Create custom image graphics for result page types #127

Open fontnerd opened 11 years ago

fontnerd commented 11 years ago

If someone can get me a concrete list of result types (books, objects, documents, etc), I could get working on these graphics. And I already have the books icon (not used on the home page)!

It seems to be easy to get media type, we might need to ask the API providers where to look for more specific information e.g. types of text like book, document, etc.

We probably need our own limited taxonomy and use one image for multiple types or for equivalent terms (e.g. sound/audio).

Are there types other than these or should we run with them?

text (which covers books, documents, manuscripts, etc and seems to be about as much detail as we'll get from most APIs) image (photographs, paintings) sound video 3d (presumably sculpture, buildings and maybe in the future shape files etc?)

I can work with these. Is this something we'd like to have done before the next deployment? I work well with deadlines. :)

It'd be great if we did, as I'm not sure what the plans are beyond a big push for a release by the end of September (assuming I'm remembering the date right). How does that work for you, allowing time for implementation and tweaking?
