The look-and-feel of the user interface for the Education Image Gallery (EIG) service has been refreshed for the start of the academic year 2005/2006, including two improvements to the service's functionality.
In order to give a better demonstration of the range of images available in the service, fresh sets of images, both colour and black-and-white, have been chosen to appear throughout the service pages, representing the main subject areas covered by EIG. A new set of images appears each time a page is refreshed by a user.
In order to keep the content of EIG as up-to-date as possible, the service is now updated on a monthly basis with a batch of approximately 200 of the latest Getty news and sport images from around the world in the following subject categories:
Buildings, Contemporary Illustrative Material (both photography and art), Fashion, Industry, Key Personalities, Leisure, Major Events (from the international arena), Music, Politics, Social History, Sport, Transport, and Work.
Finally, the Picture Trails function has been updated so that users can choose trails from a graphic-led "tiles" view in addition to the existing "text" view. As always EDINA welcomes any comments on the new interface.
