Hey, Hey Hey, Its Me again.
And this time I'm not begging for people to look at entries. Wink

I'm currently working on putting together a web portfolio to show my photography, design and 3D stuff.

I'm trying to decide between using a lightbox type Image display (ThickBox to be specific.) or having an separate page for each image.

Having the lightbox would be easier to set up, simpler, easier to manage content and tidier; whereas the seperate page would be easier to link to. (this would only matter if people actually liked my stuff)

What do you think?

Any other tips/hints/ideas on making a web portfolio is always appreciated.

Well personally I am a fan of the multiple images. Just think it's more fun to look at pics that way. Shocked Wink

Personally I do like the smooth look of the lightbox but the simplest method is the most likely choice to keep people clicking for more.

Generally, if people don't know how to use something, they tend to look for something familiar and easy to use...the path of least resistance.

There's some cool scripts here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/indexb.html

Unless of course you want something more professional. Wink
