Overall, this design follows the approach used by most photo organizing applications, including iPhoto, the iPad’s “Photos” app, and Facebook’s website.
Albums View
This view displays albums as a grid, with a thumbnail of a photo within the album and the name of the album. Tapping or pinching an album displays it in the Photo Grid view. Different albums are shown depending on the selected tab; currently the “All Albums” tab is selected, which displays both the albums the user has uploaded, and the albums all of the users’ friends have uploaded. The “My Albums” tab displays only albums the user has uploaded, and the “Friends” tab displays an album for each friend, containing only photos in which the friend is tagged.
Search

Tapping the “Search” field at the top right brings up the keyboard and a filter bar. The albums view does not change, but albums not matching the search terms are hidden as the user types. The filter bar presents four ways to search: by the name of the album, by the creator of the album (the friend who uploaded it), by the people tagged in the album (in which case the filter field autocompletes the names of friends, and multiple friends can be entered), and by all of the above properties at the same time. Note that searching for people tagged in the album displays albums with at least one photo with the entered people tagged; the user has to open the album and either scroll through the photos or re-enter the search to see just the photos of the chosen people. Also note that Search in the Photo Grid view behaves in the same manner as Search in the Albums view.
