A Letter of Love to Flickr… Part 1

I love Flickr.

I always did. I pay for Flickr. I respect the rules on Flickr. I got in contact with amazing artist via Flickr. I keep in contact with friends far away and next door via Flickr. I print my business cards with Moo via Flickr. I blog about art I find at Flickr…

Okay in short i am in LOVE

I am not a social networking type. Not in the real world, not on the internet. I start to enjoy twitter though…but this is another post.

I am usually critical of most internet hypes and interaction website designs. Most internet services make me just mad and angry… very angry… even most of the ones I am involved in ^_^…

So why Flickr?

Now – other than in the real world where I always fall in love with the wrong guy – there are many good reasons to love Flickr.

The team behind Flickr manages to provide a service which actually knows what it does and does it very well. You store and share images.

Graphic design

The design never gets in your way and never tries to outmatch your content. It even makes your content look better.

Just think about how fantastic – and rare – that is. And while doing this it preserves one of the best and most significant brands online, with just (a quite small) logo, 2 lead colours, typo in one font, black and white and shades of grey.

Easily done? Try selling something like this to one of your clients (or mine).

Interaction design

You never have to search for action buttons. They are there just above your content. Titles and descriptions can be added directly. click > edit > save.

The complexity of the tools in use grows with the complexity of the task, as does the interface design. “Organize” (working with hundred of photos) uses a very different interaction design approach and language than any other page.
