Is the right module for the job?

Taxonomy_image has grabbed my interest.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I'm developing a site that will host user-submitted content as articles. I am planning on using the Article module to facilitate this. User submits content and it will all show up on the Articles page. However, I want to have images with those articels. Two, in fact.

I need a standard image that will serve as a header image for the article, but need to use that same header image on the Articles view page, as an image-based menu (when someone clicks on 'Articles' I want them to see a list of images; they click on an image to go to the article).

I also need to have an alternate image for each article that is smaller than the header image. I want to display that image on the front page of the site. When visitors and users are at the front page, they'll see a 'Latest Articles' block that shows an image of the latest article, NOT it's title. Then I would like all but the latest article to show their titles, not their image.

So, would taxonomy_image help solve this?
