Illustration icon
A tiny little Mona Lisa to sit beside idea titles, visible on the recent list | |
I love seeing the illustrations the FarmerJohn et al come up with, and would love to be able to see which ideas are illustrated on some of the main pages.

Hmmm, interesting to see that no-one who boned it gave a reason. |
|

Farmer John *is* an illustration icon! [+] |

This may result in illustrated ideas being given a greater exposure, forcing other ideas down within whatever view or filter a user is, er, using. It might also upset the carefully maintained aesthetic of the overview and recent views. |
|
| |
I did not vote this idea down, though I should say that were it implemented I would, if possible, elect to filter the icon from my views. |
|
| |
Any true halfbaker will read them all anyway, icon or not. + from me. |
|
| |
If this were done at all it would be best, in my opinion, if it were confined to just an extra parameter in the views setup as opposed to an icon. |
|
| |
does anyone illustrate anymore? :( |
|
| |
I've been dragging my feet on this. Technical quality, personality, sense of humor - it seems inevitable that any new illustrator will end up compared to bristolz and losing. |
|
| |
Sometimes a sketch does help. I'm fully aware that mine are crap, but it can be very difficult to explain an idea without a diagram. I empathise with the respect for [bristolz] though.
There's nothing to stop people posting links to their own pictures, is there? |

Most patents without illustrations would be halfbaked. |
|
| |
Halfbakery used as a search term in uspto got 93 hits. |
|
| |
"Results of Search in US Patent Collection db for:
halfbakery: 93 patents.
Hits 1 through 50 out of 93 " |

They used to require working models. |
|
| |
No doubt it's part of the prior art search that's
undertaken to determine if an invention is original or
not. An idea posted on the Halfbakery could very well
prevent someone from patenting something similar in
the future. |
|
| |
It'd be sort of amusing to come up with a few ideas
that are reasonably practical with a fairly broad
scope of application, and give them obscene titles in
the hopes that one of them ends up in a patent
application for all eternity. |
