"Yellow Petal is the online portfolio of Autumn Johnson and Raechel Haller."
Yellow Petal is a simpler website that serves as an online portfolio for the clients. It uses Drupal to manage photography, editing, and design samples. The design makes heavy use of Drupal's taxonomy feature by classifying content into pages and columns. The classification is used to display content at specific locations on the page using the views module (see image 1).
For displaying portfolio samples, the jQuery based script Thickbox was used. Although harder to use than a program like Gallery 2, Thickbox is extremely lightweight, straight forward, and well suited for a not so dynamic portfolio site. Because the images are the property of the clients, and due to the ease of copying digital media, it was necessary to apply a watermark. Applying watermarks is done through a simple custom module which allows the uploading of watermark source images (see image 2). The source images can then be laid over any images uploaded through Drupal's already exist file attachment system. When an image is watermarked, the original is copied into a secure location that cannot be accessed from the web.
Technologies: Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL, Drupal (including these modules: CCK, JavaScript Tools, Content Templates, Webform, Views, and a custom watermarking module), XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Thickbox
