Aaron Tang, Q2, Media Fluency

In this slide, I did it visual where people can just look at the picture and less words. People can see what the picture is going to be about. You notice that my picture of me is focusing of that. I learned that if they were too many pictures in one slide, it would be too much for people to remember what it will be. I am focusing on one topic/ picture of me about photography. For the past weeks, I have been adding a lot of pictures, but at the end I only did one picture. I chose my words bigger and bigger. The topic of me is “photography” and the biggest text would be “Mr. Tang.” I came up with that because it is about me and I bold it. This will let people read it easier. I learned that adding small text will let people see harder and the slide will be boring. The bigger the words are, the better it is. Also, the words of the colors are blending with my camera and my sweater. It gives people the visual of repetitions. I have learned that people like to match with the same colors. For example, many people match colors with their clothes. So matching with color helps. The background is dark, while the text colors are brighten. The bright texts would help it shine. I put the cameras on the sides and bleed off because it gives people overwhelm and more professional. The bleed off pictures seems cooler. The slide has some empty spaces so my slide which it doesn’t have to be tacky. Also I chose the colors of the camera to fade away because it is part of the background and I don’t want the cameras to be as important. I gave my picture of myself a reflection and it wasn’t fading because it focuses the topic I am talking about.

Reflection: What I learned from this project is not to add a lot of pictures in one slide. As people driving by billboards, some of them had fewer words and one picture. If there are so many pictures in one slide, it will be too tacky.  Adding less word helps because I learn that making slide shows should be simple and it is better. I also learned that I want one picture to be focused instead of other pictures. During the research, I learn that matching with colors with the words and pictures is better. For example, people like to match colors with their outfits. I have nothing to change because I took almost every elements from the website I used to do my slide. I took my critical thinking to make my slide unique. The camera, I fade it; I don't want the camera to be on spotlight. The curve of the camera is facing towards the words so people can read it. I just want people to see the picture on the right. If I can do this project again, I would take all my knowledge from the website I learned from.
