1. Learnability
   • Pros
     • Simple interface in terms of few buttons on home screen. This allows the users to know precisely what they can do.
     • Mosaic is catchy for the user. They are likely to hover over it with mouse, and learn more about its functionality. 
       • We need to use this opportunity to inform them in some way.
   • Cons
     • Some users might not understand the mosaic can move adding new pictures. Arrows try to convey this information.
2. Efficiency
   • Pros
     • Showing random pictures at varying sizes allows users to process a lot of data at once. Clicking on picture can get them to related pictures.
   • Cons
     • Overall process is geared towards browsing, which is inefficient if the user has a specific photo in mind.
3. Safety
   • Pros
     • Users are processing a lot of data at once, but it takes a click to actually learn more, not just a simple hover.
     • Pressing escape or clicking outside scope of sharing/larger view window goes back to mosaic (easy to undo mistake)
   • Cons
     • Pictures are close together for the mosaic and user could potentially click on wrong photo.
