Media Fluency Slide

The first thing I did was look over the Presentation Zen website.  The information on there really helped me decide where I was going to place my picture and the words I used for my slide.  I learned things like how you can have your picture bleed off the page and that you have to use colors in the same family.  The picture I used had a lot of colors from the cooler color palette, like different shades of blue and grey.  That’s why I made my words a blue color.  I also made the shells on the right bleed off the page for effect.   Since the shells were on the right side of the page I decided to put the words on the left so that the right side isn't too heavy and the whole slide is balanced.  I used very few words so it’s easy and quick to read(glance media).  Above the shells I left the space empty because on presentation zen it says that when you fill all of the space it’s distracting.

I found that it was really helpful to get my slide critiqued by the class.  I got a lot of good comments and I feel like the changes I made really helped make my slide better.  The first comment I got was that my words should be much bigger. I increased the writing and it was easier to read than before.  Ms.Hull also showed me how to layer the writing so I decide to include that.  I made the main words a light yellow color and the shadow of the letters a dark blue that was originally the main color.  Also the image I used wasn't edited so I used PicMonkey, and editing site to make my image slightly darker and make the shadows more intense.
