This is a fairly straight forward project requiring little technical knowledge. I want you to go through this list:
http://artists.letssingit.com/hot_artists/1
For each artist name, I want you to search for 1x image on google. The image must be high resolution [1-5mb+ prefered]. It must be high resolution/not be watermarked/look professional. For example, images like:
http://agmnewyork.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/2008_06_11_emi_kooks.jpg
http://twelvemilesacrosstheocean.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/the-all-american-rejects1.jpg
These can be found by using google search, and in advanced options, clicking ‘Larger than: 2/4mp. If there are limited images, nothing smaller than 600kb, but only use such a small size as the last resort [the larger, the better].
Once you find a suitable image, save it with a neat file name [i.e. theartistsname.jpg]. The file name should have no spaces, only use the alphabet [abc] and numbers [123], don’t use capitals.
Once you have saved the image, open an excel document [template attached]. One collum is for the <b> artist name + keywords [see below] </b> and one is for the image file name. In the image file name collum section copy and paste what the image was saved as [i.e. theartistname.jpg]. Make sure you include the .jpg extension.
In the Artist Name with Keywords section, there is a character limit of 55 [including spaces]. THIS LIMIT SHOULD NEVER BE EXCEEDED. Use captitals in this section where required [i.e. Artist Name should be Captitals 'Coldplay, Beyonce, 30 Seconds to Mars' etc].
The steps for to fill out the 55 characters:
1) The artist/band name i.e. Tool
2) Followed by the word ‘poster’ i.e. Tool Poster
3) + relevant keywords to fill up the remaining character limit. i.e. Tool Poster [Aenima Danney Carey Sober Opiate Salival]
Other suitable examples:
30 Seconds to Mars Poster [A beautiful Lie Jared Leto]
A Perfect Circle Poster [aMOTION Maynard Keenan]
Alicia Keys Poster [Alicia Augello Cook As I am]
Angels and Airwaves Poster [We Don't Need To Whisper]
To get suitable keywords, click on the artist name you are completing in the link [http://artists.letssingit.com/hot_artists/1]. In this new window, look under the “Top Albums” heading, you can copy and paste the album name with the lowest number. Also use the Biography Section, copy and paste the band memebers name. If you need additional keyword, look under the “Top Songs” heading and copy and paste the song with the lowest number.
If a suitable image cannot be found, simply move onto the next artist/band [please work your way through from #1, #2, #3 etc onwards]. Please only skip an artist if no high quality images are available [this should not happen/not happen often].
This project is urgent. I need this completed in the next 15 hours. Please place a bid for 300x images with entries. There will be more of the same work if interested. If you think you can do more than 300x images in the 15 hours, let me know. If you want to do less, then let me know how many. I will accept multiple people for this project. Would pay about 30c an entry for larger volumes.
At the end, simply send me the excel workbook & the images [can be uploaded to my server or emailed]. Once you do the first few and get the hang of it, it should not take too long.
In summary again;
1) Work your way down this list http://artists.letssingit.com/hot_artists/1
2) For each artist, save 1x high resolution image from google
3) Enter in the saved image name into the excel template
4) Create a title [55 character limit], including
‘Artist Name’ + the word ‘Poster’ + Keywords
I need the work within 15 hours, even if you have only gotten part way through the work. Happy to answer any questions.
