Create custom image graphics for result page types

[fontnerd]

If someone can get me a concrete list of result types (books, objects, documents, etc), I could get working on these graphics. And I already have the books icon (not used on the home page)!

It seems to be easy to get media type, we might need to ask the API providers where to look for more specific information e.g. types of text like book, document, etc.

DPLA Source Resource Types (http://dp.la/info/developers/codex/responses/field-reference/):

• text
• image
• sound
• moving image

Europeana Media Type Facets 'A broad classification of objects into five material types that users may find useful for filtering purposes' (http://www.europeana.eu/portal/api-data-structure.html#Facets)

• text
• image
• sound
• video
• 3D

We probably need our own limited taxonomy and use one image for multiple
types or for equivalent terms (e.g. sound/audio).

Are there types other than these or should we run with them?

text (which covers books, documents, manuscripts, etc and seems to be about as much detail as we'll get from most APIs)
image (photographs, paintings)
sound
video
3d (presumably sculpture, buildings and maybe in the future shape files etc?)

[fontnerd]

I can work with these. Is this something we'd like to have done before the
next deployment? I work well with deadlines. :)

It'd be great if we did, as I'm not sure what the plans are beyond a big push for a release by the end of September (assuming I'm remembering the date right). How does that work for you, allowing time for implementation and tweaking?
