I decided to make my slideshow Twilight themed because I am a huge fan of the series. Here, I created a slideshow that takes you through the story of Twilight in 10 frames. I think the graphics I created for the slideshow is what worked best. I decided to give it a gothic or dark theme to go with the overall theme of the story pertaining to vampires. In retrospect I think I could have given it a better introduction. I give it a small animation in the beginning (images and text sliding into frame) but I think I could have done something a little more creative with it.

Overall I accomplished my goal for the slideshow. I wanted to give everyone a little taste of something I enjoy in a beautiful way and I think that came across.

Just to note again: the music doesn’t play here because I linked it externally. By linking externally, the music isn’t compressed and sounds better than putting it in the .fla library.

Another person’s slideshow that I did enjoy was Liat’s ‘Reflections in Puddles’. The animations used were very creative and goes along well with the theme of puddles and raining. The intro music also fits the overall theme. I also really like the way you can navigate through the pictures and the actionscript behind it. The transitions used to go from picture to picture are professional and eye catching. Overall a lovely slideshow!
