Style Guide

Goals and Purpose

The purpose of this website is to let people learn about me and see the photographic work that I have produce. This site will also give viewers some insight into where I grew up and the culture I came from.

Audience

The audience of this site will be family and friends, teachers and classmates, potential customers and employers. Family and friends will come to find updates about me and see my photography. Teachers and classmates will come to grade/critique my work and get news ideas and insights. Customers and employers will come to purchase photos and find out about me. The range of ages accessing my site will be anywhere from 16 to 60. This wide range of ages is because photo searchers will be of all ages, while my friends who are my age will also come so see my site. Older people will come as potential employers, family and friends of the family. People coming to this site will be curious, artistic, educated, and professional.

Sections

There will be only 3 main sections to my website:

• Home
  • The home page will have a very short introduction to me and some photos that will cycle automatically to get them interested in my work.
• Gallery
  • The gallery will have multiple sub-galleries to show the different types of photographs I have taken. This page will show 6 thumbnail photos with an option to scroll through them. Each photo will have a separate page for the comments and feedback of the viewers.
• About Me
  • This section will have a picture of me and a bio. I will also have links to a page for my home town, my farm and my family. I will also put my schoolwork links here when class is through.

Content

The main content of this website will be the my photographic art work in the form of a web gallery. It will serve as a location for critique of my photos. Anyone will be able to sign up and make comments about my photos. Future functionality will allow users to upload their own photos with their posts. Along with this I will give some information about myself and my family.

Database & Dynamic content

The database content of this site will be my photos in the gallery and any comments and feedback left by those who register. The size of the gallery and it's sub galleries will be changing as I add more photos to my photo database. These photos will automatically be added to the web gallery. Each photo will have with it a separate comment page. When the photo is clicked a larger copy of the image will load on a separate page along with viewers comments or feedback. This page will also have the form that will allow viewers to give feedback. Viewers may also have to register to leave comments(hopefully deterring inappropriate content).
