I agree with Máirín's comments - well stated! It feels like there is a
feature here that hasn't been defined as such: the ability for me to
choose any number of images as "Maybe's" and then have a second round of
choosing/narrowing down. I think it could be a compelling feature but
it is not needed to get a first version out.
I support the focus on having a single round of choosing/voting with a
visual tray where my votes appear while I'm voting. Keep the choices on
the screen while I'm reviewing so I can remove something if I find
something I like more. Máirín understates it when she says 16 is a
"high" cognitive load. People can struggle with remembering 4 or 5
items. Screen real estate for 16 images is fairly large if they are
sized so I can see the thumbnails adequately. I'd support the idea of
reducing the vote count, but maybe that could be made configurable in
the system (in a later release)?

The other thing in Ryan's design which makes the selection task easier
is that he mocked it up with only 5 selections allowed. Limiting the
wallpaper selection to 5 means people are only going to pick those
wallpapers they are the very most excited about, and it's going to be
easier for them to pick them because they don't have as many slots to
worry about. You might worry that letting people pick 5 means we won't
have enough wallpapers voted for to make 16 for the package, but if we
have > 100 wallpapers to choose from, the probability that our users
would pick the same 5 over and over is really low. The more wallpapers,
the lower the probability. 16 selections is a pretty high cognitive load.
