Hang in There

Abstract:

We built an application that allows users to view a poster with a random, encouraging image, title, and quote, generate their own posters, save posters, and view and delete saved posters. This entails that buttons have functionality to switch between views. Users are able to click on posters to store them in the saved posters section, and double-click on saved posters to delete them.
