Here's the latest soundslide from Canada's western arctic, where I work...
http://www.cbc.ca/northwind/trade-skills.html
As you can see, I split a big event into six parts. Students from small arctic communities (population 150 in some cases!) were learning about trades such as engine repair, hairstyling, etc.
What do you think of the presentation style? Are they too small?
All thoughts appreciated
Size is OK, and having them all together makes it easy to see the collection of trades being shown. Most of the pictures work fine when shown small. This wouldn't be the case for landscapes, or where a key part of the image is physically small.
What does get cluttered are the Soundsdlies controls. For something this small, you really don't need to see contact sheets or the navigation arrows, or even volume. Just have the two mandatory controls (Play/Pause and the scrubber) plus the full-screen button. That should clean things up a lot.
Finally, at this size you probably can lose the pan/zoom effects, and try to use horizontals whenever possible, since verticals essentially mean a smaller image in an already-small frame.

Those are all good points, thank you!
nice to see responses and more conversations on this board.
Actually I like the six slides side by side - very clean look and easy for the user to select which presentation to view.
