Luke 36887 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 we need to clean up these new music images. @@Smaky can you help? if the genre is called Rap, the image should only say Rap, not Rap & Hip Hop. As a result, three genres now have the same image, it's only going to cause confusion into people thinking they have duplicates. if you could just remove those for now until we have corrected ones, that would be great. thanks.

ginjaninja 533 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) A few more suggestions for genres from my Library. Ive provided some artist suggestions but perhaps an image better represents a genre, given that its often more recognisable, and one artist often covers multiple genres. Even better, if the generic PSD were released with a generic image, I would happy to create to loads of genres, until there is time to improve..There are so many genres, some indistinguishable from another, that a generic place holder with the correct text would be a good place to start, to ensure users had complete uniform images for the ui, whilst they tidies up and consolidated. The 50s,The 60s,The 70s,The 80s,The 90s, (Decade compilation Albums, artwork is not so much artist based as a numberical value with generic music image eg. "The 1950s" or "1950s" or "50s" Acoustic - Image of Acoutic Guitar Ambient - ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Audiobook - [book/Speach image] Bluegrass - [bluegrass] ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Blues - Muddy Waters, Freddie King, Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Seasick Steve, Gary Moore, Caroline Chocolate Drops Britpop - Oasis, Blur, Suede, The Verve A Cappella - ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Celtic - Mary Black, Clannad, Celtic Cross/Imagary Chillout - ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Chosen by Artist - ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Classical - Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Wagner Compilation - ?Generic Music Backdrop with Text Country - Johnny Cash, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Dixie Chicks Dance- Prodigy, Faithless, Drum and Bass - Pendulum, Folk - Eddie Reader, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Kirsty Macoll.

Worship - Copy of Religeous Christmas - Same as Holiday? Disney - [Disney Castle?/Disney Charachter] Remix - ? for remixed albums of an orignal Rock & Roll - The Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, The Dave Clark Five, Edited January 22, 2015 by ginjaninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, if the generic PSD were released with a generic image, I would happy to create to loads of genres, until there is time to improve.. In case you didn't know you can grab the PSDs from GitHub. I started trying to use meaningful images, but I wasn't able to crack that nut. I was able to fairly easily pull out artists that I could recognize. For example, what the heck do I do to differentiate between the following with generic images: Alternative metal, death metal, heavy metal, industrial metal, metalcore, progressive metal, thrash metal Alternative rock, grunge, hard rock, pop-rock, post-grunge, progressive rock, punk rock I'd prefer generic images if someone was able to figure out how to do it.

ginjaninja 533 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84611964/Desktop.rar something like this for generic? as the specifics get created.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pais 115 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Ah, I see. I misinterpreted you earlier email. I was thinking a different generic image for each genre, but instead you were suggesting a single generic image for many genres. Interesting idea, especially for some of the tricky ones. I won't have time to work on it until this weekend, but I'll give it a try on some of the tricky ones and see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36887 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Another thing we can start doing, provided someone here can take the time....if we can remove the genre name from the images then the clients can use their own localized text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36887 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 without the lines too, so just the image. we could even omit the transparency filter on top. it's something that should be done but it's also a tricky one. it will affect clients who won't have anyway to know the contents of the image. so from my end it will have to be done with care.

AlwinHummels 134 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) yea because clients can do all that, and the server can do it when the client can't like roku for instance. Can the server place the text in the middle and place the stripes also as a overlay? so we get the pictures as the where before? This should be very nice.

For Music genres this is particularly useful as there is so much disparity over spelling such as Rhythm & Blues,, R&B,RnB,R & B, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let me know when you want me to supply them to GitHub. Many thanks to @[member="AlwinHummels"] for supplying many of the untouched images used to create the original music genre images.
