Smart Albums, Suggested Memories.


This project looks at removing the burden of a repetitive flow in for any Photographer - organising their collection by creating albums or folders with their photos; Albums are very important to Photographers, as they represent a more curated space for their most important moments captured through photography.
Nevertheless, our user-led insights have surfaced album creation as a time-consuming task. Following those insights, we looked at opportunities to use computer vision and intelligent algorithms to create tailored and meaningful albums and present them to the user.


Experience Principles
  1. Surfacing — Discovering Suggested Albums should be easy and part of the User’s Album Flow.
  2. Saving — Users should select which Sugested Albums to keep in their Albums Collection.
  3. Relevance — Ensure Suggested Albums are relevant to the user.


The user journey was designed to be clear and consistent with the existing albums flow.
By navigating to their Albums tab, users can find Suggested Albums. These new album cards are highlighted by being positioned in a Horizontal Carousel on the top of the page, and by their size and different aspect ratio.


The user can then click on each of the cards to view the photos automatically selected for that suggested album; the user can then choose to  Save, Share, Create Photobook or Delete the album. This ensures that a suggestion is not forced on the user album collection, but rather individually picked according to each user.

“As a user, I want my collections of photos organised in a meaningful way because finding relevant photos and organising my memories into albums is painful and time consuming.”

Business Goals
