Our Product Through research, Ashley realized that a physical product connected to an app would be the best solution to the problem. As Ashley researched her competitors, she noticed a few similar products on the market consisting of a glass container with a lid that closed automatically, and a timer that would close the lid and extinguish the candle in certain increments of time. However, all of these products were not very aesthetically pleasing, consisting of one plain design, no connection to an app, ultimately not allowing its users to have much personalization. In order to incorporate this into her product, Ashley’s candle holder will have options to change the light colors of the glass, and the ability to make the product into a fish bowl, moon, or soccer ball. The end product prototype was created using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Once the product connects to the app, it would provide the user with the ability to extinguish the candle away from home, as well as set a timer for how long they would like the candle to burn for. The app would be divided into four parts- the home page, customization page, motion alerts page, and article page. On the home page the user can see a preview of the candles that are currently burning in their home, with the duration of how long the timer is set for, and then previews of trending articles about burning candles. On the customization page, it shows a full view of the candles burning, with the option to click that candle, and customize settings such as setting a timer duration, the product light color, chimes, volume, and the ability to view motion alerts. The motion alerts page allows you to view all motion alerts from the past and present and the ability to clear them. Lastly, the article page allows the user access to read full trending articles from various blogs. 17
