Sketch: Image cut outs make interesting visuals
I know a few sites that displays cutout before going into an article. Flickr also displays cutout images of photos in a album format.The issue with cut outs is that if we pick at random a place to cut out an image, we risk the chance of picking a really strange area and or just a boring one.
Like for example we take a picture of a crowd of people dancing on the beach. Then we cut out the top right hand corner and all we get is the sky. It doesn’t do the full image any justice.
Facebook chooses cutouts based on the location of people-tags inside an image. A smart approach that doesn’t need any image recognition.
