The true, update --- All you might need to know. Part 1.

Alright, okay! It looks like .Gamma is holding up ---  So, I figure before I pass-out and wake up after Scrubs has played (fingers crossed I don't) --- let break down what when into this.

Here we go:

Graphers

1. First and foremost --- I've thought long and hard 'bout this --- but I think it makes sense to position 75 with a focus on fotography and not, just pictures nje, but that interpretation of what a photography is to you, is left to what you can formulate with the thousand words.
2. With that said, what I wanted to do is focus primarily on 'the 'grapher and his artwork --- i'm not there yet, but was the driving 'force' behind this 'design.

Photography

1. Firstly, you will notice that, I've used a lot of 'grey' icons --- the reason for that is, the more colours on screen, the less one's eyes focus on the photography --- it's inherent human nature.
2. Now, those very same icons, need a bit o' clean though
3. Black background --- I hate explaining where button's are on the screen --- but you'll notice it to the right of the photograph --- the aim, is that some photographs, just look better on a black back ground.
4. With that said --- the icons-lack-of-decency falls apart when viewing through a black background.
5. "I said bigger" - Chamellion.  Next to that 'black background' there is a zoom 'button' to enlarge the photograph --- it goes to a max of 800px --- anything else eff's with the design, and I am pedentic 'bout design. (oh this also means, original photography is no longer viewable --- bandwidth consumption and piracy*)
6. Previews -- If I am right, anywhere you see a collection of photographs you can preview them --- you'll notice a weird lookin' icon bottom-left (screems JamAlley contestant) of a every thumbnail in that collection.
7. That preview  begged the question of the need of a 'slide show' --- they will be put into the books, when the 'books get openned'

Profile

Firsly, I'd like to apologise for 'loosing' everybody's 'web address' --- the script I ran to update the DB was an old one with an error --- I will work it tomorrow (the old DB is still there)

1. Messages --- that messenging thing magic is on --- the catch is You+Friend have to be contacts to each other to be able to communicae --- as things are (such is the world of half-dropp't products) --- you won't know if somebody did, unless you go /contacts/requests
2. Ipso, facto contacts covered, ja?
3. How to add a contact --- if you are logged in, every single person is up for "grab's" --- the 'orange' plus sign below their icon --- just because you can add somebody as a contact, does not mean, they will accept yours --- just know that.  I understand pple 'value' their anonymity, I'd hate to violate that.

UI/Design

1. Firstly, the brand ID had to change --- I couldn't move far from the original one, but I need something clean ---
2. The 'tag' line had to go: 'everyday photography' --- sounded like I was trying to win a tender --- I'm still working on the 'a new tagline', but for now, 'photography' would do.
3. Why orange and blue? I realised 'brown' links are hard to see, in a see of black fonts ---

Notes

1. Well, you see, I thought since we 'love' photography --- we might wanna share that photography --- I think Bra Dan did post something about 'metering' light and the likes --- but got deleted or the system needs checking.
2. Again, the focus in on 'Graphers --- only they can 'write' notes --- at any given time.

-------------- err, err, I'm loosing my chain of thought.  I continue this when I've fully rested and fresh.

Oh -- no support for Internet Explorer 6 and lower --- the effort it would take to make this work on that browser is more than it would a person to upgrade their browser to Internet Explorer 7 (or even better dowload firefox?)

A celebration is in order, je suis pense.  Any problems you sport, please Say Hello[at]75.co.za

Good good day, and good nite. (I apologise in advance for bad grammar and spelling --- I'm way to 'out of mind' to know what is right or wrong) *hugs and kisses <-- see?

1ove, moving along.
