A more detailed version of the story I want to tell. Why the collection matters. 

I pretty much started my airtable base, just didn’t put the images in. 
Julia
Topic chosen: The City of Shadow.
Airtable link included.
New UI/UX ideas included.
Needs feedbacks on any interesting visual effect suggestions.

Kashish
Based on the feedback, I tried to think more deeply about my collection and made it more personal. I also took the suggestion of representing my cultural heritage in more than just visual means. 

Need feedback on how I can tie the events together to make look cohesive.
Lara
The discussion last week really inspired me to think more deeply about objectivity and morality (in this project). My final collection will be definitions of truth. You can filter them trough length, date, etc., or look for keywords, maybe even have user submissions. It’ll highlight that data isn’t absolute or neutral.

I am indecisive between the two ideas which is exploring the city and the voice collection. 
- exploring the city.   I might filter time/seasons/the place I often visit or new place
-the voice collection I might filter age groups?

Some of the photographs of mine as an example, would mix them and do art directing along with other artists’ works on hands.  100 of hands would have different expression and outlines.
Gia
Photographs of love hotel rooms.
Luna
Photographs of people from all around the world during the pandemic, along with short stories associated to the photos

I chose my third collection idea (Infinite Blue: a collection of blue) because there is something interesting about the broadness and abstraction of a single color. When designing different ways of viewing this collection, I think the content will lend itself to more experimental design choices, likely straying away from the obvious inclusion of the color itself and leaning more towards meta concepts such as the cultural and symbolic interpretations of blue.
