**PROJECT 4 - Refined Prototype**
Jeanna LeClair and Jessica Wang

**Concept and Focus:**
This is a sub-section to the CCCA website where the user is able to collect and organize their research files. Having options of different ways to look, search and add information to their research is the main goal of the site. We want it to be easy to do your research.

We have refined the layout of the site. The navigation sections have been moved from the right hand side to the top, for visibility and navigational purposes. All the icons have been modified so that they are consistent in style and perspective. The positioning of elements such as the search bar and the arrangement of personal piles within the piles section have been modified for better user communication purposes.

**Working Areas:**
//Working Thumbnail Views:// The one thumbnail that works is the first one (the one of the purple devil guy). Once clicked on you go to a more detailed view of the image and can explore further viewing options as well as information. You are ale to add information as well (tags and notes - the adding to a new pile is not available.)
 * The Piles Section:**

//Working Create A New Pile:// This is pretty much the same process as before but more refined. I was unable to understand/get working any of the java scripts I wanted, so Instead of the image gallery I had before I resorted to simple rollover thumbnails. I want you to pretend that the images are actually dragable and that they pile up on each other when you drag them into the box on the side...

//Working Search function:// The function of searching through two different ways (image or words) have been combined. Now when you input keywords into the search bar (i.e., red posters), results shows all the artworks from your collection that are related to the words. No matter if the words exist in the title of the artwork, or is tagged with the words, they all show up at once on the ALL results page. It gives users a quick and clear view of all the artworks available to them. If one wishes to further specify the search, such as looking for artworks that are tagged with the word red or poster, they can click on the links at the top of the results page. On the tags results page, a list related artwork shows up, and below each image, all of the tags that has been associated with the artworks are listed. As the user wishes to further explore the artwork to look at the detailed information about a piece, he/she can click on the thumbnail image in the results page. All the relevant information including the title, artist, date it was created, your tags and other people's tags, links of images,etc.
 * The Search Bar:**


 * Home Page: All links work, including search bar at the top of the page
 * Search Bar: Access Key Enter/Return works, actual searching does not work.
 * Results Page works: All image links work, but only the first image works under different viewing options. All other images are available for viewing in their original sizes.
 * Images on hover changes colour, and gives viewers a signal that it is selected
 * Page numbering at the top and bottom of the page to give users a sense where they are at
 * Create New Pile Page: Drag and Drop does not work
