Week 8

Flickr

This weeks lab activity involved using the Yahoo based site Flickr for this week's topic: Managing Visual Social Media.

Firstly, I signed up for a Flickr account in order to complete this week's activity. I followed the instructions given to complete an advanced image search on Google to find sample photos which were free to use and share. I decided to download some pictures of UCD campus, without any students in them to avoid any potential privacy issues. I then uploaded these photos to my new Flickr account.

It was then time to organize and label my photos by giving them titles and descriptions and organizing them into a set. I also tagged my photos with some simple and relevant tags. Here is a screenshot of my editing in progress:

I edited each photo by assigning them Titles, Descriptions and Tags in order to organize my visual media more effectively. I then proceeded to upload my 8 photos to my Flickr account.

I enjoyed using Flickr and although I do not have too much interest in Video Social Media platforms, I would consider using it if I wanted to organize photos online. Here is a link to my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/131981386@N04/sets/
