Comparing Hockey Slideshows and Photo Galleries

This is the photo gallery I have chosen. It focuses on the best NHL surprises that have happened this year. It is a easy to read format and hits the main important topics. If you do not want to read about the article you can just see who the biggest surprises were.

This is the slideshow that I have chosen. It is about the top 20 most gifted teenage hockey players. It is much easier to read than the Sports Illustrated article because each paragraph is spaced out to make it much easier to read.

The last one I have chosen was the best hockey songs. This is just videos about which songs resemble the best hockey songs. They were chosen because they represent big hits on players, crazy fights and also unbelievable plays.

I feel as though slideshows and photo galleries both do their own respective jobs, as it is all where the words are placed such as on the left or the right or the top or the bottom all depends on how many people actually want to view the page.

I feel as though music enhances the slideshow making it more appealing unless the music is too loud then it takes away from the overall point of the slideshow. The music is all how you look at it on some slide shows it works and others it does not.

It can take away by being loud, annoying or just plain bad music. Music that enhances the slideshow or is relevant to the slideshow, helps boost it and make it more appealing to the viewer.
