Remix Slide
After presenting my slide and getting critique from my peers I learned a lot about my own slide. Although they didn't suggest anything major, they were good critiques nonetheless. I learned that I should change my font to something more meaningful or that fits the slide better. They also suggested adding a quote or other words within the slide, possibly on the skyline. After looking at other people's slides I also learned that it is good to have the picture overlap with the borders as it makes the picture seem larger.
After the feedback and looking at other people's slides I made a couple changes to my slide. The first change was to have the same font as the Philadelphia Inquirer because it makes it more meaningful. To do this I took an image of the logo and cut the word "Philadelphia" out of it. The second change was to add a quote in the silhouette of the city. I made the quote in white so that it is easy to read and your eyes are drawn to it from the start. I feel as though my slide is much better now and I learned a lot about how to design my slides in the future.
The research I did to make my slide skewed my thoughts a lot. By this I mean that what I might've thought was a good slide before my research might not still be a good slide in my opinion because of all the stuff I now know about good slides. In my research I learned that the text and images should be contrasting so that yo can read the words easily. It is also important to really think about how the viewers eyes are going to move throughout the slide. If you want the reader to read something first either have it bigger than the rest or place it in the top left (rule of thirds).
