Reflection

Picture Life was an interesting project I took on, venturing in to php and jquery was a main thought to progress further than static sites and also to gain more knowledge in to them. The overall design at the end was what i wanted to achieve and I would not change it. Userbility is very limited and something i will be addressing for the 3rd year. PHP script is on going for my own education and its use is vast and is an integral part of a web site, static sites are more like a cork board you have in your kitchen for information only. Owners of sites realise that to get the customer/user to interact and find an interest in their site then dynamic site it will be.

My reasurch was not as varied as I intended, I joined 3 flash forums putting questions regarding flash V jQuery and the response was poor. Several Photographers I emailed never replyed, So with this in mind I will be looking at gaining reasurch from a different angle, I never did 1 to 1 meets with photographers or flash users so this was an error on my behalf.

Userbility was missing crop tool and more freedom for the user to custom therre account and images, missing where delete and update options which gave the user limited use of the site.

Overall the project was a success with a far better understanding of the structor of php within a gallery and also the introduction to jQuery to my works.
