Quirky Quilting Photo Apps

'Finger Quilt' Makes Photographic Quilts Using the iPhone Camera

— September 21, 2016 — Tech
Rather than taking basic, single-image photographs, the Finger Quilt app adds some surrealism to iPhone users' photography by allowing them to create quilt-like collages with their cameras. Available for iOS, Finger Quilt splits the camera's view into a series of tiles, and users can use it to capture images within each of these tiles one at a time.

Finger Quilt uses that name because, in the same way that quilts are several small segments that make up an entire blanket, the app makes several smaller images into one complete photo. To use it, collage-makers simply decide how large they want the tiles to be, then click on any tile to capture what is currently inside it. Then, that tile's image gets saved while the rest of the tiles remain available.
Trend Themes
1. Surrealistic Photography - The Finger Quilt app taps into the trend of surrealistic photography, allowing users to create quilt-like collages with their iPhone cameras.
2. Tile-based Image Capture - The use of tiles in photography is a growing trend, and the Finger Quilt app takes advantage of this by allowing users to capture images within each tile.
3. Photographic Collage Making - Creating collages from multiple photos is gaining popularity, and the Finger Quilt app provides a unique and user-friendly way to make quilt-like photo collages.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile Photography - The Finger Quilt app disrupts the mobile photography industry by offering a new and creative way to capture and create images.
2. Art and Design - The trend of quilt-like collages in photography opens up opportunities for artists and designers to experiment with new mediums and styles.
3. Mobile App Development - The Finger Quilt app represents an innovative approach to mobile app development, combining photography and collage-making into one seamless user experience.
