INTRODUCTION
Stained glass is a glass that has been colored during its manufacture. The
colored glass is crafted into stained glass windows in which small pieces of glass are
arranged to form patterns or pictures, held together by strips of lead and supported by
a rigid frame. Painted details and yellow stain are often used to enhance the design.
Stained glass is a combination of art and a craft that requires an artistic skill to conceive
an appropriate and workable design, and the engineering skills to assemble the piece. A
window must fit exactly into the space for which it is made, must resist wind and rain,
and must support its own weight. The design of a window may be abstract or
figurative; may incorporate narratives drawn from the Bible, history, or literature; may
represent saints or patrons, or use symbolic motifs, in particular armorial (Wikipedia,
2017).
According to Jennie French, the importance of designing for stained glass is the
artistic and style. Finding sources for inspiration can be as simple as walking down the,
street, looking through a book, or taking sides of things that please you. An imaginative
mind can make use of reflection in water, the cubist paintings, machinery, or
architecture. Sources for ideas abound in everything that touches the senses.
Customers now want unique, custom and personalized items. Research has
shown that users, who interact with products, designing them and personalizing them,
are far more likely to purchase them. Consumers are now expecting product
customization, and forward-thinking merchants realize the need to satisfy this growing
demand for choice. Customization can be as simple as letting your customers choose
their own color scheme, or as personal as letting consumers add their name and
favorite color to an item. Product customization is one of the best tools to understand
what your customers want (Net Press, 2017).
According to Aviv Canaani (2016), technology is gradually evolving and apps are
part of that. Most people have smart phones today, so apps are easy to access and
simply make your life better as a result. There are millions of mobile apps and
businesses are using apps to improve their processes and increase the level of their
customer. The point of a mobile app is to seamlessly connect and interact with
customers, making it a valuable tool for the modern business.
A new trend these days is to create photo collages. These are collation of several
images into one single photograph. These are very popular. Instead of developing
several pictures, you can pour in all memories in just one image. The best part about
creating collages is that all your favorite can be accommodated in one single picture
(Harsh Agrawal, 2015).
Photo collages are one of the most popular photo editing entertainments on the
web. There are over a dozen of Android photo collage makers: free and paid, with
different number of collage layouts and photo effects, with manifold collage saving
options.
This is the reason why researchers proposed the REGO Stained Glass Creator
App, it has a feature that customer can create their own design which is advantage for
both owner and the customers, because creating original designs for the stained glass
is the backbone of the company. Some problem that is frequently encountered in
creating designs is the dissatisfaction of the customers when it comes to the detailed
and specific idea of what they want to be added, but with the customization, customers
can be more satisfied because they have a freedom to create and edit the designs that
they wanted. And also, the company can easily visualize the costumers idea as well.
Creating mobile application for REGO Stained Glass Company will change their
manual creation of designs into customized and personalized designs, increases more
customers, less time consuming and costly with the help of REGO Stained Glass Creator
App.
