SlideShowPro News

05.01.08 | ChrisVector.com

Cristiano Siqueira, aka ChrisVector, uses SlideShowPro for Flash on his simple, elegant portfolio site to show off his incredible collection of vector illustrations and Photoshop wizardry. Chris is using the "Fill" Album Preview Style for his gallery, which allows an image to be used for each album element. He also removed the stroke that surrounds the component (through Content Area Stroke Appearance) to give his content clean edges all around. The navigation is styled with a muted gray with a hint of green, and the navigation icons are styled white with the shadow/bevel effects removed for a flat look. The link preview popups load a separate group of thumbnails that are purposely desaturated for a unique look. And finally, a drop shadow was applied underneath the SlideShowPro instance on the timeline (not something that's built into SSP, in case there's confusion) to lift the presentation off the page.

In all, very well executed and with tons of amazing, creative content to explore. Check it out.

04.07.08 | Taz Goldstein

One of the more unique customizations of SlideShowPro for Flash, the video portfolio site of LA based director Taz Goldstein has a clever layout and great content to match. The layout slices an image of Taz in two, with the top area comprised of a SWF, and the bottom being regular HTML. The SWF loads with a darkened version of the top half of the photo, then SlideShowPro for Flash appears with the same image as the first, but at full brightness, textual navigation cues set inside, and a tad shorter so that the darker version still shows underneath the navigation (which has its background alpha set to semi-transparent. From there the image changes to videos to present three pieces from Taz's portfolio, of which the second one is really quite funny -- especially for fans of the 70s Battlestar Galactica (of which I most certainly am). Check it out!

03.19.08 | Alex Rapada Photography

Simple, clean, and beautiful, Alex Rapada's portfolio site is using SlideShowPro for Lightroom on multiple pages of his website to showcase his work. The home page rotates between two "welcome" images, while the rest of his portfolio is divided up into topics for fashion, weddings, people, and life. The slideshow in each topic area uses the "Random" Content Order option, the "Numbers" navigation style, and removes all of the strokes and background color from the component for a sophisticated look. The transition style is "Fade to Background," and the timer element is positioned inside each photo (instead of the content area, where a white timer wouldn't have been visible) by setting Feedback Timer Position to "Inside Content." A simple, effective presentation. Lots of great portfolio work to check out as well.

03.12.08 | Elena Kulikova

Photographer and model Elena Kulikova is using SlideShowPro for Flash on a number of pages at her web site, including most notably the Fashion gallery. SlideShowPro is sized nice and large, with images used for the album previews in the gallery that contain the album title set inside the images using the typeface of the site (a similar look can be obtained without adding text to the graphics by using the "Banner" Album Preview Style in SlideShowPro, and embedding a typeface for them to use). The photography is beautiful, and the crisp white/blue theme is very clean and pleasurable. Tons of amazing images, so be prepared to stay a while.

Note: some of the photography may be considered NSFW, depending of course on where you work, so be advised.

03.04.08 | Mavada

Web design and development company Mavada is using SlideShowPro for Flash and SlideShowPro Director to manage and display multiple slideshows and interactive product overviews throughout their beautifully designed web site. You wouldn't know it, but SlideShowPro is powering their portfolio overview, which includes SWF animations of their work and (through some fancy ActionScript) automatically moves the slideshow forward when each animation completes. You can also jump directly to a particular case study through the tabs on the right. SlideShowPro is also used on their tools page, where a clever side-navigation of software boxes is used to load particular SWF animations, as well as all of their client case study pages, including this one for product design company PDu. Here, more SWF animations are used, but they're using SlideShowPro's built-in auto-playback timer to step through / loop the product screenshots. Beautiful work all around.

02.22.08 | Shannon Jensen

It's always interesting to see what Flash developers who know their way around ActionScript can do with SlideShowPro for Flash, and photographer Shannon Jensen is no exception. Shannon's portfolio uses SlideShowPro, but you won't see the component anywhere. Instead, Shannon is hiding SlideShowPro and leveraging the data and imagery it loads from SlideShowPro Director to construct her own navigation and playback system (based on the experimental "Filmstrip" demo we offer on the SlideShowPro for Flash download page). Shannon is also dynamically resizing imagery according to the browser window size by manipulating the size of the (unseen) SlideShowPro for Flash instance. And to top it all off, some really great photography in there as well. In all, one of the more creative (and advanced) uses of the component around.

02.15.08 | Lazarides Design + Construction

Home builder Lazarides Design + Construction is using SlideShowPro on their web site to showcase their portfolio of architectural work, which includes a wide variety of luxury home styles. LD+C uses the Album Preview "Fill" style to show a large example of each style, plus titling inside the image. They also swapped out the default navigation of SlideShowPro with their own custom buttons that match the color / style of their web site. Great looking site overall as well.

01.20.08 | Jason Miles Kirk

Photographer Jason Miles Kirk has a clever implementation of SlideShowPro for Flash on his portfolio site. Instead of using the gallery as a collection of albums (with each album containing multiple images), Jason built his gallery so that each "album" is actually only a single image, and then used a thumbnail of that image as the album preview. The result? A grid of images that all appear to be part of the same collection. Jason then took things a step further by turning off SlideShowPro for Flash's embedded navigation (set "Navigation Appearance" to "Hidden"), and added left/right arrow buttons outside of the component that load the next album in sequence when clicked. Last but certainly not least, he uses the onImageRoll() / onImageData() events to display his own external caption that layers over slideshow content when engaged with the mouse. Nice work Jason!

12.27.07 | 360icon

360icon is home to an collection of stunning, ethereal panoramas that capture empty buildings and desolate landscapes. 360icon uses QuickTime for most of their panoramas (so they can be rotated), but for their "Equirectangular" gallery they're using SlideShowPro for Flash to present static panoramas that expose the entire dynamic range of 360-degree imagery in flat 2D.

12.09.07 | Lorne Resnick Photography

The portfolio site for photographer Lorne Resnick is full of beautiful photography divided up into seven sections. Each section loads its own instance of SlideShowPro for Flash, and each are accompanied by a very clever navigation customization that mixes embedded elements like the thumbnail navigation with their own buttons and a crisp border that keeps it all together.

11.08.07 | ahsi

ahsi, which is short for Abstract Hair Studio's Inc., is using SlideShowPro on their business site to showcase their portfolio of work as well as product photography. The site begins with a clever interactive element, and you engage the site menu by double clicking anywhere on the page (for near zero Fitts's law). Click on "Works", and SlideShowPro is there loading split frame images along with an external navigation, caption, and image counter all custom made by the developer. Great photos, nice presentation.

10.29.07 | Oliver Peoples / Gramercy Park Hotel

A double shot of SlideShowPro examples sent in by their creator, Michael Davis. The first is Oliver Peoples, an eyewear company. SlideShowPro is being used on their home page to present an interesting mix of black and white photographs grouped together in pairs and sequenced to tell a mysterious story. The second is the famous (or is it infamous?) Gramercy Park Hotel, which is well known in design circles for its unorthodox, ground breaking interior design and art direction. SlideShowPro is used on multiple pages, with a nice serif typeface used for its numerical navigation, and a "floating" look that removes the component's outer border and sets the navigation background to the same color as the page for a look that's clean and stylish.

10.25.07 | Pogo Pictures

Pogo Pictures, who are literally a few miles from SlideShowPro HQ in Atlanta, are using SlideShowPro...well...everywhere on their web site. It displays photos on their home page, videos on the "Directors" pages (with an external thumbnail loader), recent images on the News page, and background images (with an external navigation overlay) in their Space and Locations sections. Each instance is managed and updated by the Pogo staff using SlideShowPro Director on the back-end.

A great example of the flexibility SlideShowPro and Director offer by tapping into nearly every facet of what's possible with both applications.

10.20.07 | Matt Marcinkowski Photography

The portfolio for Matt Marcinkowski Photography is using SlideShowPro and SlideShowPro Director to present his collection of original work. Featuring one of the more interesting customizations of SlideShowPro I've seen, the component is scaled wide, and all slideshow content is aligned Center Right (through Content Align). The gallery, play/pause, and full screen buttons were removed (through Navigation Buttons Appearance) to leave nothing but thumbnails and navigation link icons. The background of all component elements were made transparent, and the designer positioned graphical shapes underneath (like the ovals underneath the navigation icons and the horizontal gradient behind the slideshow imagery) for extra style. Finally, an external navigation was added for selecting albums from outside the embedded gallery interface.

In all, a creative and engaging implementation that shows how far you can get by customizing SlideShowPro's parameters.

09.29.07 | Wilco

Fans of the American rock group Wilco will recognize SlideShowPro at wilcoworld.net, the official web site for the band. With large images of the group performing live around the world, the gallery is fantastic collection of original photos you won't see anyplace else.

09.17.07 | Don Flood Photography

Be still my beating heart. Photographer Don Flood, who appears to specialize in capturing female fashion models and celebrities, is using SlideShowPro to showcase a gorgeous portfolio of work. Nearly every inline interface item in SlideShowPro is turned off, with the exception of the minimal "Line" preloader animation, and replaced with a simple, two button external navigation for flipping through photos. With the exception of the splash page, SlideShowPro is used on every page in the site, with great style. Check it out.

09.05.07 | David Brabyn

Filled with large, beautiful photos, the portfolio site of photojournalist David Brabyn is crisp, clean, and satisfyingly simple. SlideShowPro's background, as well as the navigation's background, are styled white so the images and navigation buttons (which are using our first extra button pack "Quartz") float above the page. Loads of beautiful portraits and news imagery to see.

08.30.07 | Joel Aron Photography

Photographer Joel Aron is using SlideShowPro on his portfolio site to showcase his large collection of original work. SlideShowPro's "Crop to Fit" Album Type is dramatically used with large images and in-line typography serving as the links for his albums. Plenty of great images as well, so be prepared to stay a while.

07.03.07 | Howards Events

Travel company Howards Events is using SlideShowPro as a backdrop for their entire web site. They've turned off the navigation, gallery and captions, and are simply using SlideShowPro to cross-fade photos underneath content as you navigate through the site. It's a clean, simple, yet effective technique that works really well with their tropical photography. The site is still in beta, so some sections haven't completely filled out yet, but it's looking great thus far. Check it out.

05.28.07 | Calver Photo

You can't tell by looking at it, but the portfolio site of Paul Calver (no longer online) is using SlideShowPro. The component's embedded navigation has turned off, as well as pretty much every other visual asset SlideShowPro normally displays. In their place, a very unique custom navigation for not only browsing images within an album, but an entire gallery of photos. The result is a simple, sublime presentation that echoes his beautiful portfolio of work.

05.08.07 | Skyscraper

A new example named "Skyscraper" has been added to the Examples section to illustrate how portrait photos can be used, as well as show off the new Quartz button pack. The example also uses the new "Navigation Background Alpha" parameter (introduced in version 1.5.0) to create a semi-transparent glass look that sits on top of the full frame photos.

04.26.07 | Wedding Portfolio: La Piccola Selva

The simple, beautiful Italian wedding portfolio site La Piccola Selva is using SlideShowPro to present their collection of wedding photos from Lake Orta. SlideShowPro's navigation is turned off, and laid on top of a simple stack of photo frames to give the photos a natural, organic touch. The flower petals and plant life around the bottom edges are especially nice.

04.01.07 | Almasy Photo

03.27.07 | Tuan Photography

03.04.07 | Simply Amish

Furniture manufacturer Simply Amish is using SlideShowPro to showcase their collection of beautiful furniture. Large thumbnails in the navigation make the gallery easy to navigate and click through. The background color of SlideShowPro's navigation bar was changed to a pleasing gray/green that perfectly blends with the color palette of their web site. Lots of great product photography as well. Check it out.

03.01.07 | Ronny Kiaulehn Photography

European photographer Ronny Kiaulehn is using SlideShowPro to display hundreds of large, beautiful photographs from his eclectic portfolio of work. The navigation bar color was colored to match the background color of the radius frame behind the component to create a fluid, integrated look. He's also using (under the "Portfolio" section) the new "Thumb Crop to Fit" option for the albums for a dramatic effect. Lots of good photos to see.

01.25.07 | Mario Palma

Mario Palma, an Italian painter near Rome, is using SlideShowPro for his portfolio site. Set in an unusual, yet beautiful vertical format, Mario's paintings are loaded and cropped to fit the component area to create a pleasing look that extends from edge to edge in all directions. The caption bar also appears on the bottom of the component for extra originality. SlideShowPro is also being used on Mario's main gallery page as well.

12.22.06 | Delicious Days

Delicious Days, a popular weblog about cooking, food, and recipes, is using SlideShowPro on photo gallery page. They're using the new "Thumb Crop to Fit" Album Type to use images for their album links. They've also added external navigation to control their slide show. All together, a polished, professional look.

Jumpgallery

Jumpgallery.com is using SlideShowPro to showcase photographer portfolios. Simplicity is the key to their design, which opens full screen and presents large images in a style that's close to the "Floating photos" example on this site. But jumpgallery takes it a step further by building their own rollover for the artist portfolios link that matches the style of SlideShowPro's thumbnail preview boxes; thus making them feel like a connected unit. The artists portfolios links use SlideShowPro's loadAlbum() method to retrieve their requisite albums. A simple, nice example of SSP in action.

Update (6/30/07): Jump Gallery has redesigned since this entry. They're still using SlideShowPro and SlideShowPro Director to host/publish their photos, but the presentation of SlideShowPro has changed. They're now using a simple navigation external to SlideShowPro in the lower-right, plus a fancy thumbnail navigation that appears when you rollover a photo. Lots of great photography, as usual, to see as well.

12.07.06 | Will Yurman Photography

Will Yurman is using SlideShowPro on his photography portfolio site, and updates it every day with a new image. He customized the component with his own help button/layer at the far right of the navigation bar, and is also loading each photo through a SWF that presents its own type of image caption (instead of using SlideShowPro's built in caption). Beyond SlideShowPro, his portfolio is full of stunning work, and is really worth exploring.

10.27.06 | Superfamous

Designer extraordinaire Folkert Gorter, who's work you may have seen around the web, is using a stripped down implementation of SlideShowPro on his Superfamous portfolio site. SlideShowPro is scaled large, with all the navigation / UI options turned off. In their place, Folkert implemented a simple external navigation that allows forward and backward image navigation, plus a custom preloader -- all of which taps into SlideShowPro's event listener data. A beautiful, simple example with lots of stellar design work to look at.

10.25.06 | Mark Latham Photography

Photographer Mark Latham is using SlideShowPro to present his portfolio of live rock concerts. 42 albums of photos are presented, each with a unique graphical treatment in the gallery. Loads of great photos to enjoy.

Ultra large photos are displayed in SlideShowPro with all of its interface elements turned off, and in their place a custom vertical navigation and a beautiful image caption effect that appears on rollover (which is explained in this forum thread). Beautiful work all around.

08.07.06 | This Side Up

08.06.06 | Landor

Landor, quite possibly the biggest branding firm on the planet, is using SlideShowPro on the front of their home page. The component is sized ultra-wide, auto-displays captions, and randomly cycles through images of their design portfolio. Very sharp.

Well done.

06.15.06 | Adam McCausland

Update (5/3/2007): This example appears to be now offline. The link has been removed.

Charity Auction "Also Known As" is using SlideShowPro to showcase their collection of custom patent leather Nike Dunk Lo's, with all proceeds from the auction going to Free Arts NYC. SlideShowPro displays the shoes in a large, attractive frame that's purposely minimal to focus all attention on the shoes. Very sharp.

04.06.06 | ESPN.com: MLB GameCast

ESPN is using SlideShowPro to dynamically serve event photos in their new MLB GameCast. By clicking on the "Photos" button on the right side, users are given images from the current game, recent shots, and previous games all in one interface. Very sharp.

Scott's implementation of SSP is a shining example of the many ways SSP can be easily configured and modified to suit a particular creative and/or editorial requirement.

Photographers Stefan Liden and Johanna Ahlberg built a beautiful gallery of underwater images in SlideShowPro.
