photos into groups

we had been sent around 40 images of various designs from the external client. I had to rearrange these photos into groups so they could be easily found and accessible for the others to use. these five groups were:

. Cup cakes
. Black coloured designs
. Red coloured designs
. Solitary designs
. Group collections

as there was quite a large selection of images that can be used some of these fitted into two categories so there are a few images in more than one folder.

I chose these categories to use because I thought these would make finding the image you want reasonably easy.

I chose to add the cup cake folder because there were a lot of images with cupcakes involved either with the design being used to hold a cupcake or with the image having the cupcake in the design.

I chose to add the category of "black coloured designs" because there were quite a few images that used the colour black for the design. This was the same reason i decided to create the category of "Red coloured designs"

I chose to create the category of "solitary designs" because a large number of the images involved just one design. As there may be a tab added for solitary designs on the webpage, with this category the pictures will be perfectly accessible because they will all be together.

The other category that i have added is "group collections" I thought that this would be a very important category to include because there were a lot of images involving more than one design being included.

In my opinion these categories will be sufficient for everyone to find the images that they are going to need.
