"Clean" and "simple" gallery designs

[Mattinblack]

Lol at Alex.... cant see the fur for the trees good one. The thing the gallery most resembled for me was scenes from the Blair Witch Project! Just required a bit more mist and odder camera angles....

Seriously its good just a bit .... well off. Difficult to explain. Try surfing some galleries that made it on the Hun for a half hour then look at yours... you will probably get the same feeling. Whats in the thumbs and their size is very important and many people dont pay enough attention to them. If you have a restricted range of content you use then rather than reduce the whole image to a thumb crop it to the interesting/graphically/sexually exciting part first then reduce it. For example take the fourth picture from the left on the top row, I would crop it so that it only contained her face, breasts and hairy armpit before thumbnailing. The limb shots I would group at the end. Faces are good in thumbnails!

Its possible to get galleries using the same content accepted 2-3 times in a year just with differently cropped and edited thumbs and a different 'feel' to the pages if you are short of content you can use, but fresh content is king!
