Software testing: Using Flipsnack

Here we took in class demonstration how to create a flipbook using Flipsnack website. The main idea here is that we are testing this software to see how we can could potentially use it on my Wix.com website.

At the beginning I converted three photos from jpg to pdf using Adobe Acrobat. An image in pdf format is necessary to create a photo book.


First, in order to create a photobook in Flipsnack, we need to load pdf documents.

It is a very simple and intuitive tool. After uploading the pdf files, a photo book is generated.


Flipsnack has tons of editing options. We can add our text, we can add more photos, we can add a video to our virtual book. We can even add charts and frames. We can reposition our images and crop them however we want. Undoubtedly, this or a similar tool will be helpful in presenting my projects on my website. This is a great presentation tool.


Finally, we can see our photo book. Unfortunately, the free version does not allow us to download it in all the formats we would like. The free version of this tool only works for 14 days. However, there are many other sites that are similar.

  1. Good that you posted this. However, you haven't posted the end result and haven't explained the technical process of how you converted the images from jpg to pdf.

Researching the following artists related to my main project

To do my project  "The Sad Story about Littering" , I decided to look for inspiration among interesting photographers who deal with artistic photography and typical street reportage. Due to the fact that I have to make a street story in the form of a photo book, the inspiration of the artists discussed below seems right. Henri Cartier-Bresson  He was a French photographer who was born in Chanteloup, France, on August 22, 1908, and died in CĂ©reste, France, on August 3, 2004. Henri Cartier-Bresson was a passionate street and reporter photographer. In a special and poetic way, he was able to capture the right moment in a photograph. His works are appreciated all over the world to this day. Movement is very important in his photographs. He photographed in black and white style . In my story, I would also like to use black and white photography as a form of communication. By capturing the right moment, I would like my photos to come to life and be more interesting for the...

Ideas Generation

My project stems from my frustration. I often cycle around Leicester City. I love nature and I love being outdoors. What scares me is a lot of rubbish lying on the streets. I often see young people throwing garbage on the street. This is a common phenomenon in the UK. I do not like this. Rubbish in Leciester is everywhere. There are even plastic bottles floating in the canal. This problem needs to be shown and people must be made aware of the great evil they are doing. I have visited many countries in my life. I have a comparison to, for example, Switzerland. It is one of the most beautiful and clean countries in the world. Being there one feels at peace and is happy. My idea is to create a virtual dramatic photo story. Where the main character dies, overwhelmed by the fact that there is garbage everywhere. The title of my project is "A sad story about littering" Pexels.com

Software testing - Adobe Lightroom

I am using Lightroom in conjunction with Photoshop. Adobe Lightroom is a program used to organize the work of a photographer. It is also a great editing tool. W can also prepare in this program photos to print.We can import, manage, organise, and find our  photographs with the aid of Lightroom. In contrast, Lightroom is a product that combines photo management and photo editing. For me the most important advantage of this program is that I can catalog my photos. Everything is orderly and clear. Below is a video with basic lightroom features. Below is my example of using lightroom. At the beginning, on the left side, I chose from the top bar: File - Import Photos and Videos. Then, as in the Youtube video, I chose the photos to be edited. I downloaded the pictures that interest me. Then I played with the sliders on the right side a bit. I got rid of the overexposure in the picture. I added some textures. I didn't have to do much with this picture because it was done correctly. I...
