Bookstore ideation

CONCEPT
A while ago I created a bookstore site in PHP for MIS 314. The site functions well, but the design is not portfolio worthy. I plan to redesign the site from the ground up. This will include entering new books in the database to create a limited and unique product line.
Currently, the site features a very small database of books about web development. I am planning on creating a new database of books that have to do with all areas of graphic design. I decided to choose this topic both because it is something I am familiar with and because many of these books have visually interesting and well designed cover art.
WORD LIST
modern, bright, colorful, graphic, geometric, patterned, stand out, eye catching, bold, saturated
SITE MAP
Since the structure of the site already exists, I mostly need to focus on the book categories I would like to include in the browse menu:
- general
- typography
- layout
- color
- production
- web design
- motion
- professional practices
- thinking
- illustration
- logo/branding
