For my slide show I really didn’t know what I wanted to do at first so I started to think about cliched phrases hoping to get some kind of inspiration and then it hit me “Patterns of life” so I decided to focus on pictures with not so evident patterns. My designs where meant to be patterns in and of themselves. The circles in the beginning that were arranged in lines to form a pattern and then the stipes that flashed in the same color to form a pattern and then finally the title with the circles arranged symmertically. I see where I went wrong in my slide design however, with the movement of the circles along side the pictures which obviously took the focus away from the pictures but now I know better!

I really enjoyed Jennifer’s “Where am I” Slideshow. The way she made the pictures flip downwards using actionscript really made me sit up in my seat like “WOW! How cool and creative was that!?” Also the creative way she made thee buttons almost seem like points on a subway map and the colors she used to signify the start and the end with green and red respectively also gives it the feel of taking a trip in a car with the idea of stop lights. The beginning was also very creative and the use of alpha was very effective and ofcourse the pictures were very interesting to look at and unlike mine the background did not detract or distract from them.
