Slideshow HW

Transworld Photo Slideshow:
Jay Adams Slideshow:
Sidewalk Skate Gallery:

Slideshows are usually used to enhance the reading experience a person will have with an article by adding pictures to look through.

The first slideshow from Transworld.com was my favorite. It not only had the pictures set up in a format of a video, but it also had sound going in the background while you watch it.

The next slideshow was about Jay Adams’ death. I feel that this one was lacking in overall emotion because there was no sound added. Also, the pictures do not seem to be ones that he would want to be remembered by. They seem thrown in there with no thought as to which photos they were using.
The final one is a gallery of skateboarding photos taken during a competition. This gallery seemed to be pretty well planned.

It had a nicer format that opened up to full screen when viewing the gallery. Having each picture with a little description was nice too so at least you could understand what they were doing.

Overall, I think that these slideshows in particular did not do the best job at telling a story. The only one that told somewhat of a story was the Skateboarding competition gallery because it showed progression throughout the gallery.

I do feel that sound makes a large difference for the effect the slideshow has. If he first slideshow was less random it would have been my favorite because of the music.
