Remix 1: Google Slide and Reflection

After presenting my original slide, I was given a lot of constructive criticism. The critique that I heard the most was that my background was distracting and did not make my text pop out to the viewer. I was also told that the font of the quote was confusing and hard to read. I was praised however, on the concept of my slide, and how I used thirds. I was encouraged to change the size of my quote, so it could take up more of the slide and minimize unused space.

In the remix of my slide, there were multiple changes from my first slide. The largest difference between my first and second slides, was the opacity of the background image. In my second slide, the background is much more transparent, directing the viewer’s eyes towards the text, and not details in the background. I also changed the font from Indie Flower to Oswald. I believe that these changes helped bring my slide focus.

The research that I gathered pushed me to use the thirds concept and natural lines in my background and slide. Also, I incorporated something I learned from presentation zen, which was to limit the amount of information on my slide. I used the sites that were provided on canvas to format and design my slide. Overall, I am proud of both my original and new slide.
