Web-site make-over and new collections at Corbis
Corbis has launched a new version of its web-site with a myriad set of new features designed to simplify searching for images among the company’s wide variety of collections. Pablo Supkay, Director of Web Platforms, says Corbis the changes to the site resulted from an in-house overhaul of the design and functionality of the site aimed at reducing clutter, and an exhaustive testing process with customer focus groups from among clients world-wide. The over-riding goal of the redesign is to make searching through Corbis’s wide variety of collections more intuitive.
Visitors to Corbis.com will see a simplified, less cluttered home page design on a black background meant to allow for better reading of the images themselves. Other new features include the ability to find “related” images to a given shot meaning images from the same shoot or images from different shoots but using the same model or models. Corbis has also redrawn its image categories to make them more intuitive for image researchers.
Corbis has simultaneously introduced five new Rights Managed collections:
Crush – a highly stylized collection with a conspicuous approach to visual communication.
Ivy - a mainstream collection that employs classic techniques and appeals to traditional sensibilities.
Latitude – a commercially ready collection of editorial photography from the world’s best documentary photographers.
Terra – a high-quality collection created for editorial customers with relevant imagery of our world.
Encyclopedia – a comprehensive collection geared for editorial customers dedicated to simple, well-crafted depictions of a wide range of subjects.
