360° convention pictures and movies comming up...

Boys and there toys…

Guilty…!

Yes I’m human too, and as a web developer I read blog about what’s hot in web development in 2018. And guess what… 360° images are making their way up…

360 degrees cameras have to fisheye lenses and automatically stitch the images together so you get a real 360 view of the place where you took the pictures. Good quality 360 cameras are getting affordable and easy to use. So your truly ordered one online 🙂

And now for the good news… I will take it with me to the centennial convention in Chicago and will take 360° pictures in the convention hall, plenary, the parade, etc., etc… So, stay tuned for some really nice 360 experiences on the SMiLE Blog and Facebook page.

The picture below is taken during the District 112a convention during voting…

Post from RICOH THETA. - Spherical Image - RICOH THETA

Nowadays it’s even possible to have 360° video and post them to YouTube. YouTube fully supports this kind of videos by adding navigation controls to view 360° videos. 360° videos are low quality.

The video on the right was shot during a multiple Lions Club inclusion event for people with disabilities, their compnions, families and friends.

The power of hashtags

Make Instagram work for you and your club!

To demonstrate the power of hashtags consider the next case:

Your Multiple district organizes a big tree planting day as part of one of the centennial environmental goals. To show the world Lions are involved with the environment, a public relations campaign is set up. One of the ideas is to show pictures from Lions planting trees all over the multiple district and you are responsible for publishing all pictures online…

Choose your scenario…

SCENARIO I

You set up a communication to all Lions in the multiple district to ask them to take pictures during the event.

You instruct Lions to send the pictures to your personal email account.

You get emails saying the attachments where stripped because of the size. You reply with a request to send the pictures with Wetransfer. You get an email requesting help using WeTransfer…

You get another batch of images with poor resolution. You reply requesting the original images. You get an email requesting help getting the original images from their camera…

You do not get pictures from several districts. You start mailing around asking for someone that took pictures and request to send them to You.

You are missing information about the origin (district) of the pictures. You start replying emails to get the information.

You start uploading the pictures and get an ‘Image too large’ error message.

You start resizing all pictures received to a proper format.

You start receiving mails asking why everything is taking so long…

You which you never volunteered for this job…

Next time…

You start all over again

There will not be a next time…

SCENARIO II

You set up a communication to all Lions in the multiple district to ask them to take pictures during the event.

You instruct Lions to use Instagram and the event hashtag #lionstreeplanting. You add a link to the SMiLE article Start using Instagram today

You add a link on your event webpage to https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionstreeplanting/ and see ALL*** Instagram pictures with #lionstreeplanting

You don’t need to do anything else!!!!

Next time…

Just send out a new event hashtag

We choose Instagram an the hashtag! You???

*** Since the project https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionstreeplanting/ is fictional it will have no posts, but look at https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionsclubselfie/ to see how SMiLE is collection Lions selfies from all over the world just by introducing the #lionsclubselfie hashtag!

Also have a look at our latest campaign #lions100bday http://www.lionssmile.org/lions100bday-instagram/

El poder del #hashtags

¡Haga que Instagram funcione para usted y su club!

Para demostrar el poder de hashtags considere el siguiente caso:

Su distrito múltiple esta organizando un gran día de plantación de árboles como parte de uno de los objetivos ambientales del centenarios. Para mostrar al mundo que los Leones están involucrados con el medio ambiente, se crea una campaña de relaciones públicas. Una de las ideas es mostrar imágenes de los Leones que plantan árboles en todo el distrito múltiple y usted es responsable de publicar todas las imágenes en línea …

Elige tu escenario …

ESCENARIO 1

Usted establece una comunicación con todos los Leones en el distrito múltiple para pedirles que tomen fotografías durante el evento.

Usted indica a los Leones que envíen las imágenes a su cuenta de correo electrónico personal.

Usted recibe mensajes de correo electrónico diciendo que los archivos adjuntos no pueden ser recibido debido al tamaño. Usted responde con una solicitud para enviar las imágenes con Wetransfer. Usted recibe un correo electrónico solicitando ayuda de como usar WeTransfer …

Usted obtiene otro lote de imágenes con una resolución pobre. Usted responde solicitando las imágenes originales. Usted recibe un correo electrónico solicitando ayuda para obtener las imágenes originales de su cámara …

Usted no recibe fotos de varios distritos. Usted comienza a enviar por correo pidiendo a alguien que tomó fotos y la solicitud de enviar a usted.

Usted le hace falta información sobre el origen (distrito) de las imágenes. Usted comienza a responder mensajes de correo electrónico para obtener la información.

Usted comienza a cargar las imágenes y obtiene un mensaje de error “Imagen demasiado grande”.

Usted comienza a cambiar el tamaño de todas las imágenes recibidas a un formato adecuado.

Usted comienza a recibir mensajes de correo electrónico preguntando por qué todo está tomando tanto tiempo ..

Usted se pregunta por qué se ofreció para este trabajo ..

La próxima vez…

Empiezas todo de nuevo

No habrá una próxima vez …

ESCENARIO 2

Usted establece una comunicación a todos los Leones en el distrito múltiple para pedirles que tomen fotografías durante el evento.

Usted indica a los Leones que utilicen Instagram y el hashtag de eventos #lionstreeplanting. Usted agrega un enlace al artículo de SMiLE Comience a usar Instagram hoy

Usted agrega un enlace en su Web page del acontecimiento a https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionstreeplanting/ y ve TODAS *** las imágenes en Instagram con el hashtag #lionstreeplanting

Usted ¡No necesitas hacer nada más!!!!

La próxima vez…

Solo envía un nuevo hashtag para el evento

¡Quién elige Instagram y el hashtag! ¿¿¿Tú???

*** Como el proyecto https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionstreeplanting/ es ficticio, no tendrá posts, pero mira https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lionsclubselfie/ para ver cómo SMiLE Es colección Lions selfies de todo el mundo sólo con la introducción del hashtag #lionsclubselfie !

También echa un vistazo a nuestra última campaña #lions100bday http://www.lionssmile.org/lions100bday-instagram/

Mundaneum - A piece of pre-internet history

Mundaneum – Mons, Belgium

Recently I was at the Google Belgium offices in Brussels for a certification class and noticed a piece of what seemed to be an old archive closet. It turned out that it was part of a Belgian project from 1895 aimed to collect and store information from all over the world with more than 12 million index cards and documents: The “Mundaneam” project Read on and be amazed…

The web time forgot

New York Times

Some consider it a forerunner of the Internet (or, perhaps more appropriately, of systematic knowledge projects such as Wikipedia etc…) The inventor himself had dreams that one day, somehow, all the information he collected could be accessed by people from the comfort of their own homes. Ultimately, this project was never realised as the Mundaneum project soon faced the scale of the technical development of its era.

Watch this video and be amazed!

youtube

Learn more about the Mundaneum on Google Arts & Culture

In 2012 Google announced forming a partnership with the museum in Mons, Belgium, dedicated to a long-ago venture to compile and index knowledge in a giant, library-style card catalog with millions of entries — an analog-era equivalent of a search engine or Wikipedia.

Time to say "Thank You" - using Canva templates

[et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Lets be open – too often we forget to say “Thank You” to those, who support our work. But using social media and some good looking Canva templates this is quick and easy. Canva not only is a great tool, the team from Canva also provides great tutorials and templates. Ideal to achieve best results – even as a beginner! In this SMiLE blog post we show you …

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.29)” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Step 1: Select the template

Visit Canva’s template page and choose the template you like. “Thank You” is one of the subcategories available, so lets choose that:

https://www.canva.com/templates/cards/thank-you/

Once you find something you like, click on the Image, which takes you to the template’s detailed Information page.

Click the “Edit this template” button to start …

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Original Canva image template” src=”http://www.lionssmile.org/wp-content/uploads/Gold-Christmas-Thank-You-Card.jpg” alt=”Original Canva image template” title_text=”Original Canva image template” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_margin=”10px||5px|”] [/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Step 2: Tweak / Personalize the template as appropriate …

Change / Add / Delete text parts

Change / Add / Delete Image parts

Of course you can add additional Images you uploaded to your Canva workbench!

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Canva customized template sample” src=”http://www.lionssmile.org/wp-content/uploads/Canva-Templates.png” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” animation=”left” sticky=”on” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” alt=”Canva templates – a nice way for Lions to say %22Thank You%22″ title_text=”Canva templates – a nice way for Lions to say %22Thank You%22″ use_overlay=”off” custom_margin=”5px||10px|”] [/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Step 3: Save & Download your work

Once you are satisfied, save your final work and download as PNG or JPG graphic file.

Step 4: Post your “Thank You”

Post your fresh designed “Thank You” message on your favorite social media platform. Your supporters will be more than happy:

You demonstrated that you care about them and

you delivered a professional looking graphic work

Hint: Of course you can also use the Canva design for some printed Cards as well – simply download it as PDF file for further printing or uploading to your favorite print Service.

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”off” background_color=”#efefef” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” padding_top_1=”0px” padding_right_1=”15px” padding_bottom_1=”0px” padding_left_1=”15px”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

Una dimensione corretta, una visione .. perfetta

Una veste nuova al sito di Club o alla pagina di un Social Media?!

Cambiare di tanto in tanto la immagine del banner aiuta a mantenere il sito interessante. E ‘anche un buon modo per allineare la principale attività corrente del club o il tema del centenario dei Lions.

Ma quando avete scelto la immagine migliore .. comincia il mal di testa ..

La sfida

Come …

evitare che la immagine sia distorta?

far si che le parti significative della immagine rimangano, una volta caricata?

verificare se la immagine va bene anche per Twitter?

ottenere un look perfetto?

A questo punto è molto utile sapere quali sono le dimensioni della immagine che ogni servizio utilizza per le diverse posizioni consentite: le immagini del profilo, del banner, quelle dell’evento, la immagine del post, ecc

E ancora .. i vari canali (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) cambiamo di tanto in tanto le dimensioni, magari di poco riportando in auge .. il “problema” sottolineato e le sfide che esso comporta.

SMiLE è però un tuo Amico …

E il Team di SMiLE hanno gli stessi tuoi problemi nel manutenere Siti e Social di Club o di Distretto.

E condividiamo questi temi con voi, per rimanere aggiornati su tutte queste modifiche nella dimensione. Così non c’è bisogno di scarabocchiare o di memorizzare nulla. Metti questo post di SMiLE come segnalibro 🙂

Ci sono un sacco di notizie su internet che parlano di questo tema. Ecco quelle che ci paiono piu interessanti:

Una grande infografica che copre tutti i più importanti canali Social:

La pagina originale: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/ultimate-guide-social-media-image-dimensions-infographic#sm.000jdcj9r65mcol11ag2ki26ivgew

La infografica specifica (le immagini): https://socialmediaweek.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/hubspot-social-image-size-guide.jpg

Ripetuta qui, con qualche modello Photoshop: http://makeawebsitehub.com/social-media-image-sizes-cheat-sheet/

Un’altra pagina di infografica sui Social Media, con un approccio diverso: http://www.mainstreethost.com/blog/social-media-image-size-cheat-sheet/

E sulle pagine immagini di copertina di un evento Facebook:

Sembrava un piccolo segreto, ma finalmente abbiamo trovato le informazioni anche su questo … In due pagine abbiamo trovato queste dimensioni: 784 px di larghezza by 295 px di altezza (http://webmarketingtherapy.com/blog/social-media-cover-photo-sizes-for-2016/)

Qui trovate alcune dimensioni extra di Facebook, che non trovi in altre fonti! http://www.dreamgrow.com/facebook-cheat-sheet-sizes-and-dimensions/

Con queste informazioni .. gestire un Social Media ‘diventa molto più facile 🙂

Ma abbiamo un’altra cosa interessante da condividere …

Strumenti per creare una dimensione perfetta di banners per i Social Media

L’utilizzo dello strumento giusto può aiutare molto a velocizzare il lavoro di composizione di un banner perfetto per i Social Media

Una delle risorse internet di cui sopra fornisce modelli di Photoshop per varie piattaforme di Social Media. E per quelli di voi che lavorano molto con Photoshop questa pare la soluzione migliore.

Nel caso vi piaccia uno strumento semplice ma potente e bello, SMiLE raccomanda Canva, uno strumento che utilizziamo molto a questo scopo.

Canva è un servizio online (www.canva.com) che è possibile utilizzare con il browser, o utilizzando la bella App Canva per iPad! Lo consigliamo vivamente.

Rätta dimensioner - fint utseende

Ny stil för din klubbs webbsida eller sociala mediers sida?!

Att byta ut bilden på bannern då och då kan lyfta din sajt och gör den intressant. Det är också ett bra sätt att hålla sajten ajour med aktuella aktiviteter på klubben eller jubileums tema.

När du har valt ut din bild börjar den svåra delen….

Utmaningen

Hur gör man för att

undvika att förvränga bilden?

bibehålla alla huvuddelarna synliga när bilden är uppladdad?

bedöma om bilden också passar Twitter?

åstadkomma det perfekta utseendet?

Vid det här laget är det bra att veta vilka dimensioner bilderna ska ha på de olika sociala mediertjänsterna. Profilbild, bannerbild, evenemangsbild, inläggsbild, etc..etc..

Men vänta, då och då ändrar Sociala Mediers olika kanaler sina gällande dimensioner som gäller för bilderna vilket kan leda till några problem och utmaningar.

SMiLE är din vän….

SMiLE:s team får samma utmaningar och frågor medan de sköter våra sajter eller sajter var och en av oss sköter för våra klubbar eller distrikt.

Därför delar vi med oss de resurser som hjälper dig att hålla dig ajour med aktuella dimensioner för bilder i sociala medier. På så sätt behöver du inte anteckna eller lägga i minnet. Du behöver bara spara detta blogginlägg som ett bokmärke.

Du kommer att hitta massor med webbsidor på nätet som handlar om detta ämne. Här är några som vi har funnit väldigt nyttiga.:-)

En bra inforgrafik som täcker alla stora sociala medier kanaler:

Originell webbsida: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/ultimate-guide-social-media-image-dimensions-infographic#sm.000jdcj9r65mcol11ag2ki26ivgew

Infografik (bild): https://socialmediaweek.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/hubspot-social-image-size-guide.jpg

Upprepat här med Photoshopmallar: http://makeawebsitehub.com/social-media-image-sizes-cheat-sheet/

En annan infografik om bilder för sociala medier, en annorlunda vinkel: http://www.mainstreethost.com/blog/social-media-image-size-cheat-sheet/

Om Facebook evenemangs bannerbilder:

Detta verkar vara någon sorts hemlighet men vi lyckades hitta information om det också. Minst två källor rapporterar dessa dimensioner:: 784 px bred x 295 px hög (http://webmarketingtherapy.com/blog/social-media-cover-photo-sizes-for-2016/)

Här hittar du extra information om dimensioner på bilder på Facebook som inte nämns någon annan stans! http://www.dreamgrow.com/facebook-cheat-sheet-sizes-and-dimensions/

Utrustad med dessa lathundar blir livet som administratör för sociala medier lite lättare 🙂

Men vi har en till godsak att dela med oss….

Verktyg för att skapa de perfekta sociala medier banners

För att påskynda jobbet att komponera den perfekta bannern för sociala medier eller att lägga upp en bild kan det rätta verktyget hjälpa mycket!

En internet resurs listade ovan innehåller Photoshopmallar för de olika sociala medier plattformar. Om du jobbar mycket med Photoshop så passar det dig.

Om du gillar den enkla vägen och en bra slutprodukt kan SMiLE-teamet rekommendera Canva, ett verktyg som vi själva använder väldigt mycket just för sådana uppgifter.

Canva är en onlinetjänst (www.canva.com) som du enkelt kommer åt via din webbläsare eller så kan du använda den fina iPad-appen! Vi rekommenderar det verkligen!

Relaterade SMiLE blogginlägg

För att bekanta dig med Canva, ta en titt på SMiLE:s blogginlägg där vi introducerade Canva. Ett annat bra inlägg att läsa är det vi skrev om hur du kan förbättra din Facebook distriktssida/klubbsida. Klicka på dessa länkar för att komma dit:

Right sizing - great looking

[et_pb_section admin_label=”Section” fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”A new style to your club website or social media page” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

A new style to your club website or social media page?!

Changing banner image occasionally helps keep your site interesting . It is also a good way to align with the current main activity of the club or the centenary theme of lions.

Once you have chosen your preferred picture , the hard part begins …

[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Right sizing – great looking” src=”http://www.lionssmile.org/wp-content/uploads/SMiLE-blog-post-right-sizing-great-looking.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” alt=”SMiLE blog post: Right sizing – great looking” use_overlay=”off” title_text=”Right sizing – great looking”] [/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”The challenge” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]

The challenge

How to …

avoid a distorted image?

keep all main image parts in view, once uploaded?

judge, whether the image will fit for Twitter too?

get a perfect look?

At this point it is very helpful to know, which image dimensions each service uses for all the different images supported: Profile image, banner image, event image, post image, etc.

But wait a minute … every once in a while social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. change these dimensions a bit – leading to the above outlined “problems” and challenges.

SMiLE team members have the same challenges and questions while maintaining our sites or the sites each of us maintains for our clubs or districts.

So we share some resources with you, which really help to stay up to date with all the image dimensions. This way, you do not have to scribble them down or memorize them. Just bookmark this SMiLE blog post 🙂

You will find tons of web pages on the internet, which talk about this topic. Here are the sources we find most helpful:

Tools to create perfect sized social media banners

To speed up the work to compose a perfectly fitting social media banner or post image, using the right tool can help a lot!

One of the internet resources listed above provides Photoshop templates for various social media platforms. For those of you, who work a lot with Photoshop, that might be a good way for you.

In case you like it easy yet powerful and good looking, the SMiLE team recommends Canva, a tool we use quite a lot for this task.

Canva is an online service (www.canva.com) you can use simply with your browser, or you use the nice Canva iPad App! We highly recommend it.
