New maori tattoo gallery optimized for Ipad and Iphone

Hi,

I recently bought an Apple Ipad2 and use it mainly for shooting pictures and recording movies of the design process. I can easily add these photos to my twitter messages (@storm3d) and upload the movies to Youtube.com in a few clicks. It's also very usefull for quickly browsing the web...

There's only one big downside to Apple products, and that's the fact that Apple doesn't support the Adobe Flash plugin. For my website galleries, I use(d) the "simpleviewer" plugin, that creates a really nice and simple Flash gallery with a thumbnail and a larger image next or above it.

Now I use my Ipad, I see that a lot of mobile visitors cannot see the designs in my gallery, so I had to make changes to it.

My website design is based on the principles of the "Save the Pixel" e-book by Ben Hunt, which states that the design should be as simple as possible and every pixel should contribute to the main goal of the website.

Keeping this in mind, I redesigned the tattoo galleries. Here's a picture of the 'before' gallery:

People could scroll through the images and see the number and price of the design.

Before ordering it, customers had to select the correct tattoo nr. from the dropdown list and hit the "Buy Now" button.


People often selected the wrong tattoo and bought the piece they didn't want.



To get rid of this problem I decided to implement the Lightbox plugin/script to my gallery instead of the simpleviewer movie.
One other advantage was that I could add the size and price of the design in the header/description and even add a Paypal button, so it became impossible to order the wrong tatoo design.

The new gallery is now looking like this, with the lightbox frame popping up:

So if you have an Ipad, Ipod or Iphone, please check it out and let me know if there's anything I can change to improve it.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

temporary tattoos designs pictures gallery ideas lower back

Temporary tattoos designs pictures gallery ideas lower back for Designing your custom tattoo is as simple as submitting the logo you already use and including information like your address, website and social media sites. But there are a few things to keep in mind when designing a temporary tattoo business card. Make sure to take full advantage of every element a temporary tattoo has to offer by keeping these two things in mind:



  1. Full-color logo on the front -
    A corner store front: $7500 a month. Ad in the local paper: $125. Your logo as a temporary tattoo: priceless. A temporary tattoo in and of itself draws attention, whether it is applied or not. It sparks interest and conversation. This is why it's a great (and inexpensive) tool for promoting your brand.


    Generally, printers of temporary tattoos use a 4-color process. This means that you won't pay extra for color and the logo on the front of your tattoo will be your custom business colors.

  2. Custom back - A little known fact is that the back of the tattoo is just as customizable as the front. Take full advantage of this by including the company address, website and social media information. Keep in mind that this information will appear in black and white, not color like the front.


Most temporary tattoo business cards are not meant to be applied. After all, who really wants to wear the GEICO gecko or the picture of a local real estate agent? Some may apply the tattoo for fun, but most will leave it on their desk, post it on a bulletin board or give it to a friend. Temporary tattoos are fun and unique: that is why they're kept and passed around. As a marketing tool, that equals more impressions.
