If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine the conversations we can have communicating through images alone. Leading up to Adobe MAX—The Creativity Conference, we’re inviting the world to engage in visual conversations, an online gathering where anyone and everyone can participate by sharing images.
Each week, we’ll explore a different creative field: design, photography, illustration, and typography. Visitors to the site can choose from topics hosted by creative luminaries in the featured field. The hosts will kick off each conversation with a thought-provoking topic. Then, it’s up to you. Add images that represent your unique, local point of view. By liking images, participants can inform the final outcome. And at the end of the week, you can view and sort the entire visual conversation to see what the world had to say.

MAX VISUAL CONVERSATIONS
Intriguing weekly themes hosted by creative luminaries. Local voices in a global conversation without a need for words.
We've created a space where user generated content(UCG) could live freely without any distractions. With a simple prompt from the host participants get to participate by adding images and comments. Viewers can play with their own setup by changing background colors and playing with the size of displayed images. The experience works well on mobile as well.
Here is an example of illustration themed conversation on a custom yellow background
