All the Young Instagram Tour Diary

https://www.alltheyoung.co.uk/tour-diary/

To engage fans during All The Young’s headline UK tour Alex Burford came up with the idea of photographing a hand-written journal and posting the tour diary through Instagram.

We wanted to display the photographs really elegantly so I created an Instagram-powered flip book. After spending ages working on the code from scratch I stumbled onto a tutorial that showed you how to display instagram photos with the turn.js plugin. This would create a beautiful page turning effect in html5.

The code needed a number of changes to produce the results I was looking for. I modified the php to search instagram for #alltheyoung and return three pages of results. I also added more information about the image to the book. I included the user’s profile picture, name and the caption for the image.

The book also allowed fans to add their photographs to the tour diary by simply adding #alltheyoung to the caption.

I’m really pleased with the results, not a bad first attempt at tackling the Instagram API.
