Abstract

Content creation suggestion techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are implemented to generate suggestions that are usable to guide creative professionals in the creation of content such as images, video, sound, multimedia, and so forth. A variety of techniques are usable to generate suggestions for the content professionals. In a first such example, suggestions are based on shared characteristics of images obtained by users of a content sharing service, e.g., licensed by the users. In another example, suggestions are generated by the content sharing service based on keywords used to locate the images. In a further example, suggestions are generated based on data described communications performed using social network services. In yet another example, recognition of failure of search is used to generate suggestions. A variety of other examples are also contemplated and described herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. In a digital medium environment for controlling suggestions for image creation, a system implementing a content sharing service to guide image creation comprising:
a search monitoring module implemented at least partially in hardware to monitor searches initiated by searching users to locate images that are made available via a network by the content sharing service for use by the searching users and determine which of the searches are recognized as having failed based on the searches having been performed a number of times that is over a threshold number and that the searches have resulted in less than a threshold number of results; and
a content suggestion module implemented at least partially in hardware to generate and control exposure of suggestions via a user interface, the suggestions directed to image creators to guide creation of subsequent images, and the suggestions generated based on the determination of the recognized failed searches to expose the image creators to unmet content demand.

2. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the searches are keyword searches used to locate corresponding tags of the images.

3. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the searches are recognized as having failed by a series of search inputs.

4. The system as described in claim 3 , wherein the series of search inputs do not result in a searching user obtaining respective said images for use from the content sharing service.

5. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the content sharing service makes the images available to the searching users by licensing rights to use respective said images.

6. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the content suggestion module is further implemented to generate and control the exposure of the suggestions based at least in part on trends in keywords used by the searching users to locate the images.

7. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the content suggestion module is further implemented to generate and control the exposure of the suggestions based at least in part on shared characteristics of images obtained by the searching users.

8. In a digital medium environment for controlling suggestions for image creation, a method implemented by at least one computing device of a content sharing service to guide image creation, the method comprising:
monitoring searches initiated by searching users to locate images that are made available via a network by the content sharing service and for use by the searching users;
determining which of the searches are recognized as having failed based on the searches having been performed a number of times that is over a threshold number and that the searches have resulted in less than a threshold number of results;
generating suggestions directed to image creators to guide creation of subsequent images based on determination of recognized failed searches to expose the image creators to unmet content demand; and
exposing the suggestions via a user interface configured for the image creators.

9. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the searches are keyword searches used to locate corresponding tags of the images.

10. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the searches are recognized as having failed by a series of search inputs.

11. The method as described in claim 10 , wherein the series of search inputs do not result in a searching user obtaining respective said images for use from the content sharing service.

12. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the content sharing service makes the images available to the searching users by licensing rights to use respective said images.

13. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the generating the suggestions directed to the image creators to guide the creation of the subsequent images is based at least in part on trends in keywords used by the searching users to locate the images.

14. The method as described in claim 8 , wherein the generating the suggestions directed to the image creators to guide the creation of the subsequent images is based at least in part on shared characteristics of images obtained by the searching users.

15. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored thereon instructions that are executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
monitoring searches initiated by searching users to locate content items that are made available via a network by a content sharing service and for use by the searching users;
determining which of the searches are recognized as having failed based on the searches having been performed a number of times that is over a threshold number and that the searches have resulted in less than a threshold number of results;
generating suggestions directed to content creators to guide creation of subsequent content items based on determination of recognized failed searches to expose the image creators to unmet content demand; and
exposing the suggestions via a user interface configured for the content creators.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media as described in claim 15 , wherein the searches are keyword searches used to locate corresponding tags of the content items.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media as described in claim 15 , wherein the searches are recognized as having failed based on receiving a series of search inputs that do not result in a searching user obtaining respective said content items for use from the content sharing service.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media as described in claim 15 , wherein the content sharing service makes the content items available to the searching users by licensing rights to use respective said content items.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media as described in claim 15 , wherein the generating the suggestions directed to the image creators to guide the creation of the subsequent images is based at least in part on trends in keywords used by the searching users to locate the images.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage media as described in claim 15 , wherein the generating the suggestions directed to the image creators to guide the creation of the subsequent images is based at least in part on shared characteristics of images obtained by the searching users.
