Connecting Cultures

Planning

My project is a free mobile phone application about cartoons. This app incorporates a scrolling bar in order to make massive comics easier to read for the viewer anytime, anywhere. The typesetting of scrolling bar for the cartoon is different from the printed comic books of before, which are completely suitable for the mobile phone screen. Without a landscape mode or enlarge it. All the people can upload their cartoons to the site, which will support the original comic and will give a classification and ranking list for these works. The project also will recommend the latest cartoon to the readers every day and give an update of the comic to the readers. The readers also can leave some comments for the artists.

Pixiv

A free membership is required in order to browse the website. Pixiv’s main concept is for users to submit their own art illustrations, which excludes most forms of photography, and creative writing can also be submitted. Users can participate in a social network where one can rate contributions, leave comments on art pieces, and change tags on any entry. Due to the flexibility of tags, users can start impromptu user-generated participation events where users submit art related to a common specific subject. Each user has a personal bulletin board system where other users can leave messages. One can also respond to images with another image, known as an “image response”. Images intended for an adult audience, or other images not suitable for children such as grotesque images, are separated from the other content through a filter which can be turned on or off via the user’s profile. The majority of contributions are of anime, manga, and video game fan art, or of original art, which resembles these art forms. The website’s global policy includes protecting the privacy of all Pixiv users, and refraining from posting others’ works, reprinting others’ works without permission, and advertising for commerce.
