Add Group/Album
| Pro: - Collapsible windows makes it easier to see all the albums and which group they belong to. It also makes it convenient to minimize groups you are not currently looking at.
- Adding a group has a very clear button on the very right.
Con: - Having some groups collapsed may give the user a notion that there is nothing there.
- You do not get sample of what pictures are in the album.
| Pro: - You can go into an album easily by clicking on the button for it. There will be an indicator of whether the album has been newly created and shared with you, or if an existing album has been updated. The groups that appear first are the ones that have been edited. The other ones will be collapsed when you land.
Con:
- Collapsible windows are not normally used on photo sites so this may be confusing to the user.
| Pro: - It is very efficient to add a group, add a new album to a group, or go into an album. These are all one click functions.
Con:
- The button for add a new group takes up space, making the main window smaller. Thus, this may increase the need to use the scroll bar.
| Pro:
- It is very easy to undo mistakes. If you collapse a window, you can open it again easily. If you click on something, you can go back easily.
Con:
- It might be easy to confuse albums or to have a hard time locating one. A user may also create an album that already exists. This has to do with depicting album in list form rather than by giving a sample of photos.

Upload
| Pro: - You can view all the pictures in the album very easily here with a small sample.
- Uploading has a very clear button on the very right.
Con:
- You cannot view information about a photo. You do not know who added it or when it was added.
| Pro: - There is a very clear upload button, making it easy to know how to add pictures.
Con:
- The ability to organize the photos in an album by moving them around may be lost in this interface. We offer a way to view the album by the date it was added and by the uploader. However, we also want there to be a sense that you can move around photos when looking at the album order to organize what you have. That may not be intuitive to the user.
| Pro: - Again, upload is just a one click function, making it very efficient.
| Pro: - It is very easy to undo anything you click on.
Con:
- Given that this is a collaborative site, one person may change the order of the photos. This may be very hard to reverse if you do not agree with their decision.
|
View
| Pro: - Viewing a photo is very simplistic. You have the photo itself, arrows so you can move to the previous or next picture, and comments.
Con:
- Viewing a photo takes you out of the main album. Thus, there is not as strong of a scent of which album you came from. You also can't view the other photos in the album simultaneously.
| Pro: - It is very simple to move from one photo to another or to add a comment.
| Pro: - Having the previous and next button makes it easy to move to another picture without going back to the album view.
Con:
- However, this may be inefficient if you want to view the photos in a random order because you have to click on each photo to view it, return back to the album, and click on the next photo.
| Pro:
- Easy to go back to the album if you are not looking at the right photo.
