Subject: [All-affiliates] Introducing the Wikimedia photo library and a
workshop invite
To: Wikimedia Affiliates <all-affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedia affiliates communications leads,
We are so excited to share a new resource with you: The Wikimedia Photo
Library
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand/imagery#Open_Wikimedia_Photo_Collecti…>.[1]
In it you will find high quality images that help to tell the story of free
knowledge. We hope that this library will help you in the important work
you do as a communications lead. Alongside this library, we’ve also updated
guidelines <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand/imagery> [2] on how to
effectively use imagery to tell brand stories.
Curious to learn more about these resources?
We will be holding a short workshop for 45 minutes on Tuesday 3 October
2023, at 16:00 UTC (add event to your calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NnNzdWVzaG…>)
[3] and again on Thursday 5 October at 7:00 UTC (add event to your calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NTk1cDc3bH…>)
[4] to accommodate different time zones. During these workshops, we will
walk you through some examples of images that align with the Movement Brand
Guidelines, some basics of quality photography and answer any questions you
may have about this topic.
The need for a Wikimedia Photo Library
Our research showed that there are lots of photos available from Wikimedia
events, usually featuring people using computers. There were very few
images showing mobile editing or reading, and even fewer showing people
using the projects in their everyday lives.
These images are the first steps in creating a photo library that is
representative of the whole movement. We have added images that are aligned
with the Movement Brand Guidelines in this category on Wikimedia Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photos_aligned_with_Wikimedia_b…>.[5]
Photography is a powerful tool to create cohesion in Wikimedia
communication. Our hope is that all of you will help to build this resource
out with images from your region.
By continuing to add to this category, we will be helping one another tell
more impactful stories of the free knowledge movement – learn how on the Brand
portal on Meta-wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand/imagery>.[6]
Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions. We hope
to see you at one of the workshops!
Best,
Samir and the Brand Studio team
