SlideShowPro News

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.
