PIXHUNTER is a web platform for advertising agencies and image providing companies. The former can - instead of shooting the pictures themselves - post an anonymous request describing the look and feel of the desired image. There's also the possibility to upload sample layouts and to choose from a number of options to create the best description of the image.
The image providing companies on the other side can browse through all requests and - if they have an adequate image in stock - reply to the query by posting an URL to a lightbox or by uploading the image. The searching company then gets a notification about the reply and can choose to buy the suggested image.
PIXHUNTER runs on PHP, Javascript (AJAX) and MySQL.
