I work a graphic designer, not a coder, so I'm looking for some extra help to get a little project off the ground.
Basically I'm making an image rating site, but the images are only rated by one user (admin). The main functionality is to have a backend where images can be uploaded, and are added in chronological order. Each image needs to have text that displays below it (I'm assuming in a MySQL database but I am open to other options).
This job could be bigger and if you work well with me, I will have other projects in the future.
I'm looking for a designer who can understand the project, doesn't mind talking by phone if need be (although I prefer an instant messaging service), and contributes ideas to improve the site.
I've attached an image of what the site will look like, so that you can get a better idea.
Please let me know if you have any questions or interest.

For the backend, I would suggest php scripts with a MySQL database that stores information about the image in table columns and the image itself on the local filesystem (ie in a secure directory of the webserver outside the document tree). The database will hold information only about the directory where the image is saved and not the image itself.
A slightly different approach is to store the uploaded image file in a blob column of the database, as a binary. This is considered (slightly) more secure because if the webserver machine is compromised, the MySQL database itself is still a line of defence. The downside here is that the backend system will be slower. It is faster for the webserver to grab a file from the local filesystem, as opposed to a database column.
The text (dynamic content) that you want to show with each image should go inside the database (a text column).
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi Anders,
I'd be keen to chat further about the project. Can you provide an email address / contact details?
