First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying multimedia content including a plurality of items, the method comprising:
- determining at least one attribute associated with each of the plurality of items;
determining at least one of a size and a location of each of at least a first portion of the plurality of items based on the at least one attribute, the size and location of one of the at least the first portion of the plurality of items being different from the size and location of another of the at least the first portion of the plurality of items; and
displaying at least a second portion of the plurality of items together in a planar distribution, each of the at least the second portion of plurality of items being displayed in the location and having the size determined using the at least one attribute.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for displaying items of multimedia content are described. In one aspect, the method and system include determining attribute(s) associated with each item and determining a size and/or a location of each of a first portion of the items based on the attribute(s). The size and location of one item is different from the size and location of another item. The method and system also include displaying at least a second portion of the items together in a planar distribution in which each item has the size and location determined using the attributes. In another aspect, the method and system include determining an ambient color of an item. The item has a plurality of colors on which the ambient color is based. In this aspect, the method and system also include determining a frame including the ambient color and displaying the item in the frame.
