The initial idea was to find new and innovative ways to organise data. This then evolved into organising and navigating photos which in turn mutated into a new approach to photo sharing. Throughout the whole process there has never been one ‘big’ idea until researching future technologies and the future of the internet. Reading into web 3.0 or ’semantic web’ (as opposed to the current ’social web’) provided some insights into what may be possible in the future due to the restructuring of the information on the back-end of the internet.

Below is a mock-up of one of the concepts that is included in the final major project.
The basis is a JavaScript widget that users can paste into any web page that allows them to post that page directly to twitter with a tinyURL already in place.

Yesterday everyone presented for a formative assessment. What made this different fom normal was the fact that the work was graded as if it was the final summative presentation instead of giving an indicative grade as if the work continued in its current direction.
The presentation was helpful and provided valueable feedback about what to concentrate on and what to avoid.
The project is about photo sharing. The best ways to do it and what areas need to be addressed. The presentation uses Flickr as a base for example and comparison but the principles and concepts that come out of this will hopefully be able to be used by any sharing site.

So I need some feedback. My website name needs to be changed as well as my YouTube to allow for design consistency but here is the preliminary design.
The cards are double sided. Read more…
