            I used a zoomed picture of a bass so that it only shows the body and part of the neck. Then I put what each string is in music terms such as “E” or “G”. After I named each string I then I made it so that the string say something to represent that I prefer bass. Then I put “bass” in the corner of the slide so those who don’t know what the instrument is now know. I chose to use purple for the words so that they stand out and are easily legible.

            This slide explains my obsession for reptiles. Everything on this slide has to do with reptiles. The thing that I wrote “scaling the road to victory” because I think I have a good future.

            The things that I learned from these web sites is that you need to;

1.     Keep it simple

2.     Limit the amount of words

3.     Use color well

4.     Make the words big and simple

For technology We had to find websites for a slide. I learned from the websites on moddle and from stuff I learned in class like using alpha. I choose the background for my slide because it makes all information on the slide easy to see.  The picture of the turtle is there because it’s the best picture I could that would go with my background. I made my name big so it would be the first thing people would focus on and to show what I would rather be called “Matt” instead of my full name. The picture of the house is there to show that I live in a normal home just like most people.

What I did about my slide, is that I wrote a few words about me in my favorite color and also that describes me, I also put a picture of me, to show how I do. I put a Mexican flag on my slide because people think I am Asian but i am not.I put red hair dyed because I love dyeing my hair when I am bored and one of my favorite colors is red. I also put a dog on my slide because I love dogs and every kind of animal and I also have two dogs. I put a piercing on my slide because I have my lip pierced and I think its pretty cool. One of my favorite stores is Hot Topic they have awesome stuff and sometimes have what I like; jeans, shirts (with cool writing on them) , another favorite of mine is Hollister I love that store even if they have high prices but there clothes are nice. I have Hello Kitty because she is awesome and so cute, and I just love it !

The picture of me is very simple and I have a very intricate swirl of thoughts representing music. I speak music to represent I represent it. Note that the word are Qis not very important, so it is relatively smaller.

From http://zachholman.com/posts/slide-design-for-developers/, I learned that a slide should not cram info. From http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2008/08/learning-from-the-design-around-you-ikea.html I learned that there are certain colors that contrast , so I have a black background. From, http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#pages-hero I learned how to use Keynote’s Alpha.

http://buzzmarketing.com/2010/11/26/advertising-techniques/ taught me to  use the word “you” or “your” far more than “I” “me” or “we.” And to make things pop out.

I bled my picture out the side and made the headphones pop out against the black. My thoughts of music spiral from my head into ooblivion. There is a minimum of words on my slide. They are absolutely relavant. And they are tilted slightly

I followed all of the rules from Ms. Hull’s rubric and www.zachholman.com…

1) DESIGN (Color, Size, and Shape)

2) KNOWLEDGE 

3) APPLICATION  

4) PRESENTATION 

5) PROCESS 

- One slide.

- A visual theme.

- Make “Size” matter!

With the above rules in my head I created a slide with diverse color, big readable text, and connected my visual graphic with my text too tell a story.
