Old Slide

New Slide 

Upon going through the process of critiquing others work, I've decided to change my slide altogether. The inspiration behind my new slide was 1 Corinthians 13:4 and 6-7, the definition of love. I chose this as my inspiration because it describes what I try to posses. I tried to use the empty space concept from the presentation Zen article. I learned not to clutter my slide with a lot of ideas, but to keep it simple and presentable.  

​On my slide I chose certain pictures describing myself. I put every school I've gone to on the top part, and my likes on the bottom part. In the center I have what I want to do in order. I have a picture of a gymnast because I used to be a gymast and I would like to start it again. I have someone graduating because I want to graduate. and I have someone working and a family because I want to have a good job a settle down.

I made some changes to my slide, I decided to use the same idea of my previous slide but I made changes to the background images by making them the same color of the background and thats pretty much it.

I have words of things that describe me completely. I also have pictures of somethings too. I have a picture of my 2 favorite artists, Nicki Minaj and Jhene Aiko. They are the people I look up to the most and listen to their music the most. There is a speaker representing how "loud" I was and a Sapphire stone representing that I am a Virgo.Then I have Big Sister, and "Singing" because I love to sing. I also used a lot of colors for my words. Wild, crazy, Loud, Hyper and Reliable are the words that pop up in my mind about myself. I also tried different fonts and sizes. 

    I put my name in the middle of the page because this whole slide shows who I am and shows a few important things that make me who I am and show how I see the world or what has a lot of meaning to me. I only put a few images on it because I did not want it to be too overwhelming to look at. If the images were larger it would distract from the meaning of the slide. I made the text small for the same reason. All of these images equal meaning to me and what makes me a unique individual and that is I did not make one images too much larger or more powerful than another. I tried to make mine look like a canvas because that’s what I would be if I did not have any of these images, a blank canvas.The point of this is that I started as a blank canvas that can be turned into whatever you make it.

     When I had to make revisions the first thing that I made sure to do is get rid of the picture of the bears because it was a bit distracting and did not fit in. Since I wanted to make it as simple as possible I balanced the two images, one on the top left, the other in the bottom right. I made sure to put my name in the exact middle. I made both of the images better and include bleeding.

This slide employs simplicity and the rule of threes to some extent. I was able to incorporate the white space into the design scheme, and used vibrant colors to attract attention. I also divided the drawing into 3 parts, with each giving a separate piece of information, to make the conveyance of information as smooth and fast as possible.

The organization of my slide is really simple. The colors I chose symbolize my favorite colors. Also they go together. The word describe myself and how I see myself. The reason i placed my words where they are, are because they are spread out. The spacing of the words show creativity. There is a little bit of repetition, letters and size fonts. 

I used the critiques given to the best of my abilities. I made my slide simple. I did this by using a picture that shows friendship, love, and family. I put my name at the top but used a color that went perfectly with the picture. 

I learned to use the rule of thirds. So I used three images on each side of the slide. This also uses symmetry, as opposed to my earlier slide which had three images on one side and two on the other making the side with only two images look incomplete. I positioned the images in a more interesting way, instead of just in columns, and made them different sizes so that they stood out. I positioned them in a way that they didn't crowd the back ground image. I didn't label them like i did earlier because that was unnecessary.
