This user class is made up of people who are sent a link to an individual photo and come to our website to view it. They do not necessarily know the owner of the photo they are viewing.
