Online Picture Gallery! Layout research and ideas…

The most common layout I have seen for online galleries is where thumbnails are in a menu form at the side of the page with the larger image being shown to the right when the user clicks the thumbnail. The image details are shown in a top box next to a thumbnail of the chosen image and the title and size are the only information included.

Another layout could be to have thumbnails across the top in a menu form and the main image appears centred underneath in a larger form. The details could be shown under the larger image.

The images could be displayed in a slideshow form and have a navigational arrows either side of the image to allow the user to view them one by one.
