Package image chooser — Plutino EPS

Plutino EPS · Sender-side control · Prototype 10 Aug 2026

Which book opens. Which image represents it.

Two separate facts, decided on one screen. Today the builder offers four artist-level thumbnails that ignore the book being sent, sitting next to a book dropdown with nothing to explain how the two relate. This prototype replaces the thumbnails with the book’s real gallery and states the relationship outright: choosing an image never changes what opens.

This is the section being redesigned

In the current New Jobsheet builder, the Book to open dropdown sits directly above four small, unlabeled Package image choices. The prototype below replaces this exact block inside each selected-talent card — not the entire Jobsheet form.

Three rules the interface has to keep

Destination is never a side effect

The book is chosen in the builder card and shown with its live URL. The chooser displays the destination but cannot set it — there is no control for it inside the picker.

Picking an image from a different book is allowed, and says so plainly: “from Beauty — Grooming still opens.”

Changing the book leaves the image alone

Switch the destination and the representative image stays exactly as it was. The card raises a decision instead of acting: keep this image, or pick from the new book.

Nothing is silently rewritten in either direction.

Real images, real proportions

Every thumbnail here is a live Plutino image pulled from the artist’s published book — portrait, square and landscape all render at their true ratio, never cropped to a uniform tile.

The chooser shows twelve at a time with the rest one click away, so a 176-image book never arrives as a wall.

Prototype only — nothing here is wired into the live EPS application. Images, artist names, book names and per-book counts are read from plutinogroup.com as published on 10 August 2026. Talent shown: Jukka, Christal Williams, Rodney Smith and Mary Mammoliti, with the cross-artist library drawn from Angela Lee, Ian Russell, Sheri Stroh, Taylor Chousky, Jess Mori and Liam Lewis.
