PROJECT 3: FLICKR

SKETCH #5: FLICKR

Flickr is an image sharing website, which focuses around images telling the story primarily. Both a full screen and thumbnail view is available when browsing through a person’s profile. These are key differences, as the narrative changes from being individual to being part of a larger story.

For example, by looking at the sketch as a whole (each image shown on one page), there are obvious thematic links between them, such as colour, character etc.

However, if they are shown individually, it appears as a more cohesive narrative, with a sense of direction and linking between all of the images. Similarly to a GIF, the lack of sound draws far more attention to the visuals, and the fact that each frame can be studied also adds far more information than video can, especially compared to a low quality web video.
