Research+Outline


 * Outline of Capstone Research **
 * Created and have updated a Wiki page for capstone project, allowing us to post and edit any relevant documents and/or research important to the project.
 * We met before the study break to discuss any new findings.
 * Investigated Aer Lingus website for any info regarding public outreach (a very limited photographic archive).


 * Researching instances of company outreach. For example **Games-workshop** who has a Flickr presence allowing customers/fans to add pictures of their own painted Warhammer models (talk to Neil!) and to communicate info about selected models. The **Guinness** **Storehouse** visitor photographic competition and online archive - this program promotes the Guinness brand by encouraging visitors to take and then enter photos into a competition ( details on Wiki). There is an overall yearly winner with a cash prize.
 * Initial research into digital photo platforms, e.g., Flickr (Wikipedia entry is good), Pix.ie (a community of amateur and professional photographers) and Photobucket ( [] ) a similar idea to Flickr. There are more out there so please feel free to add to the Wiki.
 * Aengus provided us with a document on Flickr (Fun with Flickr).


 * Getty images: An online image archive that sells stock images. A comparable idea, i.e., an image repository accessed online ( []).
 * Similarly Corbis (mentioned initially, check it out online [] ).

Hey guys please feel free to add to above especially regards background research (if any).
