Since there already was a Type ID app I decided to take my app in a new direction. I want it to still be able to take a photo of typography and tell the user close to the typeface or the style. Also in the app a user would be able to pin on a map where he/she took a picture of it at and say the name of the font or family on his pin as well. This can give the app the ability to be ran just by the user. Kind of like Instagram and What the Font combined in one app.
Through my interviews I realized that more than just type lovers would use the app. I feel like It could become a competition or just a fun way to show what type styles you like. Most people said they would like to see the app and would be interested on how it can ID the font. But also, people really liked the idea of the social aspect that is similar to instagram. I think it would be a fun app, but also a way to learn more about the nerdy type world.
