To make my slide look the way it does, I had to follow the rubric, find some helpful websites, and think back to my ¨Me Magazine¨. Something that influenced my decision making was a website called ¨Slide-share¨ which said to not squeeze everything in the slide. At first, in my mind I had many pictures that I wanted to add but when I read this, I realized that I had to choose the most important pictures that I wanted to use. Another website that has influenced my choice was a website by Stephanie Evergreen where she talks about bleeding pictures to make the image look bigger and more eye catching. This made me enlarge my pictures to go outside of the borderline of the slide. Hopefully, this will make my pictures more eye catching. The third website that I used was a ¨10 Tips For Better Slide Decks¨ website which told me to not include a lot of text. In result to this, I simplified my text by only including a creative title. Another tip I got was from the ¨Presentation Zen¨ website which told me to make my words big and this made me enlarge my title to big fonts. I also made my slide look like a glance media so people can see my slide quickly but still understand what it’s about. I made sure to include a lot of pictures from my ¨Me Magazine¨ because they describe my interests. When I completed everything I used to rubric as a checklist and made sure to complete everything in order to exceed expectations. To conclude, this is why I made the slide look the way it does and the things that has influenced its look.

http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/08/learning-from-the-design-around-you-ikea.htmlWhen I had to design a slide on my passion as part of my ME Magazine, I thought about my passion for aviation and flight. I made this slide look the way it did because it had two roles to play. First, it had to pop out as something brief and easy to present. Basically, I made a slide about this quote that Leonardo da Vinci wrote about flight. I wrote it in a white cursive font at a 36 font. This makes the slide not only pop out in the term of contrast, but also big enough to be read. The second role this slide is supposed to have is to describe the sensation of flight at a glance. The quote alone is probably my favorite quote and pretty much exactly describes the sensation of flight at a glance. It is probably my favorite quote ever. That is why I chose to present the slide in this way.
These words included passion, art, and me.
The major piece in out Me Magazine was our passion piece. For my passion piece, I wrote about my love for art. Therefore, it was only natural to include that in the slide.
I also did not want the slide to appear crowded, so I used as little words that I could. As for the picture, I looked at pictures that had not been copyrighted and were open to the use of the public. I saw the picture and I really liked it. I also felt that I could relate to the picture. Art had ¨pulled me by the hand" when I was younger and has continued to do so these past years. It also appeared the be bleeding off of the page and brought my attention to it.
The first choice I made with my slide was to pick a color palette that I liked. According to the first source given, you should pick colors that contrast with each other, which is why I picked white and red. The source also mentioned that the words should be big and simple, which is why I do not have many words on the slide. I used kerning to make the “my passion” part fit into the word "reading" in a way that is visually pleasing. According to the second source (the Ikea one), you shouldn’t be afraid to let your images bleed off of the page. I decided to have the books bleeding off from the bottom of the page to make the image more engaging to the audience. I tried to use the rule of thirds to have my audience focus on the books first by making the books the larger image. Overall, I tried to keep my slide simple and to the point in order to get my passion across.
Why I did I make the slide the way I did?
I made the slide the way I did because Music is my passion. I enjoy playing piano and making song covers. I always listen to music and also enjoy writing songs. Music is my passion.
I made the slide empty and plain because I think that it should show the most important things that represent music and It should be in black and white to be classy. I tilted some of the pictures in my slide to make it pop out a little.
Hello, the name is Sean. Today I am here to present who I believe that I am and how other people think think of me through these two categories.
We first begin with my silly side that I think everyone in this room has gotten to know very well. I feel as though I express a silliness because I am sort of an attention seeker, which causes me to do some stupid things sometimes. Outside of school I have a sort of reversed personality who doesn’t want to be bothered and is a loner. But on to the next category, I am a pretty active person. I play soccer, I dance ( ballroom & freestyle ), I do cycling, I work out, and I occasionally go to my jobs at the academy of natural sciences and Zoo.
This pretty much sums up who I am as a person and I’ve learned to appreciate it and live with it.I made the slide look the way it does because I wanted to have a clear, beautiful cooking background that is very colorful. The colors that are in the picture also symbolizes happiness and passion about cooking, which the quote talks about. Colors with a heavy amount of contrast provide a lot of flexibility with text, backgrounds, and objects around the power point. This was influenced by the major love I described for cooking and how much of a passion it is to me, in the Me Magazine. I think this was a good way to present the board because I feel that the audience will connect with the quote mostly, because everyone has a passion that would colorize themselves and make them happy in any way, such as cooking does for me.
The reason I created this slide to look the way it does is because I wanted to use keywords from my magazine and include them in the advertisement.

This one slide shows all the things about me and what had inspired me. I had began making this slide by adding a large title in order to get the reader’s attention. The title tells you what the slide is and explains that this entire slide is about me, Kamil Kielar. When learning about making slides it was explained that the slides must be very visual in order to be noticed by others better so in order to do this I had added countless pictures. Also the colors chosen for this slide where very bright and go well with each other giving the slide a theme. Contrast had also played a very important role in my slide. Every color way mostly light except for the big picture in the middle. It allows the reader to pay attention to this picture allowing them perceive it as more important. Last I had used size variation in my pictures to show the readers which things are more essential to my personality.
The things I had put in my slide show the stuff that is most important to me and past memories that have stayed with me for all these years. The first picture to the left shows my nationality and where I had come from. I was born in Poland and speak the language every single day. This is one of the most important thing in my life. Next is the big A right under thing the flag. For my entire life my parents have pushed me to my limits and all my life teachers had always expected more from me. Academics has always been an important part of my life. Through my academic I hope to go to MIT or some other good college. Out of all the memories I remember the biggest one I think is my car crash. I was in a big accident where my entire car had flipped over but luckily no one was hurt. Then is one of my favorite shows is Two and a Half Men. I like to watch this show and find it very entertaining. Last is one of my favorite quotes. This quote has defined me as a person and changed my future.Soy Gato.
Siempre, soy
Moreno y hermoso.
Cuando tengo tiempo libre, me encanta dormir,
Comer cájaros y jugar con mis amigos.
No soy ni delgado
ni feo.
Yo soy…
¡YO!
I started with a picture looking of the pictures of me. I was looking In and I had a few of my and my dog but I went with my and my best friend Theo. After looking at it for a few minutes I realized it draws up your eye but only for a second I very bright compared to the not so bright dark background of the rest of the slide. After that I got a bit suck. I really did not know what to right on the side. After a bit of thinking I started to list things about what that I would talk about during the presentation. I listed three things in relatively big letters. I thought that it would give a basic idea without directing your attention away from from me. Also the image bleeds of the slide. I did this because because I wanted to make it look like it was a bigger image without making the acall image bigger since it did not as good if it is bigger. If the Since the picture was not too advanced. You get the idea of both though it taking your attention for two long. I also had my name on top after a bit of thinking I was not sure if I should have had it. Since it more text that can distract them. I decided that I could just say it.
I wanted my script to display two things, a saxophone and a musical quote. However, I wanted my slide to be a simple as can be, so my viewers eyes wouldn’t be drawn to multiple places. To do this, I left a lot of empty space and followed the rules of thirds. My saxophone picture( which I edited) is on the left ⅓ of the screen and my quote is on the right ⅓ of the screen. Another method I used to leave a lot of empty space was to bleed my saxophone picture over the right of the slide.
I also wanted my slide to be as simple as I could make it so I could focus on the few things I had on the slide. Fewer things = more quality pieces of the slide. To make my quote more interesting, I decided to play around with the fonts to make each word a different size. This gave my slide an extra layer of depth and quality. Originally, I was going to make my quote the color red, however I felt like it was too hard on the eyes and decided to get with a more mellow blue. Lastly, I decided to make my quote fairly big so the readers could notice it and read it with ease.
