Needs and Opportunities

Explain the problem you have noticed that needs to be solved with a project like yours. This is also your hook, so make sure you grab our attention.  When im not having a very good day, I go on instagram or snapchat and see artsy pictures and it makes me feel better, idk why but it just does. And I hope when people are on my blog and see my pictures, it gives them that same feeling.

Audience / Clients / Users

Explain who will benefit from your project. How will you be able to access them for an empathy interview?

Product

What is the actual product you will show this spring. This project may be made of atoms or bits, but you must have something to show. I’m not interested seeing a bunch of great ideas at the end of the year. I want to see things.  I will the showing the best photos that I take.

Reality Check

I am looking for moonshots here, but even moonshots need budgets. What equipment are you going to need? What other capital expenditures do you anticipate, and how will you meet them? I will need a camera or my phone. And at the end I will need something to print my pictures out.

Conclusion

Wrap it up. Why are you fired up about this project? Inspire us to support you, and give us a great reason to approve your project. I’m excited about this project because I love photography and taking pictures. It makes me feel better when I’m having a bad day and I hope it makes everyone else’s day better too!
