Image searching - is patience, boredom and even interesting…

Image searches can turn up some pretty random stuff sometimes (some stuff which isn’t always the best to see), but for most generic searches using site’s like gettyimages or jupiter you are overall pretty safe.

Search for ‘diversified’.

Google images: http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/tdb89/Diversity-3.png Gettyimages or jupiter: http://www.jupiterimages.com/searchResultsji.aspx

Before starting know what the brief asks’ of you. Eg: I’m searching for an image using the key word ‘diversified’. Diversity for my brief covers: manufacturing, retail and roof & beverages.

A guide to image searching:
Step 1: http://www.jupiterimages.com or http://www.gettyimages.com (and yes there are many others)
Step 2: Search ‘diversity’ with RF selected.

Think hmmmm that isn’t right? How can a cereal bowl work for a financial institution like CBA?
——-
Step 3: Let’s try searching within the results so far for ‘business’
——-
Ok now things are looking better. hmmmm 16,773 images to choose from. The next hour is going to be AWESOME!!! Maybe we could refine the search even further?

Step 4: Let’s try searching further within the results for ‘corporate’
——-
GREAT! Only 847 images to pick from now. I must be getting closer to the perfect image…
I have gone through 15 pages of images and none adhere to brand or answer my brief. Pooo
——-
REPEAT steps 1 to 4 using new key words like ‘retail’ + ‘shopping trolley’ + row and try using thesaurus.com to help narrow down the search. 3 days later I have gone through over 30,000 + images and I’m only half way through…
