Vox meme for social media images #25

Closed mebates closed 8 years ago

mebates commented 8 years ago

We could turn our documentary photography into social graphics, using Vox Media's meme generator. Would be super sweet if we could figure out how to add a beam or creatively incorporate CFPB's logo, rather than a watermark.

Who's with me !?

Documentary photography?

This is definitely interesting to me. I can't Ruby, but would love to pitch in on the front end.

Anything from https://www.flickr.com/photos/cfpbphotos/

contolini commented 8 years ago

If this will be a public project, you'll want to limit which images can be uploaded (perhaps by using flickr's API to pull from that album). Otherwise, you risk letting people watermark inappropriate photos with our logo.

@Scotchester I think we could pretty easily remove the Ruby requirement and serve it from gh-pages. All the image processing is done in the browser and I think they're just using Ruby to serve assets and build the project. I recently built a similar tool: https://github.com/yes-lab/mobile-meme-generator/

This sounds really fun.

mebates commented 8 years ago

Is there anything I should do to help prep for this project?

ascott1 commented 8 years ago

I'd say either be there to provide design support or draft up some really specific guidelines about what this should do. Obvious preference would be @mebates real life participation at the hackathon.

Anything else @cfarm?

mebates commented 8 years ago

Definitely planning on real life participation, all day!
