Hy,
I'm a newbie when it comes to Drupal, i've experimented with some modules and wrote a small module myself. But now i'm designing a new website for an organisation and to be honest, after hours of research i still don't know what modules to use. :(
the website should have, some basic pages, a photo gallery with the possibility to upload multiple photos at once, news messages, a calendar, a download page for documents, some sponsor images on the home page, a page for job offers which are also listed on the home page.
i also need permission settings for members, a site admin, the photographer,...
i had hoped to find some websites where it's described on how to make this work, or could you tell me which modules i can use.
thanx :D

I think you are going to get
I think you are going to get a lot of this functionality from core Drupal.
My advice is to think about the content types you are going to need and start constructing those.
Like I said, the only module I can think of that you'll need for all that is the Date module.
Once you have your content types you can set up the permissions on who can view/edit/update/etc them. Again with core functionality.
Then I would start thinking about displaying the content. The Basic pages, News and Job offers I think are pretty straight forward. No modules necessary. For the calendar (the calendar view of events); take a look at the Calendar module.
I did not include the Photo Gallery or Downloads in my list of content types partly because I am less familiar with those aspects of Drupal and partly, because I think a lot depends on how you want to manage those assets. Are they nodes or fields on a node? Either way you will probably want Views and you might want Media.
