Redesign UPdate: IMPORTANT Image Changes, Follow Artists, and Ongoing Event Fix

The following improvements are important to review as they may affect your work flow AND may have been something you requested!

Image Changes

We apologize for any confusion regarding appropriate image dimensions. We've changed some of the necessary dimensions and want to make them clear.

Hero -> Photo

The space formerly known as hero and now the photo has been resized for not only events but ALSO artist, venue, and user pages.

Dimensions: 1200x450
The photo is automatically cropped to center faces

A reminder about how EVENT photos will be chosen:

Manually added*
Headliner (top artist) photo
Venue photo

*This is currently by default BUT you can request a specific scraper fix to input scraped images as the "photo" as opposed to the poster.

Poster

Posters show below event description on event pages.

Dimensions: at least 450 w, no height requirement
Posters less than the required width will not display

A reminder about how EVENT posters will be chosen:

Manually added
From scraper

Search Results/Latest

The images at the top of your Search Results and Latest pages now display your default photo.

Dimensions same as all photos! 1200x450

Header

The header across the top of your site has not changed, but just to lay out all image specifications:

Dimensions: 1200x125

Justin created this handy dandy visual to explain it all:

User Image Guidance

Many of you noted that it was not clear to your users creating events the difference between a photo and a poster. As an answer, we input guidance directly within the event creation process. Check it out!

Other Sweet Fixes

You can select to "Follow Artists" in the event activity feed.
Ongoing events now show their FULL date range until they are officially past.
You can now see your new site in all its splendour on older versions of Safari!
