The Three, Free Photo Apps You Need for Social Media!

If Facebook and Instagram act as indicators, it’s clear that people love using social media to share photos. But face it- a lot of people manipulate photos to make sunsets more colorful, skin clearer and vertical pictures square. See how they do it and more with these best photo apps, which are free to download!

 

1. Aviary

For free, users can edit photos in all sorts of ways. Of course there are traditional capabilities like brightening, sharpening and enhancement, but Aviary also suits more superficial needs. Users can whiten teeth, fix blemishes and correct red eye . Or, people can enhance photos based on subject matter with different editing tools for food, landscape and people. Overlays also act as fun filters to layer specific shapes on top of photos (like a circle, diamond or cross). Once the picture is ready, users can save the edited download or directly share to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, GroupMe, email or text.

2. Image Sizer

Can’t get a picture to fit perfectly within the Instagram square frame? Image Sizer will automatically take any picture and squeeze it into a square shape with white backdrop. From there, users can choose a colorful or patterned background (and after rating the app users can download additional options). People can also fit multiple pictures into one frame or add a shape on top of the photo. Lastly, users can select filters offered by the app then share to Instagram, Facebook, email or text.

3. Google Photos

After investing time for photos to look polished with Aviary and fit a correct frame with Image Sizer, make sure you can save and find them later with Google Photos. With unlimited cloud storage, you can access your photos from any device. But it’s difficult to find one photo in thousands… until Google’s visual search. Even without a text description, a keyword can locate photos (think sunset or ice cream). Then make your photos come to life and make gifs, interactive stories, animations and more! Finally, Google Photos also offers editing and sharing.

screen322x572-3screen322x572

screen322x572-1screen322x572-2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that’s it. Delete the rest of your photography apps (besides your social media ones!). With these three apps, you have every editing, sizing, sharing and saving possibility in the palm of your hand.

Makeup Artist Success Stories on Social Media

How can a makeup enthusiast from “small-town nowhere” go from occasionally posting videos on YouTube to becoming a makeup artist mogul?

Shayla is a Los Angeles-based makeup artist who has gained 1 million followers on Instagram, her own exclusive false lashes sold by FlutterLashes, and a series of popular online make-up classes. She is slaying the game, and in fact, has her own hashtag — #SlayLa, a play between her name and the slang “slay.” She uses her Instragram account as a platform for sharing information about her online classes and inspiring make-up looks but also her fashionable outfits and workout routines, which results in a well-rounded account that has diverse content for many types of users to engage with.

Angel Merino, also based out Los Angeles, has started his own makeup line called Artist Couture which is bolstered by his online fans. Angel is a believer in rocking his own makeup looks, which makes his glowing face certainly stand out. He is known for his extra-glowy contouring skill that result in air-brushed-esque perfection. Angel uses social media to stay connected to his fans, give them personal updates, and sassy videos. He is the king of Instagram video editing, which draws in a lot of attention; a well-edited, fast but informative makeup tutorial is a perfect way to catch users attention and satiate their curiosity about how a certain look came together.

Open Platforms, Open Networks: The New IP

It's time to move to the future. (Sponsored post.)

The Snapchat Feature You Don’t Know About

So maybe your Snapchat score tops 50,000, your friends worship your remarkable doodles, your geotags track your travels, your money transactions utilize ‘Snapcash,’ and your selfie has been seen by thousands on a local (maybe worldwide) ‘Our Story.’ However, there’s another feature, right under your nose and on your screen, awaiting your Snapchat talents.

‘Discover’ allows media platforms to show their content to Snapchat users. CNN covers breaking stories, Comedy Central shares clips, ESPN uploads sport highlights, etc. Since ‘Discover’ was released, the brands have worked within their comfort zone. But lately, some media brands have been having more fun with it, particularly Snapchat and Cosmopolitan. These two brands consistently make templates that can be sent to friends- all you have to do is press, edit and select contacts.

 

11291847_10153364016436667_335401492_n

11304344_10153364016421667_1951345649_n

These templates have channeled Taylor Swift and Beyonce, asked funny questions on drawing canvases, shared entertaining quotes to allow Snapchatters’ creativity to blossom. Friends can send this new content through the Snapchat ‘chat’ window to break up the string of selfies or other mundane material. From there, receivers can view or save the image then access the full story via Discover with one click.

11329588_10153364016456667_1592949045_n

Other brands use the feature more straightforwardly. For example, users can press and hold an image on ‘Discover’ to share the story directly with friends. But the brands that engage with users, through these funny templates, will likely have more ‘Discover’ interactions.

Remember, ‘Discover’ is a business platform. Brands can feature advertisements and push sponsored messages. However, to sell the ‘Discover’ capabilities to clients, the media brand needs the number of views to make the advertising price worthwhile. These templates show the personality behind the brand more playfully than sales messages. So while these templates still work toward a business goal, users can enjoy the ride.

11270085_10153364016431667_1799412956_n

How else would you like media brands to interact with people on Snapchat?

Lessons from the first few weeks with the wearable.

What is the future of social communication?

AIM/Chat = past.  Texts and Social Media comments = present. 

It is amazing how technology has evolved and improved over the years, but the curious amazement of it all is the speed with which our mode of communication has changed. Honestly speaking, not even the so-called “experts” can accurately map the future of communication, if the past and current rates of technological evolutions are anything to go by. At best, they can guess and speculate.

What is the future?

One cannot help to imagine how much improved communication & technology has changed our lives and transformed communities and businesses within a very short span. However, this doesn’t mean that the present form of communication, i.e., text and social media comments are the best. Sometimes we still struggle to understand what one is saying – it’s hard to pick up on tone and meaning in comments/text still. One of the questions you might ask yourself is: what is the motive of this text/comment?

Without going into many details, the future of communications will most likely involve deeper levels of interactions to take care of intrinsic meanings. How this will be done is not yet very clear, but there are clues. Already, there are prototypes that are designed to help us express ourselves more remotely.

There is some light at the end of the tunnel…

A good example of the next era of communication is Apple’s Smart Watch, which will allow users to do things like feeling another person touch the screen as well as feel the heartbeat of another person while communication. Another example is being poked on Facebook.

iwatch-features

If you currently think that being poked on the social media is annoying, a time will most likely arrive when you will actually feel someone poking you to sit up straight. In other words, the future of communication will try to make as much use of telepresence as possible.
