PirateZoom
So, for my school graphics GCSE project, I need to create graphic products to promote The Pirate Party/The Pirate Bay. I wanted to do something cutting edge, something different from the business card-letterhead fever that seems to grip the classroom. So I want to make a DeepZoom app! I got 44 images from people in school, and getting any more is going to be difficult. I used these 44 to make a DZ model, but it didn’t turn out too amazingly – which is where I want you to help me out.
I need pictures. Lots of them. Basically what I need is an image of you, you and some friends, your dog, your cat, whatever, holding up a picture of the Pirate Bay/Pirate Party logo, or holding up a piece of paper with “I’m a pirate!” or “I pirate X” on it. I don’t mind. Get creative.
So, help a brother out! I’ll end up putting the whole project on the web eventually for you to play around with – maybe you can try and find your picture! Email your images to lloyd.humph at gmail dot com. Keep them under 1mb! Ideally I need over 500 images, but if I can get more I can make a bigger PirateZoom!
Heres the demo one I did – it doesn’t work very well since you can see many of the images many times. http://www.lloydhumphreys.com/content/piratezoom/
Thanks!
Looking awesome (:
Good thing you can’t see me close up hehe.
Nice! Guess you want pictures of people holding signs.
But for something different, you could photoshop signs onto famous people. Problem is you don’t want to get sued for the use of a famous persons picture to promote something without their permission.
So instead you could use pictures of famous people from history. Like Socrates holding a pirate sign, or Blackbeard. I’ve built a query to get pictures of people who have been dead for more than 200 years. it’s at http://tinyurl.com/m5jy2e on Freebase http://www.freebase.com You need to click ‘run’ to get the query to work. To see more click ‘envelope’ then ‘click ‘next’.
Sweet, I’ll check it out! Thanks
