Subject: "Create Album" Feature for Artist Galleries


wblack ( ) posted Sat, 29 May 2010 at 10:58 AM · edited Sat, 25 January 2025 at 7:26 PM

Would it be possible to offer a "Create Album" option for artist galleries? 

This would greatly enhance presentation, allowing artists who create series of inter-related works, or sequentially ordered works, to categorize and feature these works in a way not currently available.

I don't know what other's opinions would be, but I consider myself to be filling a gallery and not adding pages to an album. A sampling would, at best, be a portfolio but I would be uncomfortable having albums made of my gallery work.  Maybe there is a better way to pull catagories together - say, by using like keywords for things and pulling them up in a search?

MrsLubner,

 You misunderstand the concept -- the idea is to have sub-folders within your own gallery.

This would be an organizational tool --  one which is controlled entirely by you, the artist.

You yourself, as the artist, would have control over the number of sub-folders and what they contain -- not anyone else.

This has nothing to do with making any compendium of other artists works, or allowing anyone other than you display your work.

To expand on that point: some of us are not just "filling a gallery."

Some of us are creating specific threads of work which need to be categorized within our own bodies of art as stand-apart projects.
If this were offered as a feature, the option to create these sub-folders would create the opportunity for artists to present these stand-apart projects as individual and separate, self contained, works.

I see key-word searches as an insufficient alternative to the basic functionality of a sub-folder system.

I see. Well, perhaps there is a way to do that, but I do that now by keywords.

Consider the artist who creates individual graphically illustrated stories -- there are many on-line users here who do just this.

With the option of sub-folders these works could be set off, each with an easily identifiable, click-able, thumbnail and title heading.

I believe this would provide a cleaner presentation and allow other viewers the means to quickly and easily distinguish these stand-alone sub-folders, or to browse through the selection of sub-folders, all without the need to perform a series of keyword searches.

I think this approach yields two benefits, one being ease of organization for the artist, and the other being ease of access for the viewer.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list :)
