Media Fluency Reflection- Majd Bostani

Posted by Majo Bostani in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on
I have learned a lot from the class critique of my slide. Not only did I learn the strong points and flaws of my original slide, but also a lot of feedback on how to make better slides at SLA and in life! Originally, my slide was built around the concept of of an IKEA billboard. It followed the colorful, powerful, yet simple design of it. However, the black background with the white and red letters was rather distracting. The picture's angle was angled way too far up. I intended for a 5 degree tilt, but it looked more like a 25 degree tilt.  

After the class critique, I took everything that my classmates and Ms. Hull said about my slide into account. I made the background light blue so that the white letters could pop out better, as well as symbolize the color of the sky! That turned out to be a big win on the term of contrast. I moved the letters according to the rule of thirds so that it would look neat and organized. I also changed the font and color of my letters. Originally, my quote was in a white cursive font as they are now. However, Leonardo da Vinci's name was written in red and in a Times New Roman font. I changed that so it could match with the quote and not be so distracting. Like I stated above, I reduced the tilt of the picture so it would maintain a 5 degree pitch better. Over all, I changed and learned a lot after the class critique.

They also said that i should make the word fit with the background.I change the font to gaming so you can see the picture as what i say.I also made the font large so it can show out.  

U1-#3. Reflection & Second Slide on SLATE Milligan

Media Fluency Me Magazine Slide

I decided to make some major changes to my slide. When critiquing my slide, many people told me that my image that I used was pixilated and a little to difficult to see. Looking back on my slide, I agreed with what they said. I also thought that my slide had too much blank space in a way that did not look appealing to the eye. I decided to just get rid of my image altogether and replace it with a new one. To keep my slide from looking too empty but still not cluttered, I decided to make an image my background. The image still pertained to my passion, which is reading. I changed the color of my words from red to white so that they would contrast better with the image as suggested by one of the sources we had. The source said to have a color palette that contrasts, which is why I had white words on top of a darker image. I stilled used kerning to fit the words “my passion” on top of the “read” section of the word “reading” in a way that is visually pleasing. I also slightly moved my words so that they did not touch at all, since that was one concerning to some viewers. The rule of thirds still applies because I  positioned my slide so that the image catches the viewer’s attention first.


Second Slide Reflection Eastwood

Posted by Alyssa Eastwood in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on

What I learned from the critique that my peers gave me is that I should make some of the pictures and the writing more center. So I put two pictures on each side and put the main one in the middle with Alyssa's Life above it and I put the emoji under it. I also added a bold red background so it wouldn't be plain. I made these changes because I wanted my slide to be more eye catching and i wanted it too look like I really did listen to my peers.

My new slide

Posted by Tyreek Speedwell in Technology - Freshman - Hull - y1 on
My first slide was pretty good. I worked really hard on it and it expresses my love for basketball. I was truly interested in what my classmates said I needed to improve on. They inspired me to make those improvements. There were a few things I fixed instead of leaving out of my slide like my name, the jordan logo, and the LeBron James quote. Overall I changed a lot to make my new slide more appealing to my auidence.

Reflection for Slide - DeRock

Posted by Antonio DeRock in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on
Me Magazine Slide (1)
​I learned that I need to make my slide simple, and make sure the audience can understand and read the things on my slide. The words on my slide were small and couldn't be read by the audience. There was a distracting blur in the corner of my picture. The big flaw with my presentation was the lack of knowledge. I didn't use any words from the websites that were provided.

When editing my slide, I wanted the words to pop out to the audience, so I highlighted the words in yellow because its a very bright color, that is easy to see. I took a screenshot for the part of my image that didn't consist of having that annoying blur that was in the corner. The picture bleeds a little bit as well. The words on my slide are easier to read now, and my slide stayed simple.


Final Slide Design

1.) From the criticism I had received I had learned a lot more about what my slide should look like and how I was to present it. The first thing that I was told was that the color on the slide where far too bright and did not go well together. I had two colors as my background and I was told had it should only be one which is why I had changed that. Also my slide had multiple pictures on it and was all over the place and I had to stick with a single topic which is what I did. In my old slide I had many pictures that were all different colors which brings me to the last piece of criticism. I was told that it would be much simpler and neater to have one big picture that shows my topic quickly instead of having multiple ideas on the slide.

2.)The first change I had made was the color because before it was bright and slightly difficult to read so I had changed it to something darker so if I put white writing it would stand out more. I had gotten rid of all my pictures because I felt as if they didn't go with my main idea. My old slide did have a title but I saw that it was better to put large words that had meaning to them because it gave to the reader something to think about what kind of person I am.  

Media Fluency Part 2- Lor, Autumn

Pictures that covers the whole slide, makes it less eye catching. When it’s a big picture, it takes away the main focus. On my slide itself, I felt like it was a bad picture to put as a slide shows. So instead of making it a plain picture, I changed to texture of it.

I changed the color of the fonts and I also changed the positioning of the word “photography”. I kind of had made it follow along the line at the top of the building and then moved the words “me magazine” to a different area. The last thing I did was taking out my name.

Edited Slide Reflection

Posted by Waverly O'Neal in Technology - Freshman - Hull - y1 on

After receiving criticism from my classmates I found that the size of the chocolate picture made it hard to make out, to fix this, I made it bigger. Also, the picture of the butterfly turned out pixelated because I had to widen it to fit the slide, so I made it longer to balance out the alterations. The title of my original slide was “ The Wonderful World of Waverly”, but after consulting with my peers I found that the inconsistency in words beginning with “W” caused a subconscious discomfort. In response I changed the title to “Waverly’s Wonderful World” to eliminate the unpleasant vibe. I’m happy with my edited slide and think that the little changes made it all the better. The next time I see a sign I will be able to appreciate all the planning, science, and critical thinking behind the advertisement.

Reflection + Second Slide - Gerber

Posted by Bea Gerber in Technology - Freshman - Hull - b2 on
From my critique, I learned that my font was off. Some people also didn't like the white background or other small things about the literal photo, such as flipping the picture, but we all agreed that there wasn't anything we could do about them (the word NIKON would be backwards etc). I did know that I could change the font. I decided to do a little research. I looked up what font the NIKON logo is, and found out it was basically just Arial but bolded and in italics. The only difference is that the "i" is an oval. I put this font onto my words, and initially it looked very odd. I had to kern my lines and space them out using even spacing. I kept my first letter the biggest to balance out the largest camera, and I made sure the quotation marks were the same size as the rest of the letters. Overall, I didn't have huge changes to make, but I think that they made my piece much easier to look at.

Me magazine slide #2 -Vivian Pham

Something that I learned through the critique from my fellow classmates is that in the previous slides, the color and contrast schemes wasn't really eye catching or uses the technique of glance media very much. Sure, it had the pink color to distract the person who sees the slide or if it were to be on a billboard in the middle of a highway. And along with trying to make the theme more appealing, the color of the text in my old slide was pretty plain and boring and also pretty jumbled up. The text color was all black and some letters were bolded for specific reasons, and that's pretty plain considering the background was white and the text was white. And along with the text being a problem, my initial idea was to put words within words like a letter in a word could also fit in another word with the same letter and I learned from the critique that it made it really confusing. 
I made quite a lot of changes to the new slide, I changed the whole theme of the slide like the colors are different from before. Before it was just white and pink which were pretty subtle and simple tones. I changed it into a brighter color which is yellow and the blue complimented the yellow and the colors don't clash either and I also changed the style change as well. And I took out a picture that didn't really make sense with the colors of the whole slide in general and separated the pictures so that they weren't so close to each other. And as for the text I kept the text all black because I didn't want to overcomplicate the colors so I didn't want the text to be all different colors that wont match the background. I also boxed al of the words and letters with a white banner so that it was easier to see and I boxed my name as well so that the text was all boxed and not just some.

​I learned that I should take away the text because they take away from looking at the pictures. I also realized that I should make my slide more of a collage with the pictures. I learned how to layer pictures on top of others, thanks to Maciej. I also tried not to make any of the pictures symmetrical or line up to each other. 

Slide #2, Tylier Driscoll

Me magazine slide
I learned that I fell into the trap that was set for the me magazine slide. I completely started the me magazine slide over with a black and white slide, my last slide had no pictures in it so I then used pictures that fit the theme well. I was also told to go into deeper things about myself besides school. I also learned to bleed the pictures off a little bit, and that I needed to fit some of the things about me into a concise form. I made my name as big as it was before and I added a book next to it to make it look better. I made these changes to my slide because I needed the slide to be able to be processed quicker than the last. This slide looks much better than the last because the changes made to the slide represents me a little bit more than the last.

In my updated Me Magazine Slide, I removed two images, and made the Thailand flag and the woman more prominent. In addition to that, I more so centered the text, and made the slide color the (relatively) same color as the woman's background, a salmon color. I made it seem like the two images' foundations are both aligned, but the bird is popping out, making the image seem like it pops. I'm very proud of this product.

I received my criticism, and I made my changes I thought made most sense. I created the slide into more of a collage, as that was one of my main comments. I fixed my words and the colors, making them properly fit and stand out more. The pictures became bigger, to use more of the space up and fixed anything else I had to. I learned a lot from doing this activity, I learned how to properly use colors and the shapes of the photos. I also learned the different aspects of design, and how much it actually matters with presenting and business matters.

​Reflection

From doing this slide, I learned a lot of things. I learned that symmetry, spacing, and wording is the key to a good slide. I also learned about the different tools designers use when creating billboards, like the rule of thirds, making the words big, contrasting the words and the background, and a lot more. I made changes to my first slide presentation. I changed the font, cleaned up the spacing, and got rid of the underlines. I changed the font because I wanted it to be interesting to my viewers and so I put it in Acme font. I cleaned up the spacing because it was sloppy. Each line seemed too close to each other and some of the letters touched the other words. Finally, I got rid of the underlines because it made the slide look messy and it touched the letters below it. These were the things I learned about in making this slide and these were the changes I made to my slide.

I learned that the slide is not only about your academic personality but also what defines you, so I removed everything I had and I made a completely new slide with the things that represent who I am and without explaining the slide to people they will know.
I add my favorite game: Clash Of Clans, a graffiti that shows my artistic side, soccer balls that represent my favorite sport, and finally the Illuminati logo.
