[Clipart] Reg clipart detail page design

[chovynz]

Dear Ryan (and specters)

One of the tasks of librarians is to find clipart that have no descriptions
and add them.

Here is an idea for you guys to think about. What if we reduce the used
space even further, by making the entire right column a showable/hideable
clicky thing? The focus of this website is on the clipart right? so why not
make the clipart the main feature? Afterall people click on the detail page
to see the clipart in more detail. Do we need to show them information? Why
not allow them to see the info if they want to or are interested. Why are we
showing stuff that people aren't necessarily interested in?

Ye Ol' cliche. "Less is more." :)

Something to think about.
