Branding
A digital archive for Flickr Foundation that proposes a new visual narrative of a place by also offering photos of people, objects, and experiences.
Background
March 2022, our client posed us the question: how could the Flickr Foundation archive the immense collection of photos on Flickr for the future?
To answer this, our team focused on the key term of place.
Currently, the dominant visual definition of a place is represented by contemporary buildings and streetviews. Searching different images of a place, it was hard to find photos communicating the place’s culture or memories. But photos on Flickr did.
Key Features of Flicker Through
Views
There are three different views of the map: pins, photos, and icons.
The icon view also allows more diverse visual representation of a place beyond well-known landmarks.
Timeline
The timeline feature allows users to visually compare the historical evolution of a place through the lens of buildings, objects, and people.
Missing Photos
The geolocation of photos is a key element in categorizing the vast collection of photos on Flickr. As not all photos have geolocation data, the Missing photos feature invites users to find the right ‘place’ for these photos.
This project was created with Maya Osaka, Iseol Hwang, Vivian Van, and Yueyue for the Flickr Foundation at Goldsmiths, University of London. My role included UX/UI design, concept, and film.
