HWellner - My Slide Tech
Image from this site. (The link is WAY to long to enter plainly.)
I created this slide with the idea of simplicity as well as deepness in mind. I didn't want it want to have an overly complex slide for this, because, as we talked about in the Presentation Zen website, it should be visual, and it shouldn't be filled with text. However, I also wanted the slide to have a deeper meaning to me, and about me, which is why I chose to say what I said in my slide. The words "Living my Legend" are something I created with my head, and to me it means that I'm the one who's creating my path. I'm making my story with my choices and decisions. I'm forging my own legend. Just me, no one else. The image is kind of a double meaning. The more simple meaning is that it's from a video game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which I play, and I like video games. The other meaning is because of the fact that the game is all about making your legend. I was influenced into this design because making the slide visual makes it catch the eye. The text is meant to contrast with the big empty sky in the background. I tried to keep the Rule of Thirds in mind when placing my text, because there are a lot of things on the bottom right area, so I put the text in the top left to even out the weight of the slide.
