request for images

[thijs]

Hello,

 

As you may or may not know Tarzan is undergoing some big changes at the

moment. We will be re-launching with a new name, new design and lots

of exciting new features. We are hoping to offer a lot more scans of record

labels & sleeves and record label logos, this is where we would like to ask

for a little help from you lot....

 

If you are at all able to provide us with scans for releases then it would

help us out a great deal. to make things a bit easier on our side here are a

few 'rules':

 

1. please sent label logos as GIFs if appropriate, JPG otherwise. name them

.gif (or .jpg). with label name being the name as used in the

tarzan database.

 

naming: .gif

e.g. 31_reocrds.gif

 

2. with cover and label scans please use a maximum width of 400 pixels. most

of these images will be JPGs. please name them according the examples below.

 

to indicate the release use the label name and the catalogue number:

 

naming: --

e.g. 'moving_shadow-shadow14-x.jpg'

 

the type of image can be front/back/inlay/cd/a/b/c...

with the latter being scans in the labels on the vinyl itself.

 

3. artist pictures have a maximum width of 400 pixels as well, and mainly are in

the JPG format. if possible please state who took the picture (and thus owns

the copyright).

 

naming: .jpg

e.g. omni_trio.jpg

 

The pictures can be sent to tarzan@spoox.org, but keep in mind that you keep

the emails smaller than 1 megabyte. Please only sent images of entries which

are already in the database, or sent extra info to be added.

 

Thanks in advance!

What do you think about lifting scans we see on other websites, either personal or commercial (like a record shop or eBay)? These images can't be copyrighted, so it only seems like a good idea. Plus I see scans of stuff on eBay of some VERY rare releases that it is unlikely we would get scans for otherwise.

 

Thoughts?

i sent you guys label scans for tonedef007 about a month ago. I have yet to see it uploaded onto the databse.

 

I sent them to the gmail email address.

Finally found this again... was tired of finding out the naming scheme each time, so made it a sticky this time :biggrin:

Are the images being added now? I remember a little back there was a whole lot submitted by iamdek that had not been uploaded

[thijs]

No, unfortunatelly I still do not have time for this. Images will be added once the new updating system will be in place. Once that is done I can focus on images etc instead of the plain updates and additions.

 

All is still in the (large) queue, and I hope all of them can be added soon as they sure make the site look better imo.

This will speed up in a big way once the new system is in place. We have a huge backlog of this sort of thing that spread amogst the team will be a lot quicker!
