When I first started creating my slide for this presentation, I couldn’t figure out which idea I wanted to do. I came across this quote a couple months ago, and I loved how relatable the definition of l’esprit l’escalier was. Since I am the type of person who brain works faster than my mouth, whenever I think of a reply in a conversation that’s a fully formed thought the next topic is introduced and I try to think of something to say, and the whole cycle repeats again. I wasn’t sure which picture I would put, if I wanted to put stairs, the infinity stair design or a ladder. The staircase would make the most sense, since l’esprit l’escalier translates to staircase wit, but the infinte staircase would be a nice touch because of the idea that a perfect conversation is infinite and unimaginable.

I wanted my slide to look like an electronic billboard and i wanted it to be about the video game section in my me magazine. I love video game they are something i enjoy to do in my free time and something i go to do when i'm feeling down. I also followed on Presentation Zen to be noticed, be read/understood, be remembered, and hope a action is taken or one's thinking is influenced. How I decided to be noticed is to put gifs of video games that I like which are moving pictures I made sure to make the image bleed off so the they can take any space that they can get so it will be noticed and seen. I also put a baby blue background so then the white letters would pop out.

Then I followed instructions from Slide Design For Developers and it said that I need a bright color in the background which stated from the paragraph before is baby blue. It also said that the size of the words for the slide needed to be big so people could see it and notice it. So I made my words and pictures big so everyone could see and notice it very clearly. It also stated that I needed to worry about my slide. What this means is to step into the audience's shoes to see if that your slide is reliable, useful, full of attention and interesting. I hope you enjoy the slide and the script that i made.

When I was making my slides, I wanted to make mine simple. I do not want to distract the viewer with pictures or words that were unnecessary. I used the rule of the third while making the slide. I made a 3 by 3 chart and then spread it across the whole screen, so I can see where to place pictures/words according to the rules of the thirds. I did not want everything to be at the top or bottom of the screen, so I put certain components in different parts of the slide that would look best. I put the silhouette of a dog in the bottom right hand corner so it does not interfere with the quote. I also wanted to make the words pretty big so it is readable, but not so big that the spacing between the words look off. I bolded the word dog, because that is the most important part of the slide. The slide is showing my love for dogs, and having the word dog bolded makes that word stand out and makes viewers eyes go for it first.
