A collaborative image collection

The purpose of this assignment collaborate on a collection of user-generated content -- the group will succeed if we create excellent images. It also illustrates the use of tags for information retrieval.

If you have not already done so, open an account at Flickr.com and upload some images for practice and to become familiar with the site. (You must have at least five images on Flickr for them to show up in search queries).

We will collaborate to compile a collection of images that communicate an idea or feeling about CSUDH. A marketing person might say were are trying to define the CSUDH "brand."

The images can be photos, collages, drawings, logos, graphs, etc.

Begin by considering your feelings for and ideas about CSUDH. What would you like your image to say?

Here are four I made to kick things off:

Create an image and upload it to your Flickr account. Assign the tag ourcsudhs2010 to your image.

Check to see that your image shows up in a search for the tag ourcsudhs2010. (There will be a delay between your assigning the tag and its showing up in the search results).

You may review each other's images by searching for that tag.

To reinforce the idea or emotion you are trying convey, add a title and a description to your image.

Print your image and its title and description to turn in.

These images will be entered in a contest, and winners will receive extra points.

If you wish, you can enter a second image in the contest, but you need only one to complete this assignment.
