# Loqi [David Shanske] For the last day of Chanukah, I dug into the archives for this polaroid. https://david.shanske.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Untitled-125.jpg

[tantek] thanks GWG, I added your example with some observations: https://indieweb.org/throwback#David_Shanske
# [tantek] GWG, makes sense. noted your question in brainstorming and feel free to add more thoughts! https://indieweb.org/throwback#Design

# [KevinMarks] you could put a vintage filter on the throwbacks, or photo corners
# [KevinMarks] well you could make them look they're in a scrapbook, or have the white borders polaroids or old prints have
# 
gRegorLove Neat idea
# gRegorLove CSS I'd imagine
# [KevinMarks] that kind fo thing, I was thinking yes. You can do 'aged' photos with css filters too, though thats a bit odd
# 
KartikPrabhu using CSS grid
# KartikPrabhu or flexbox
# [jgmac1106] @gwg sorry I did not mean to leave you hanging
# [jgmac1106] flexbox is most dead simple way, how I teach my students to make grids to start: https://jgmac1106edu106.glitch.me/myportfolio.html
# [tantek] here's one with a different looking design: https://www.michaels.com/anamosa-family-photo-album-by-recollections/10409617.html
# [jgmac1106] yeah true...and I make them draw everything on paper first should have started there
# [jgmac1106] first day of class you get three blank pieces of paper...by the end it should be your website...was harder in COVID
# [jgmac1106] but are you going to do it in WordPress? Can you add grid to a theme easily?
# [jgmac1106] oops to devy back to thinking about the desing
# [tantek] haha the cover is a bit cliché on this one however it's worth looking inside at the layout they have for a mix of portrait and landscape photo prints: https://www.michaels.com/silver-happiness-photo-album-by-recollections/10409579.html
# 
GWG So, this would be for /kind/photo
# [jgmac1106] here is mine: https://jgregorymcverry.com/iwcnyc2019 gRegor is better at the landscape v portrait stuff. He and schmarty are who I copied

# [jgmac1106] sorry about the line spacing, still playing with my typography....that is one design I can't translate well from what I want to reality
# KartikPrabhu [tantek]: by grid I assumed it was a literal grid, hence I suggested CSS Grid or flexbox
# KartikPrabhu if you want fancier designs then you might have to sketch it on paper. I do it directly in CSS for my photos
# KartikPrabhu [tantek]: the example link I gave does use a masonry layout
# KartikPrabhu see^ the simplest is a Grid from the css-tricks link I posted
# [jgmac1106] Gwg I put my idea into dev
# [jgmac1106] I use this: https://gridbyexample.com/examples/
