Cool Images

Meagan and I are at the stage in creating our website where we are adding in an image gallery, so I thought I'd look to google to find some interesting sites with cool galleries. I came across this site http://weburbanist.com/galleries/, it has some really cool galleries and all images are laid out simply like our site. It even has a galery for banksy. The one that most caught my eye was a gallery for 3D graffiti. The images were interesting and drew me into the site, this made me think that the images we select for our site have to be some of Banksy's best work, we don't want the viewer to be bored looking at the images, we want to make the viewer interested. I was thinking the possition of our images are kind of boring just side by side but after looking at this site I realised that it's the pictures themselves and not the possition of them thats appealing. I am much happier now with our gallery after looking at this one.

Another website I looked at was the clothing site www.asos.com, this site uses zoomify on its images to let the customer view the piece of clothing closer. You point the mouse on to the image and that section of the image is zoomed in on. I think this could be interesting for our gallery because Banksys artwork is really cool when looked at upclose and in detail so me and Meagan might try to add that effect to our image gallery.
