A Deep Dive into Domeble’s Image Search Service

Finding the perfect CG backplate or 360 HDRI for a campaign brief is much more time consuming than most of us would like it to be. It is also true that knowing how to find the perfect image in a collection of hundreds of thousands, is both an art and a science, and can often yield suboptimal search results.

In the dynamic world of creative production, where every project demands a uniqueness and originality, it’s often the case that budgets don’t allow full scale productions. This often means using content sources like Domeble is the perfect solution. Using experienced teams that know how to find the right images is based on great knowledge of CGI automotive imagery, and what content will fit the brief.

So how can we find the right image from brand specific search engines? In this blog we’ll try and answer that question and do a deep dive into Domeble’s free image search service.

The Challenges of Traditional Image Searching

In the world of high-level creative production, time is a precious and expensive commodity. Art buyers and creative leads are tasked with delivering exceptional results within tight deadlines, leaving little room for exhaustive image searches. Traditional methods of manually scouring through content libraries often result in frustration and inefficiency. Despite the best intentions and keyword searching skills, valuable time is wasted on navigating through countless images, with no guarantee of finding the perfect match for their project’s unique requirements.

Domeble’s Solution: Bespoke Image Searches

We recognised the need for a more efficient and tailored approach to image searching, and introduced our image search service. Our service represents a paradigm shift in the way art buyers, art directors, and creative leads discover and access visual content. 

Instead of grappling with the complexities of manual searching, it makes total sense to let Domeble take the headache of answering an image brief away from agency art departments and  CG viz artists. We know our collection better than anyone, and our research team can quickly respond to image requests and campaign briefs, maximising production workflows.

Tailored Selections: Curated Search Results

At the heart of Domeble’s Image Search Service lies the art of understanding how to answer a brief, particularly in the automotive CG sector and the requirements of CG backplates and 360 HDRI maps. Art buyers and creative leads no longer need to wade through an ocean of images, instead, they can submit a brief outlining their project’s specific requirements, and aesthetic preferences. Domeble’s team of experienced research professionals then undertakes a meticulous search process, individually selecting a tailored selection of content that matches the brief, and not a bunch of images that are just padding out the search.

Search Efficiency: Saving Time and Resources

Time is of the essence in the fast-paced world of creative production. We understand this, and we also know that by answering an image brief properly, it offers a lifeline to art buyers and creative leads. By requesting an image search request with us at Domeble, clients can focus their energy on more strategic aspects of their projects, confident in the knowledge that their image needs are in expert hands. 

Collaborative Lightboxes: Optimising Workflows

In addition to providing curated image selections, Domeble offers collaborative lightboxes that facilitate seamless collaboration among creative teams. We developed this shared collaborative process internally, when answering briefs that were 360 HDRI search sepecific, and found it inefficient with multiple team members creating their own light boxes. The solution was to have shared light boxes, that meant we could all add images to the same bucket, answering the brief more efficiently, and with more creative options for our clients.

How does it work? Art buyers, art directors, and creative leads can invite team members to contribute, review, and refine the selection of imagery, all from one central image hub, which improves workflow, and fosters a culture of collaboration and creativity. This collaborative approach ensures that all stakeholders have a voice in the image selection process, resulting in a cohesive and compelling visual narrative on the campaign brief.
