The ability to print a picture on site has lost a lot of its appeal since what people really want to do now is share their photos with online friends. Racine, Wisconsin-based designer Evan Jardee has an idea, though. His Polaroid redesign combines [immediate sharing with digital technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujifilm-instax-mini-link-3). Check out some images of the Polaroid redesign in the gallery, and see more from Jardee on [his site](http://evanjardee.tripod.com/home.html). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Digital Instant Sharing:** Opportunity to create cameras that combine the immediate sharing of photos with digital technology - **Hi-tech Fashionable Photography:** Opportunity to design fashionable and technologically advanced cameras - **Integration of Digital and Physical Experiences:** Opportunity to create products that bridge the gap between digital and physical experiences ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to develop innovative cameras - **Fashion and Design:** Opportunity for fashion and design industries to create stylish and technologically advanced cameras - **Social Media and Technology:** Opportunity for social media and technology companies to develop cameras that integrate seamlessly with online platforms ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernized Folding Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nextstep-sx100.md) - [High-End Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-i2.md) - [Nostalgic Camera Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now1.md) - [Designer Camera Printer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-trance-camera.md) - [Nostalgic Computer Graphic Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrospekt-and-polaroid.md) - [Recycled Plastic Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-now-generation.md) - [Retro-Inspired Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-flip1.md) - [Low-Light Instant Camera Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-go-camera.md) - [Chunky Retro Instant Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polaroid-flip-instant-camera.md)
