All about Iman Ahmed

Untitled presentation (2)

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.


Drawing.

Tech_ 1 Slide
The topic of this slide is my hobby of drawing. Drawing is important to me because it became a way for me to relax and find inspiration. Not only that it helped me find myself after something tragic happened. Because of drawing I learned and rediscovered myself to become the person I am today. The reason why my drawing focus is mostly on flowers or nature because when I see flowers, I see something else too. I see emotions from all different views. For example, when people see sunflowers they will feel happy because of the bright yellow petals surrounding the seeds, but when I see it, I feel a hint of depressed because sunflowers bring happiness, but sadness is the emotion people need to feel happy from. Every flower to me gives me a different vibe and these vibes give me the inspiration to draw them. From my flower drawings, I found my calmness. Everytime I stop and think about my life and how I changed from seeing the darkness to seeing the bright lights again.
My slide gives a very simple and direct reason how drawing is important to me and my usually focus of it. This way give a very general idea of my topic so my slide doesn’t tell my story.  This slide includes an image of a sunflower bleeding off the edge of the slide. The text flowers is in rainbow colors so it’s able to catch the audience attention. The word drawing in this slide is diagonal and the largest font size so the audience can easily tell that the main idea or topic of this slide is drawing. “Where my Inspiration is Found.” is colored in pink and purple so the audience can easily see it. There is a lot of empty spaces in the slide so the images and the text are not crowd.

What I changed


Usually in past presentations,  I have made my slides “Boring” as Ms. Hull would say. But thanks to her constructive criticism I have tried using some new things such as different colored words to make the presentation more attractive , I highlighted important topics and included pictures. I also gave some of my sentences colored borders.


Slide Presentation

I’m going to be talking about my process of making my slide. In the beginning, I looked up some ways on how to make it look more presentable and professional than how I would usually make one. The websites said to keep the slide simple, use space, bleed the pictures, make the text big, and to give the slide a theme. I chose the theme: yellow because the picture that I chose matched it. Since the petals of the flowers are opened, I used a quote that reflected on open mindedness. I put the picture in the corner for the bleeding effect. I also chose this quote because I think that I’m an open minded person. I tried to make the text on the slide as big as I could so that it was easy to read and stood out to the audience. I also tried to keep the slide simple so that it wasn’t too overwhelming and that it focusing on the main point.

Ways to Make a Good Slide

So here is my slide. There are many reasons why I chose to make my slide look like this. First, I chose this background for three reasons. First because of the symmetry. Symmetry is not only appealing to the eye, but it also makes your slide look more interesting and professional. Secondly, I really am interested in nature, so instead of writing that out, I put in an image of a tree to resemble that. Finally, I like the colors present on the picture, so again instead of writing my favorite colors, which creates more words, I could pick an image that have those colors.


Also. I put a heart in my thing for two reasons. First I put it to the side for the bleeding effect. We all know the other half of the heart, so I can have more blank space by only putting half of it. Secondly, I like to believe that I am a kind hearted person, so the heart is there to represent that. With adding a picture, it eliminates the need for words.


Finally, I used a quote that really represented my mentality towards life. I firmly believe that if you do things in life that are given to you, you won’t get far or enjoy the life that you have. But, if you challenge yourself throughout your life, you will benefit and thank yourself in the future. Again, instead of writing all of that out, I put a quote that gets that message across. I also made the font pretty big that way you guys can read it and I made the text color light, that way it was a color contrast and easily visible.


Overall, with all of the research I did, the websites Ms. Hull provided, and my basic knowledge of how to make a good slide, I was able to make, what I believe to be, a good slide that really shows who I am.

One Slide Assignment

For my one slide project, I kept the slide simple and open. I put a few key things on the slide that are important to me. I didn't want to crown the slide or make it hard to understand so I only put a few key things from my identity. I made my name in a big font, in a color that contrasts with my background. This makes it easy to read at a single glance. On the Presentation Zen website one of the many things that I learned was to make your presentation visual. This way, it makes it more interesting and the readers won't be overloaded with words and information. Instead of writing my actual date of birth I put a picture of my zodiac sign. Also, instead of writing that volleyball was one of my interests, I put a picture of a volleyball. From these pictures on my slide you guys can infer that I am an Aries and that I play volleyball and enjoy it. My pictures have designs on them that make them stand out and easy to notice at a glance.

Tech Slide

Tech slide

 My slides theme was anime. Anime is something I feel very deeply about and I love!

At one point in my life I had a hard time being happy because a lot of  things were going on in my life  and a friend recommend for me to watch anime because it could be a way to make me happy. For this slide I wanted to give it a clean look. So to achieve this  I went with the empty space type of look. I wanted the corners diagonally across  from each other to be empty. Then to keep the style consistent I put text in the corners that were diagonally across from each other too. I then took a picture of me and my favorite anime character (Obito Uchiha) and erased the background so it could blend in with the background and look clean. Lastly, I made the background white because it brought everything together and gave it a clean finish. I knew  that  color was important to bringing everything together and giving it a clean look so  I choose black for the text and white for the background since my pictures were somewhat colorful.


One Slide About Londyn

Tech-Me Slide-11%2F22%2F17

I made my slide the way I did because it was what felt most natural to me. I started out with just the silhouette and the wording in the top left corner because that was something I knew I definitely wanted to do when the project was introduced to us. I added the paint splatters because I like how abstract paint splatters seem even if they are controlled. I also added paint splatters because it my research, I found that color is very eye catching and my original idea was just black and white with a lot of negative space so, the bright colored paint splotches added contrast. I came up with the idea of a silhouette because I didn’t want there to be too many colors for the audience to focus on. The girl is seen reading while lying down on her stomach and I picked this specific silhouette because this was the most relatable image to me. I love reading and when I am reading I normally find myself in this position. In addition to the silhouette and the paint splatters, there are words in the upper right hand corner that I think sum who I am up in less than twenty words. From the top, the words read as my birthday, my name and a sentence I thought up to describe everything about me. I was born November 3, 2002 and on that day I got my name, Londyn Monét. Over time, I became “the little girl with big dreams and a powerful mind” because I was curious about everything and interested in learning all I could while always pushing myself to go above and beyond even when it wasn’t required. Since I was a child, I’ve had crazy dreams of being trained at every profession under the sun. Now, I know I want to be a self-made billionaire to be able to help others all around the world. Can you say big dreams?


I placed everything the way I did after taking in the advice Ms.Hull gave and after doing more research on how to create an eye-catching slide. The silhouette of the girl bleeds off the slide because it makes the image appear bigger and more appealing to the audience. The paint splatters, as I mentioned before, add contrast to an otherwise black and white slide. The few words on the slide get straight to the point of telling you what the slide is about and supposed to represent; me.


This is Me!

Tech project
Why I had made my slide look the way it does is because it expresses the way I describe myself. I would describe myself as an athlete. So when you look at my slide it represents the certain sports I am the most proud of being able to be apart of. In  the center I had included one of my favorite quotes that represents me being a athlete. There was a couple things that influenced me while making my decisions on the slide. One of them was making sure I had only one point and not multiple things on the slide that would take me forever to explain. Another thing was the Size of the text and where the quote was positioned which was right in the center. I had placed it there because it would be the center of attention. My focus on my whole slide would be around that one quote. One of the major things that influenced my decision makings was the positions of my pictures used. The bigger the image the more it brings the attention which, was the dancer that bled of the page to show how that was the second biggest thing to look at on the slide. Then the other images are apart of my identity of myself but aren’t as valued. This is why I made my slide the way it looks.

Islam


My slide is all about my religion, Islam. Islam is a monotheistic religion where Muslims believe that there is no god but Allah and Muhammed is his messenger. We mostly practice peace but all of Allah’s teachings and beliefs are written down in the Holy Quran (scripture of Islam) in Arabic and translated to english in some Qurans. Muslims believe that there are 5 things that can get you into heaven, the five pillars of Islam. Shahada, believing that there is no God but Allah and Muhammed is his messenger. Salat, performing the 5 daily prayers every single day. Zakat, which is basically giving money to charity or providing needs for the less fortunate as a whole. Sawm, fasting in the month of Ramadan. The last one is Hajj, making pilgrimage to Mecca, the best place to go repent for your sins.


     Muslims are only supposed to celebrate one holiday and one holiday only, Eid. Eid is celebrated twice a year, right after Ramadan is over, and almost a month or 2 after that. Ramadan consists of fasting for 30 days for the purpose of the homeless. We sacrifice food during this month and it’s the holiest month for Muslims and a lot of minor sins are forgiven during this time.

One Slide about Brooklin

Hello everyone 

This is my "all about me" slide

I choose to do star bullet points for each characteristic about myself because it shows creativity and it isn’t like other presentations. I choose to do bullet points because I wanted to show that I can't be easily defined by one statement. I stated only 3 bullet points because it shows simplicity and people can quickly read it and direct their attention back to me. This could be called the 1-6-6 rule. Certain words are in a different color. I did this so people can scan the slide and the important words or points can be easily noticed. I used sleek and modern fonts so my slide could be taken seriously, but still be different and pleasing to look at. I choose to use a close up picture, so you can know exactly what or in this case who the slide is about. I also used the bleeding effect, so the image spills off the screen. I used the colors blue, white and yellow because they are bright and energetic. The color blue is calming and the color yellow catches attention. I also only  used those colors because I’m not looking for my slide to be a rainbow. I  don’t want my slide to be so distracting that people divert their attention from me. 

Overall, this is me! Thank you for listening!
