Digital Aphorisms are designed using Phrasr that sucks in tagged images, publicly available from the Flickr database. Each Flickr image used in the digital aphorism acknowledges the original photographer and was originally tagged by the photographer with the word it visualises. The selection of images creating the aphorism is limited to those available with the specific tag publicly in the Flickr database

Digital aphorisms operate on speed - do not spend too much time on the images.

Whatever is sitting at the forefront of your mind, grab it and condense it quickly into a textual metaphor or phrase.

Words first and then go for the images as they erupt.

Build the theme for the aphorism on the first image you select.

Let the images dragged from Flickr speak to you as you construct the aphorism.

A good aphorism contains only ambiguity, tension and paradox - meaning is secondary and comes NOT from the aphorism but the digital audience.
