I'm after a few suggestions.. When Looking through a website at posters, would you prefer by decade, genre, size...?

Also how many pages to get to the posters, do the images need to be clickable for a larger pic, and should it have info with it also? or just reasonable size images to just scroll through.

In fact any suggestions would be of great help.

If this is in the wrong section, Jeff do the honours..

I like type (e.g. movie, political) followed by country/foreign, follwoed by sub-genre (war, horror etc) I also like to be able to see old versus new for example, 1960 and below/up I think the best is to have as many options as possible, so you can sort your material, for example, posters under $100, 1 sheets, half sheets etc.

Re the image, i like to see as much info as possible without having to click further - so ideally moving your cursor over a thumbnail which provides an info bubble with price, dimensions etc.

Are ye building urself a poster database lad?

Tis My goal for the year, but it's Jolly confusing.... I was thinking for looking through by Genre, but it seems easier to post/list them by decade...Yikes $:-\$

I like the many options way, so you could do British, or 70's, etc...

Crazy Vick · « **Reply #4 on:** June 23, 2014, 04:35:15 PM »

Is the site meant to be for pleasure or for profit?

paul waines · « **Reply #5 on:** June 23, 2014, 04:41:52 PM »

It's to display what I have, and hopefully help educate a few about British posters. That said everything I have will be going on inc Panto, Circus, Commercials, Video, etc

Eventually the books, mags, stills and other ephemera. I may at some point put some of my doubles on it to sell off...

Very cool Paul!

I always like clicking on an image to get a larger one but if they are big enough to begin with Im happy.

I am a genre guy. Size doesnt matter to me

As for Info with? It is always welcome. Poster knowledge is always good.

We're talking about Paul here. That page 1 will have an infinite scroll.

By decade, director and cast and poster artist.

I'd love to see what you have on your Web Paul. Keep it up..looking forward to the grand opening

Genre then decade. Genre is hard though as so many cross genres.

Ari · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2014, 04:32:09 AM »

Or how you catalogue in your brain. It's a personal site after all.

The catalogue in my brain is most recent to oldest. Might explain innate need to keep buying... poor brain

Actually, a "what's new" section will likely please your regular visitors....looove those 'whats new' sections!

How is your website coming along, Paul?

Did you get the topics and "order of search" all decided and sorted?

paul waines · « **Reply #16 on:** May 10, 2015, 02:38:13 PM »

I've paid for the domain name and a guy to set it up, Jeff. I have now to start photographing everything, which is quite daunting. $:-\$

I need to get my Garage in some kind of order, as I'm going to set up a Photography area. I've bought all the flashes, Magnet board and stuff, so need to
get the place sorted out and tidied. I've a big enough table in there now to lay out the posters. As with all these things time is the killer...

My plan is to get a bunch of stuff on the site to get it going, and then keep adding as I get time to photograph it all. I'll keep you posted as to
when it launches.

Awesome Paul. Best wishes on your site and all the photographing!

Agreed - looking forward to it Paul. I hope you will be able to give a bit of narrative on each poster.
