Flickr Is Dead | Thomas Hawk

Can’t say I disagree with Thomas. Unless Flickr makes some adjustments to recognize how pictures are being taken and shared of late, they’re done. The iPhone 4 is their most popular camera, and has been for ages. Apps like Instagram offer a more interesting community and ways of manipulating pictures while Google+ and Facebook (sorta - don’t like the latest theatre view, but their upcoming mobile photo sharing app looks promising) offer a better sharing and storage experience. I can’t think of any meaningful improvement out of Flick in the past 5 years.  


A Presentation Done Entirely Within Instagram

Jason McCann, my colleague and VP/Executive Creative Director at TAXI, recently spoke at a conference on design and decided that he would do the entire thing within instagram. It obviously misses a lot without the videos and his narration, but you can get a sense of what he did going through the pictures. A nice way to change it up a bit.
