My slide began by me selecting photos to display my life and who I am. First, I added a picture of my basketball team and I, I chose this photo because basketball and my team mean a lot to me so it represents me well. The second photo I chose was a photo of me and my two of my friends before our eighth grade dance, I chose this photo because another thing that means a lot to me are my friends. The third photo that I chose was a photo of my mom and my two siblings when they were younger, I chose this photo because I have strong feelings for my family and they made me what I am today. The fourth photo that I put on my presentation was a photo of me at my basketball practice and again I post this because this means a lot to me. My fifth and final photo that I put on my presentation was a photo of my parents at the birth of my brother, I put this up there because both of my parents are very influential to me.
In the slide that I made is about me. I made it have a picture of the city as the basic background because I was born and raised in the city. The random aligned words are not only random, but they are words that describe who I am and what I am. I made some words more visual than others with the reason being to create contrast in order to get the viewers/audiences to wonder their eyes upon the slide. Looking out the window into the city influenced me to set the background picture as the city. The random words came naturally when I figured to describe myself on one simple slide.
I really believe that my slide represents me as a person. It also does a good job of representing my Me Magazine. The key element of my Me Magazine is to show how I kept going no matter what I felt and went through. When I wrote “Don’t be afraid to show your true self” in my slide, I meant that people can not be afraid of showing how they truly act. People sometimes feel like they cannot be true to their real identity, when surrounded by their peers. So, my slide is to show people that is okay to let out their true identity. My picture is also supposed to prove a big point in my slide. The “skull” in the picture is supposed to be me. This is a metaphor for how I let everyone see what is under my act I put on. I put on this act because I was afraid letting people see me. You may notice how you can only see half of the “skull”. This is because I wanted to represent me coming out from behind a wall blocking me from the outside world. I wanted to show you how I came to be the way I am today, by stepping out from behind the wall. I tried to keep my slide very simple like I learned on the website I visited (http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/design/).
I did my Slide to be about me and things that make up my Identity. I tried to make the slide look bigger than it actually is. I used a font that in my opinion grabs attention and also look pretty darn cool. I added space to make sure it is does not like it is crowded with too much info. I tried to follow all the rules and ideas in the article about the IKEA billboards. With the presentation you could glance for a second and grab enough info and you do not have to read everything to get the main point. I also made the picture ¨bleed¨ off the page to make the presentation look bigger than it actually is.
