Adowa Mohamed: Media Fluency

Posted by Adowa Mohamed in Technology- Freshmen - Hull on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 10:45 am

My goal for this slide is to make it easy to understand and appealing to the eye. I made one of my pictures bleed and overlap to make it personal. I learned about these techniques from the Presentation Zen website. Another thing I added to my slide were facts and little details about my self. I believe this slide is interesting and will grasp the attention of the reader.

I chose images that meant something to me personally. I also only chose three pictures and balanced them out diagonally across the slide.This made the slide more appealing to the eyes. I chose the Canadian Flag to because I love Canada and I also have a picture of the hunger games trilogy. The hunger games is one of my favorite trilogy. Then I have a picture of the three top colleges that I would love to attend. Also to end off my slide I added one of my favorite quotes by Malcolm X. The quote has a really good meaning to it and tell students and kids that the only way to succeed in life is to be educated.Also for my slide I left some negative space so it would not look confusing and cluttered.

I am very pleased with the fact that I now know how to make a slide look interesting and will apply this to future assignments. These techniques are also used in advertisements.

Reflection:
For my new slide I focused more on one topic which is Canada and then I focused on one color. This slide is better then the previous one because the other one had to many pictures that had nothing to do with each other. Then I also focused on the topic "Canada" and made the background of my slide the Canadian flag. This slide was nice and simple and to the point. I really feel confident that this slide is more appealing to the eyes of the reader.

Its alot more simple and easier to look at now. The old one was to confusing

Ameer Forte

I noticed the second slide is much easier on the eyes

Heaven Mendez

I noticed how you decided to focus on one thing in the second slide, rather than a group of things, like you did on the first. I wonder if there could be a way to incorporate everything you put in the first slide, while still having it as coordinated as the second.

Brittany Atkinson

I noticed how you changed a lot from the first slide. It really focuses one thing. I wonder how you could improve this slide even more. Maybe you could have coordinated the colors more.

Veronica Nocella

I noticed that your second slide has a specific theme.

Joie Nearn

What if your slide was had a little more images.

Bella Mezzaroba

I notice that your edited slide is very well focused. I wonder what your slide would look like if you used the rule of thirds. What if you added just a little more to it.

Hikma Salhe

I noticed how you simplified the slide.

Kara Rosenberg

I notice how your second slide is only focused on one thing instead of a bunch of different ideas. I wonder how your slide would look if the word Canada was completely centered.
