Mock Application for Established Regular User Interaction with Proposed Paintr Application

I. Oeriew
A! "his progra# shall be used as part of a sales pitch to de#onstrate a t$pical user interaction
with the proposed %ocial &etwork and Art'%haring application Paintr
(! "he oerall Paintr application shall be pitched as a serice rese#bling "indr) but
incorporating the functionalit$ for users to share) criti*ue) and collaborate on arious artistic
pro+ects. "he end goal is to create a platfor# that is as usable for both dating and artistic
collaboration) or an$ co#bination of the two.
,! "he application referenced in this docu#ent shall be known as Paintr -e#o. "he
application is intended to si#ulate an e.perience that a user with an established network of

-! Paintr -e#o is not intended to be a full$'functional application) but a proof of concept for
the co#ponent/s! fro# Paintr that are distinct fro# other %haring0&etworking applications.
