The final major project has taken second place to the current collaborative project 0 Wallpaper but it is about time for an explanation of what it is about.
The theme is data organisation and navigation which has been focussed to digital media and so far has been limited to the online environment.
For the presentation today the media selected was images and portrayed as ‘the life of a photo’ and a side-by-side case study was conducted for Picasa, Flickr and Facebook with regard to uploading and editing.
Post-it notes show what features each site has so common themes could be established. This also allows for a contrast between them detailing the differences.
The feedback from the presentation suggested that the focus needed to be more broad and look at profiles of users of the systems such as a Flickr Pro user. This will refine what it is the project aims to look at.
The answer then is to profile a Flickr pro user and their ‘life of a photo’. What do they use Flickr? How do they use Flickr? This is the approach that needs to asserted before the project can enter fully into detailed analysis such as what was presented today.
