Find Pioneer Images

[schanzer]

For each pioneer on your list, find a hi-resolution (min 250dpi or better) image of:

• Ideally, a real photo of that pioneer!
• If that's not possible, a drawing, painting, mosaic, or other interpretation
• If that's not possible, a graphic that somehow describes their contribution

When printing to a poster, image quality and size is really important. We need HUGE image files, so you'll want to adjust the image search settings to focus on large files.

Just uploaded a folder containing the images for each pioneer on the list! Let me know if this folder is accessible.

Hi @rrajesh1 - apologies for the delay. Most of these images are way too small to be printed as posters (see the original issue text). Are these largest files you could find?

[rrajesh1]

I did filter the google search, but perhaps I applied the wrong filter. I will go back through and try to see if there are larger pictures rather than the ones I chose. If not I will find alternatives.

These look like you're just right clicking on the Google thumbnails and downloading. Have you tried loading the actual image file itself?

[rrajesh1]

How do I load the actual image file?

[schanzer]

Click on the thumbnail, then click "view file" in the resulting sidebar

[rrajesh1]

I tried loading the actual image files for a few of the pioneers and uploaded a new folder with these images, are theses sizes better?

[schanzer]

@rrajesh1 MUCH better. One of the images is like 6kb, which is still way too small. But all the others are definitely in the ballpark of what we want (ideally, ~1MB or so). Sounds like you've got the process figured out, so all you need to do is rinse and repeat for the rest!

[rrajesh1]

Thank you! Which of the images is too small?

[schanzer]

Joan Clark is way too small. You have a few images there that are like ~100-200kb, which is juuuust enough. But in general, look for images that are around 1-5MB. If we want these to be poster-sized, we need HUGE images! :)

@rrajesh1 status?

[rrajesh1]

Sorry about the delay, I can give an update with the next batch by the end of the week. Is that ok? Thank you!

[rrajesh1]

Just uploaded a folder with my current progress, let me know if any of these images won't work. Thank you!

[schanzer]

@rrajesh1 a lot of these are MUCH better. But there are still quite a few that are way too small. In my earlier comment, I said we're looking for images 1-5MB in size. But your Alan Turing photo is only 7kb!

Images that are unusably small or pixelated:

Images that are probably usable, but really should be bigger/higher quality:

Got it, I will make these changes as soon as possible. I'll send an update by the end of the week.

[rrajesh1]

Just pushed an update. I was unable to find larger images for Clarence Ellis or Thomas David Petite. Please let me know what I should fix if anything, thank you!

[schanzer]

I think this is fine. THANK YOU for all your work on this!
