A little bit about myself

Here is my slide. As you can see there is text for all of you to read, and its a little bit about myself one of my hobby's is that i like being creative and  like building these small model kits right here. one of my favorite foods is sushi, and I also love baseball. I put in a blue background because I love the color blue and what it represents it symbolizes faith trust and wisdom and loyalty. What I could do better is that i could find more ways to represent the definition of me because I feel that there is more of my likings and favorites than my own emotion.

Hello Class


Welcome to my All about me Slide


        My goal here was to make this a mixture of my personal taste and commonly used design techniques.

    The first thing I thought of when I was begining my slide was that I wanted to make my backround the complex aspect of my slide


The next thing I thought was really interesting was the “the thirds rule”


For people who aren’t familiar with this term. The thirds rule


and used that rule when I was choosing the background.


I used the text to be the simple aspect and the background to be my colorful aspect


And yeah


Mother

Mother

(Walks out of a corner store, shocked and sad) This can’t be happening! (starts to cry)He’s my precious child, he’s my love and joy, He’s my Noah. He can’t die, not like this. Please God he’s only 12, please don’t take him. He has so much to live for. Please Noah, we still need to go to Japan, remember? You said you wanted to go. Please Noah, if you come back to me I’ll buy you anything you want and take you wherever you want to go. Please Noah, I was Just in the corner store buying your favorite snacks for you. Please just come back, I’ll do anything to have you back. (go down to her knees)Please Noah, Please, Please(says this a little bit quieter), Please(says it even quieter), Please(murmurs)… (everything goes quiet).


(wiping her tears)He’s not coming back. My baby boy Noah has died from a stupid heart diseases that was suppose to be cured by now.You know what? I am going to text the doctor that was suppose to save my boy. (stands up and pulls out her phone) you f***ing liar! You told me that his heart would’ve been cured by now, then why has he died. This is all your fault. And send. (Phone dings)Oh it’s him. (shock)


(reading the text message)WHAT! He would’ve been cured by now, but Noah didn’t take his medication?! Why didn’t he take his medication? Does he hate me? Please Noah tell me what have I done. Please, why did you stop taking your medication? You were so close to having a normal life again. Why did you give up on life? (everything goes quiet again). You know what, Noah deserves to die. That’s what you get for not taking your medication.  And all you are a little punk. (angrily)Even before you got your heart disease all you were was a needy little brat that didn’t appreciate anything.  (throws the snacks on the ground)For example you always just stand there and ask questions or distract me when I’m working and so I don’t get my work done. And my boss almost fired me because I keep handing in important work in late. Also when I bring food to the table all you would do is complain because you don’t want to eat it or you don’t like it. Also that time at Disneyland you yelled at me for not buying you an ice cream cone. And the same thing happened at the beach. I don’t even know why I spent money on your ungrateful little punk ass. (yells)I wish I never had you. (everything go quiet once again) (shock)


Oh God, what I have I done. How could I say those things. How could I call myself a mother after all those terrible things that I said. (goes down to her knees again and picks up the snacks on the ground) (starts to cry) I am sorry. I hope you could find forgiveness in you heart to forgive this terrible mother. Noah I am sorry.  


ALL ABOUT BRIELLE THOMPSON

I know that colors gets people attention but I couldn't really make my background a color because the pictures wouldn't look right. Also, I know if the pictures are big it would be hard for the audience not to attract to my slide. I chose these pictures because they are pictures that will literally explain me. My  pictures are slanted because if I was to just put them straight it would be a little cramped up and it gives it style.

All About Saniyyah Ray

In my 1 slide I used a variety of colors to draw the audience attention. I made my letters big so that they stand out. I tried not to cramp my 1 slide up so I only put 4 pictures in my slide to tell about myself. Of course I wanted to add many more pictures but I did not want my classmates eyes to roll all over the place. I decided to use bright colors for my background because bright colors tend to make people happy. Also these four pictures strongly describe who I am and what I like.

Tech and Comp slide inspired by Me Magazine benchmark

Screenshot 2017-11-27 at 9.57.36 AM
For my slide based off our Me Magazine project, I used part of my essay called “Dungeons and Passions” which was written about my passion for the game “Dungeons and Dragons” and growing up with it thanks to my nerdy father. I knew that to start I wanted a fancier-looking font to go with the fantasy theme, so I used what I thought was fitting for the project; “Old Standard TT”. My goal was to make a very centered and eye-catching slide, so I moved the text to the middle to gain a sense of unification in the slide. Knowing the picture that I wanted, I decided to make my text block have a black highlight with white text so that it could stand out for the center, be legible, and be eye-catching for the reader. The contrast of color and flow from the image and text helped this slide work much better, and I’m happy with the way it turned out in the end since I love the essay I used from my Me Magazine project.

Single Slide - Elena Smith

When I first started creating my slide for this presentation, I couldn’t figure out which idea I wanted to do. I came across this quote a couple months ago, and I loved how relatable the definition of l’esprit l’escalier was. Since I am the type of person who brain works faster than my mouth, whenever I think of a reply in a conversation that’s a fully formed thought the next topic is introduced and I try to think of something to say, and the whole cycle repeats again. I wasn’t sure which picture I would put, if I wanted to put stairs, the infinity stair design or a ladder. The staircase would make the most sense, since l’esprit l’escalier translates to staircase wit, but the infinte staircase would be a nice touch because of the idea that a perfect conversation is infinite and unimaginable.


Design Slide

All about me

All about me (1)

I wanted my slide to look like an electronic billboard and i wanted it to be about the video game section in my me magazine. I love video game they are something i enjoy to do in my free time and something i go to do when i'm feeling down. I also followed on Presentation Zen to be noticed, be read/understood, be remembered, and hope a action is taken or one's thinking is influenced. How I decided to be noticed is to put gifs of video games that I like which are moving pictures I made sure to make the image bleed off so the they can take any space that they can get so it will be noticed and seen. I also put a baby blue background so then the white letters would pop out.




Then I followed instructions from Slide Design For Developers and it said that I need a bright color in the background which stated from the paragraph before is baby blue. It also said that the size of the words for the slide needed to be big so people could see it and notice it. So I made my words and pictures big so everyone could see and notice it very clearly. It also stated that I needed to worry about my slide. What this means is to step into the audience's shoes to see if that your slide is reliable, useful, full of attention and interesting. I hope you enjoy the slide and the script that i made.


Tech Slide

Tech slide

For my tech slide, I decided to make my slide simple. From the research that I did, I learned that making the text of your slide big will help you catch the attention of the audience and will make the text clearer and easier to read to the audience. I also learned that making the text contrast from the colors of the background helps the text stand out.That's why I decided to bold and colored my text black because I wanted my text to stand out from the background.The things that I learned helped create my one slide.


Slide About Me

I made this slide to reflect who I am and what I care about. I chose a theater because it fills the space and the image bleeds off the page. Another thing the websites said was to have it be visual, so I made my font big and made it pop out. I chose the cursive font because it is very elegant and catches the eye. I chose the Shakespeare quote because that is one of my favorite quotes for him. I feel like I can really relate to this quote, and I also put it on my slide to reflect my love of literature. Thank you for listening

Monologue:


Title: A Coin Only Haves Two Sides


Ugh, I can't believe that slob Mr. Paxton! He switched our seats and now my beautiful flower is so far away from me, no longer vivid to my eye sight.

What? *Says surprised.*

She´s seated next to that abomination Melson! Why is she starring at him like that, can't she see he´s not even paying attention to her!

He's no better than can sam flim flam slur fur sir where we were.

Shut the fuck up! * Screams loudly*

I know what i'm doing. *Isabella says while lowering her voice*

I know Vicky loves me, I know it it.  * laughing.*

She kissed me yesterday in class when Mr. Paxton went to get our test papers from the office. I felt my body shiver from the boobs down. Am i good enough for her? No! She deserves more than a poor girl that deserves to be in a mental institution,

*Looks at audience*

Ya know, I suffer from Schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity Disorder.

*Looks back at Vicky and Melson sitting together*

And now she´s sitting next to that, that faker Melson!

I know all of Melson's secretes, he can't hide from me. *Says nervously*

I see how Mr. Paxton loo..

Did he just wink at him! *shocked*

Oh my god, is this what I hear when I get tutored after school in the next room?!

I know what Melson is all about, he takes pictures of Mr. Paxton when no one's looking, I know it! Something that Isabella should do more often. I bet you Melson's a real beast in the sac. *laughs*

And that skink Vicky is really all over him like he´s really going to take the times out of his day to really acknowledge her. First of all, he wants a big strong rich man like myself. Not some skinny white girl that eats salads everyday for lunch and takes public transportation. *Said in a snobby voice stuck up voice*

What could she do for him, c´mon really. She´s poor and has absolutely no shape.

I could take him in my new Lincoln and give him a real ride if you catch my drift. *laughs* Something she can never do with that skinny horrific body. I would recommend surgery but *laughs*, she doesn't have the money for that. Hell, nothing can help that, that thing. She´s just bound to live her life looking like a mentally disturbed duck whilst gazing upon my beautiful biceps and killer looks. Not to mention my over loaded pockets. With these looks and this money, who wouldn't want me. Even straight guys want me.

*Looks at audience*

Sorry guys, Juan can be a real jerk at times.

*Isabella looks at Vicky from across the room and winks at her including a cocky smile with it*

Oh my god, she is to cute! What do I do though, every since she kissed me i've been so shy to confront her. Screw it!

*Isabella stands up, and say out loud*

Vicky! I love you! I´ve been holding in but I can't no more! Yes, the rumors are true. But that what makes me unique! I do suffer from a mental illness, two at that! And i´m gay! But just because i´m not like everyone else, shouldn't determine your answer to my question,

*The whole class is quiet, and Vicky is looking at Isabella quiet while displaying a nervously shocked facial expression waiting for an answer.*

Will you be my girlfriend? *Isabella says nervously*

*The whole class turns around in disbelief and resume their work, including Vicky. Isabella displays a sad facial expression, sits down, and buries her face in her arms on the desk. Vicky then gets up, and walks over to Isabella, slipping her a piece of paper. Isabella looks up with tears flowing down her face and she begins to read the note*

267-965-9351? Is this her number!?

*Vicky looks back at Isabella and winks. Isabella then looks towards the audience, and displays a huge smile.*

I guess she´s not so far after all.

Regrets And Gateways

*scene opens up with wind blowing*


E-excuse me sir, do you have any e-extra change on you that you don’t need? *Gasp* I'm not going to use the money you give me for drugs, I’m not a crackhead! Sir, sir, listen, I am so sorry for screaming at you, I-I-It's just that I-Am hungry a-and Im cold, I just really need some money……………………….Well fuck off then don't walk in this direction ever again!


*Another person walks past*

Hi, do you have any money for me, I’ll give you something in return. *Flirtatious*

*Gasp* *sadly looks down at the two pennies she have in her hand*


Why do-do p-people keep calling me a crackhead? I’m just a homeless woman...who lost everything she had because her house got taken away for drugs. Bbbut that doesn't mean that doesn't mean that i'm a crack head, it just means I was around it a lot

*pauses*

Oh who am I kidding? Why am I lying to mys *Pauses due to interruption* mind your damn business, I can talk to myself If I want to!


Ignorant ass people, now, where was I? What happened to me? I’m worse than what I was in high school! A very depressed kid who couldn’t find who she was because she’d always listen to the negativity others would bring to her. Me, I was the person who was bullied from third grade because *pauses* *sniffle* B-because I use to come to school with bruises on my body, all the way through high school, because I was the quiet girl with a drunken father who always came to the school to argue with the teachers about notes being sent home regarding bruises on my body.


After my first time smoking weed, I relied on it as a fake coping mechanism. I knew I could deal with my father beating me senseless every night, but, I chose not to. I chose to escape from reality. Soon, it became an addiction, and a gateway to cocaine.


I got so addicted, I just couldn't be me without it.

I numb the pain with the drugs because I lost touch of the Lord, I lost touch of myself because I'm living in a world so fake, I lost touch of the real me.

I c, I can’t take it nomore, everytime I try to change, I go back to the same things! This is karma, It's coming all at once because I was so stupid in high school. *gets mad* I was stupid for following the crowd. Getting drunk and smoking weed at a tenth grade party. I thought it was so innocent at first, like “this cant harm you, this won't harm you, you're just having fun Mariana. You know when to stop you know better, Mariana.”


Of course I didn’t reach for help when I knew it became a problem. I didn't have anyone to turn to, because every time I would try to talk about my situation, my p-p-pops would just s-slap me senseless and tell me to shut the fuck up and handle it myself. To stop bitchin about any and every thing. *wipes tear* He’s been an alcoholic abuser since my mom left him, since she left us.


How could she, how could she leave me with him knowing how he was. I couldn't stay with him so I packed my bags and left when I was 17 to live with my friend. And things didn't go so well because he was arrested soon, his house was taken away for drugs.


Now what? Im 21 years old living on the street with no job or thought of the future. I am a disgrace to mankind, it's time for me to make a change. It's time for me to go to rehab and get my life together because I don't give a fuck if I go to jail, I much rather be clean in jail or rehab, than stay out here in the cold dangerous world. I can’t believe, I can’t believe I ran away from the one person I loved, the one person that always had my back, the one person I trusted, and the one person and that one person was me. Now its time for me to find myself and discover my true identity.

Single Slide - Sophia

Tech Design Slide

When I was making my slides, I wanted to make mine simple. I do not want to distract the viewer with pictures or words that were unnecessary. I used the rule of the third while making the slide. I made a 3 by 3 chart and then spread it across the whole screen, so I can see where to place pictures/words according to the rules of the thirds. I did not want everything to be at the top or bottom of the screen, so I put certain components in different parts of the slide that would look best. I put the silhouette of a dog in the bottom right hand corner so it does not interfere with the quote. I also wanted to make the words pretty big so it is readable, but not so big that the spacing between the words look off. I bolded the word dog, because that is the most important part of the slide. The slide is showing my love for dogs, and having the word dog bolded makes that word stand out and makes viewers eyes go for it first.


My slide

Emma's slide (1)

Hi, I’m Emma, and I chose to model my slide after Presentation Zen. I used a soccer player as my background because I am very passionate about soccer. I also included my soccer number… #10 and placed that on the girl’s left sleeve in a sky blue hue to highlight my identity because that is my number. Presentation Zen states that enlarging your text grabs the attention of your viewers, so I made sure that my text was big and very noticeable. I also included a quote from one of my favorite soccer players, Mia Hamm. This quote motivates me to work hard in everything that I do. This quote played a huge role in my sister’s life as well. As many of you may know there was a Women’s March that took place last year on January 23. My sister used this quote on her sign and many people took pictures of it and she ended up going viral. This quote means a lot to me because it contradicts the idea that men are better athletes. I incorporated the rule of thirds and contrast in my slide. I used contrast with the color of number but also the color of the text “I run like a girl”, highlighting that part of the quote makes it mine. The colors I used in my design work very well together: black and blue are cool colors which pop against the white background.
