Ideas for a project blog ?!

    Can someone help me with this scenario:
    A project blog. (for designer / architect)
    Three categories: news, gallery and projects.
    News category like any blog. Some images as eyecandy, but mostly text. new entries in gallery and projects category get “announced” on news page with a short intro text and maybe preview image. Feedback on articles. This is the index page.
    Gallery category, a collection of images with some text. Probably best not done with WP, but with Gallery script or something similar.
    Project category, something of a hybrid. More images as illustrations thrown into the text than in a blog, but more text than in a gallery. Also different layout to gallery or blog.
    … while I am writing this. I notice that I am not absolutely clear myself of what this project category should do. template based design is probably too rigid for the best presentation of very different projects with their specific points of interest.
    Maybe someone has a link to a designer/architect blog which smoothly and flexibly integrates visual and textual information.
    Maybe someone has already done this with WP?
    still searching.

    This article might be a good start for seperating the categories onto different pages. Then you could divide the problem of how to display text/images into different .php and maybe even different .css files.

    Thanks for the link. The tutorial partially covers my problem, and may come in handy later.
    For now I guess I will do the project pages as a series of static minisites, with their own index and additionally link them from the news page as if they were external links.
    Same with the gallery pages, only that these will be done with Gallery script.

    I found one site which maybe illustrates what I am looking to do, except that I would run it with only a few users, not as a community site:
