There are tons of pics throughout this site! I would suggest taking some time to go through them - I am currently doing this myself and am copying and pasteing the things that I like and the best advice into a word document so I can later print it out and have it all in one spot. If you do this as well, try to go back through after you are done and thank those whose ideas you "stole", and thank those whose advise and tips you used.
Good luck to you and your dad. Remember have fun with it and maybe come up with some of your own ideas.
