06.01.10  |  Sites of the month: May 2010

This month we’re starting something new with user examples. Instead of picking ten examples and crowning one site as “Site of the month”, we’re now featuring the entire group as “Sites of the Month”. We’re making the change because it has become increasingly difficult (borderline impossible, actually) to feature just one site when every example uses different products to achieve different goals. Picking ten is hard enough! One thing won’t change however — we’ll still bring you the most creative, interesting, and inspiring examples shared with us in the hope that it further inspires all SlideShowPro users to not only push our products to greater heights, but to succeed in creating exciting and original web destinations for audiences the world over.

As a way of saying ‘thank you’ for making us look so good, all those included in our “Sites of the month” roundup will receive a free SlideShowPro t-shirt.

05.01.10  |  Top 10 user examples: April 2010

Every day, users of our products share their creations with us. From those submissions we pick the ten most creative, beautiful, and/or unique examples and include them in our monthly newsletter. Whichever site from those 10 stands out just a little more is crowned “Site of the Month”.

SITE OF THE MONTH (April, 2010):

Christina Timis
http://www.cristinatimis.com/
(SlideShowPro for Flash)

This month’s site of the month belongs to Cristina Timis, a Romanian fashion model using SlideShowPro for Flash as part of her all-Flash driven web site. What’s most intriguing about Cristina’s site is the clever, rather unorthodox navigation system which consists of three vertical windows stacked on top of each other. You can scroll your mouse wheel up for full screen images, or scroll down for a huge photo matrix of photos that each popup larger (proportionally scaled versions) of the photos. In both areas you can navigate horizontally as well using custom buttons. SlideShowPro is used for all the large photo viewing, though you wouldn’t know it, for all of its interface has been turned off to bring the designer’s original concept to life.

SITE OF THE MONTH (March, 2010):

Hello Delta
http://hellodelta.net/portfolio.htm
(SlideShowPro for Flash, ThumbGrid, SlideShowPro Director)

Hello Delta (designed by Deluge Studios) features cultural photography of the Mississippi Delta shot by photographer Kallie Dreher. With a range of photos including churches, cemeteries, blues musicians, farms, shacks, landmarks and people, the site is a rich visual treat that celebrates a rural area of the United States rarely seen by outsiders. SlideShowPro ThumbGrid is used to browse album content, while SlideShowPro for Flash is used to display the actual slideshow. The components are augmented with external buttons to navigate forward, backward, and to return to the gallery interface. They’ve also included a clever counter text field that switches between photo numbers and page numbers depending on which interface state is currently visible. Behind it all, SlideShowPro Director is publishing all the thumbnails and slideshow content and provides a convenient system for Kallie to update her portfolio content whenever she wants. There are loads of wonderful images to see as well, so do check it out.

SITE OF THE MONTH:

Ben Pieper
http://benpieperphoto.com
(SlideShowPro for Flash, ThumbGrid)

Ben Pieper is a photographer located in Kansas City, Missouri. He got his start in professional photography shooting for Hallmark, and now runs his own photography studio. His web site, powered by SlideShowPro for Flash and ThumbGrid, offers a full-browser presentation of his portfolio, including many wonderful shots of products and food (speaking of food, check out the Motion section for a fun video). As for presentation, the SlideShowPro player’s interface is turned off and scaled 100%. Alongside it on the right is ThumbGrid, presented in a dock-like fashion. Ben also layered barely-there arrows on top of content to travel backwards and forwards. In all, a really great presentation. Congrats to Ben for a job well done!

You can also switch between different galleries of content with the large buttons positioned underneath. Overall, the site is bold, fresh, and well executed.

Iowa-based graphic design and communication studio Measure is using SlideShowPro for Flash and SlideShowPro Director to present their portfolio of print, editorial, and interactive work online. Underscored with an eye-opening background color animation, SlideShowPro for Flash is floated in the center of the site with a transparent background, a customized gallery icon, and a gallery that uses “Fill” style album previews. Measure has also augmented SlideShowPro for Flash with a caption element pinned to the right-side of the window that dynamically updates with textual content using SlideShowPro’s events. Last but certainly not least, Measure is also using PHP to access SlideShowPro Director’s API on a mobile page that includes selected works.
