LV:Activities/Image Quest 2.0/Criteria

Here we are looking for images for cards that will be printed but note that the cards will be available for reuse in a variety of ways and listing multiple images for various cards depending on who's using them and for what purpose and context will be useful.

Discuss the criteria below:


 * The licence of the image must conform to the Free Cultural Works definition
 * Image attribution must be reliably confirmed.
 * The Resources page includes hints on where to find appropriately licensed images.
 * The images can be abstract but they should help convey something of the nature of the pattern.
 * It's OK to be vaguely suggestive or evocative!!!
 * In general, landscape images work a lot better than portrait.
 * Good quality images are (of course) better than blurry, low-resolution, etc. images.
 * Printable resolution: 
 * The cards will be about 4" x 5.5" and the images c. 2"-3" x 1"-1.5", so, the image shouldn't have much detail.
 * Higher resolutions are likely to be useful in future.
 * Photographs or paintings & prints will integrate better than drawings or tables, graphs, etc.
 * Although ICT plays a strong role in the pattern language, non high-techy images are generally preferred.
 * Color and clarity are in. Murky is out!
 * Rich colors are good - but we do have some B&W (which will probably be sepia-ized a little).
 * The image must ultimately reside on Wikimedia commons - copy it over with full attribution information and link to it if you have time.
