Project Overview
Fraser Lands Gallery is an arts ministry at Fraser Lands Church that runs a seasonal art gallery. These galleries would be launched three times a year, collecting artwork done by members of the church in various mediums. Each of these galleries would have a different theme (the first of which was themed for Christmas).
My role in the project was to serve as both a graphics designer and as a web developer. This would entail creating a website that could archive artwork, as well as designing all needed graphics for the project. I remain also responsible for the site's maintenance, and continue to develop new features for the site, the latest of which was support for themes changing with each gallery.

Takeaways
Though simple in theory, the complexities of this project lay in the adaptability that needed to be built into each aspect of it. This brought a new dimension to the project, and became an important practice of adaptability and creative thinking. Each step of this project was solving problems not only for the present, but to anticipate ones that may come as the project expands, and putting systems in place to accommodate them.
Personally, being a part of this project has been an incredibly meaningful experience for me. As the project continues, I'll continue to refine the site's features to allow it to scale with ease.
