Example
Black&White or Color in photo journalism
Bonjour Heroes.
This is my last demo before my vacations. I'll be closing my PC at the end of the week. I wish you all a wonderful vacation!
“Black & White” reminds me of some wonderful photos I still have in my mind. Here are a few of them... with a white and mostly black layout.
I filled the background of the screens with the Reader's “black” color: no visual limit.
I used the new “merge shapes” function to create the “colors” button.
Photos are forced to “black and white” or “75% transparent” directly in Storyline.
A small JS code is used to animate the text on the presentation screen.
All texts are my own: information is verified but subjective. Errors and mistranslations are my own doing. Please let me know if you spot any.
I could have developed this demo over 100 photos.
Thinking about the images we look at, real and subjective (with a point of view), in these times when we're inundated with artificially created images (without conscience) and sometimes with the avowed aim of lying to us, is salutary. Even on vacation. In my opinion.

Hi Thierry,
That’s an amazing project! The photo examples you chose are incredibly strong and dramatic.
I’d just suggest possibly adding a zoom feature to the result photo images, in case viewers want to take a closer look at the details.
Thank you Ekaterina_V I hesitated to introduce a zoom option but the quality of the photos (found on the internet) I use is not sufficient to admire the details. AND, keep in mind that all these great photographers knew they were being published in small or medium format, so quality is less important than timing, composition and message. I'm thinking of Peter Leibing's photo of August 13, 1961 in Berlin, capturing an East German guard jumping over barbed wire to reach the West. The photo of a life, a city, an era, and an icon of photojournalism with a very mediocre quality!
