I’m one of 5 illustrators looking to build a back end for our website.
Here’s the workflow:
Art Director calls with 20 color storyboard frames and 5 just pencil frames. We decide ArtistA will do 12 color frames, ArtistB will do 9 color & ArtistC will do the 5 pencil drawings. Each artist finishes their work and uploads the frames to our server. The Art Director logs in to retrieve their artwork from a page of thumbnails. They can only see their own Jobs. A Report with a percentage breakdown can be generated for the job based on the number of frames each artist did taking into account the value of the type of frame they did. A 1-10 value scale would be established for the various types of frames we do.
Permissions Groups
Admin – Can set the Value Scale and Top Level Tasks
Artists – Can create Jobs linked to Clients, assign Tasks(a number of frames) to themselves and others. Post artwork in the Job. Can generate the percentage Report
Clients – Can download images from the Job. (This is the only Public Facing section, but we’d really like it to be slick but idiot-proof)
Reps – Can see their Jobs and generate the percentage Report
As more of a visual guy, I started thinking about this app from the interface in. I did mock-ups of some Record pages just as a talking point early on, but they will give some insight as to my thoughts
The Hosting server is set up for PHP and SQL
Thanks,
I’m looking forward to hearing from any interested developers

PS.. I’ve also added some rudimentary flow scribbles. They’re included as a possible insight into the “what” I’m trying to do, and certainly not the “how” to do it 🙂
