Grid & Carrousel Viewer

Recap's Main Screen & Viewing Experience

Feed

Designed to be a "social camera roll" with grid-style "Tetris" pieces of your friends' camera roll.

Viewer

A carrousel viewer experience, designed to stay true to the native Photos app interactions.

On Recap (TestFlight linked) users get a daily notification at the end of their day to share a collection of the photos they took that day.

The idea of Recap came after seeing people posting screenshots of their native camera roll on Instagram. Screenshotting the native camera roll brings a casual and non-chalant aesthetic for people. Recap is a play on this trend allowing users to push this aesthetic to a social experience every day.

From a design point of view the key insight I developed the user interface and experience around is: staying true to native camera roll interactions. Firstly, by using the grid view to share a collection of your daily photos: designed to be a “Tetris piece” of a user’s camera roll. Secondly, in the viewing experience, using the carrousel view, as well as a swiping mechanism, to quickly browse through someone’s day. The hope here is people would use this carrousel interaction to post multiple photos of the same scene to create a stop-motion like effect.

This is an unreleased project, and the goal of the app is to work its experience into Unfiltered.
