Gallery work

After the last post I spent four or five dyas re-working and re-designing the gallery site. I abandoned the designs that I had been working on (I'm re-using these for the art college webpage) I went back to what the site was meant to be: visualy led, easily upadatable and interactive. A hub for other users work. I looked back at the sites that had interested me when I was working on my statement of intent. In particular the two Noise sites http://www.noisefestival.com/ and http://www.noise.net/homepage.asp

The UK site is interesting as it was bulit using Joomla, which I've been working with for the last few months. It's a good example of what can be done with the software. I'm trying to find out what gallery component was used. Joomla works on a system of adaptble plugins and modules. I've sent a couple of e-mails to the site owners and the company who built the site but have not heard anything yet. It's funny this time last year I though it would take forever to build a site like that, now I could have most of it done in a couple of weeks.

Here are some screenshots from the current verison of my site. At the moment I'm using the Flickr4J module which is pulling in images from my Flickr acount. It's an intersesting plugin and actually outputs a nice little gallery. If I could adapt it to show a groups set of photos it might be better than the Zoom gallery.
