Slideshows/Photo Gallery

Tour de France
This slideshow was a bunch of pictures of a guy in France, and many of the famous attractions there. It had a slow French song playing in the background that made it seem a little sad, whereas I think it was meant to be captivating. With the song in the background the number of pictures displayed was limited, whereas the one with just the pictures seemed like it could on forever. However, I thought this was a little more effective than just the slideshow because the multiple things (music and pictures) kept my attention better. Sound really sets the emotional mood to go along with the pictures.

Massive Earthquake Strikes Chile
This was a slideshow of 793 pictures of the aftermath of the earthquake in Chile. The pictures conveyed what was going on, and what I like about them most was you clicked to go on to the next one, so you could look at each picture as long as you wanted to. With just the pictures, and no sound, the pictures alone influence your mind, so you get to more purely understand the pictures.

Zoom-Worthy Academy Award Photo Gallery
This was a bunch of pictures of people from the Academy Awards. The cool part about it was that you could zoom in on the pictures to catch flaws, so we can all see that celebrities have flaws too. I thought it was a really cool setup, though it didn't really tell a story.
