*Please have some (approximately 10) images to work with. 
You could also find a video or two (on YouTube or Vimeo). 

When planning your CSS styles, start by coming up with a limited color palette. 
Think about how the overall color scheme can complement the artwork that you will be displaying on the webpage.
