A better way to organize deviations?
*Orioto
reports, May 7, 2008
reports, May 7, 2008So, i was talking about that in a journal and people seems to find the idea interesting. It's my first news anyway !
The actual way of organizing content is somewhat not perfect, cause it links two things that should be independant : genre and tech of an image.
Those two aspects shoudn't be linked for two reasons. Firstly, pratically, it makes some impossible matchs, as for me for exemple, who can't have a fanart photomanipulation category, as it just doesn't exist !
Secondly, ideologically, genre and tech should never be linked in any way. I'll take the animation exemple. People have the tendency to consider animation as a genre, and it reduce the scope of it. Animation is a technical aspect, but every genres can be represented by it. That's why the genre of an image shouldn't be associated by force to a technical style.
The thing i propose is really simple, and would greatly simplify the browsing ans submiting. Let's have two distinct and independant categorization in the submiting process. The genre, and the technical style. So a fanart can be anything, or a portrait, or a design... And the browsing would just be about chosing a genre, and, or (or not) a technical style.
