A basic question that requires some explanation.
My new web application for displaying and selling clipart and stock photography files is finally ready and I have a question as to what would be the best way to organize the categories for browsers.
I can organize it by the type of work or by the subject matter. so, for example, in a type of work system a browser would click into branches of images that would be divided as
If I do use the Type of Work approach then there will still be subcategories divided up by subject matter. For example: Illustrations / Animals / Wild Animals.
So, if you were browsing, would you rather look a all of one type of work and then click down into subcategories based on subject matter or all of one kind of subject to begin with?
The application can be viewed here although it is still rough looking. It has the initial framework for a Type of Work organization.
Thanx for your feedback.
