Single Slide Remix

Tech_ 1 Slide (1)
From the critiques of my slide, I learned that my slide can be narrowed down even more than I think and some suggested that I should include a drawing of mine since my focus of drawing are flowers. They think that I should fill in more of the empty space or augment the font. I also agree with them about the amount  of empty space, but I think that if there things included in the slide I feel like the text and images may look crowded. Also, if more things are added then the audience would have to put more focus on what's on the slide. From this single slide project, I learned that it's okay to make mistakes because from every mistake we make we learn something new from it and we can improve from it. 
I changed the font of the word "Drawing" because it the main focus of my slide. I also took images of the flower pattern and art materials because I think that the main focus of the slide can be more narrowed. After I took out the images, I took out the text "Focus:Nature->Flowers" because I feel like if that is included then there are two topics or ideas focused on the slide and not one. I changed it to only having what drawing is to me, an image of a sunflower and sort of a vine like image because I think that they link together as a story cause sunflowers are something that I enjoy drawing and the vines of leaves kind of reminds me of including our own idea or personality into the drawing piece.
The research I did helped me create a better slide because the websites I used talked about what elements usually catch the audience's attention the most. For example, color pops out to people from far distance like the ikea signs. I didn't only use websites to help me create a better slide, I used the knowledge about slides before I came to SLA. At my old school, my teachers told me that the slides that we create aren't suppose to tell your entire story, but to give the audience a general idea of what your story because if your slide tells your whole story then there is nothing left to say about it. My sources are the presentation zen link and the knowledge about slides from my old school.
