The client specified a flash gallery. It had been discussed that the images would pop up in a way similar to that of the bottles on the feel good drinks website.
However a plugin gallery using Polaroid’s was found and it was thought that this would be a better option as it ties in with the site theme more successfully. This idea was aborted as the hosting the client has gone with blocked the application and I could not find a way around this problem. However the idea of using Polaroid’s was kept.
An open source Polaroid stack gallery was found and adapted to display homemade images however after much work on actually getting the gallery to work the client decided she in fact wanted to return back to a more simplistic grid layout.

The final layout therefore consists of a grid of Polaroid’s which when you click on one brings up lightbox with captions for the photos.
