Final Project!!

Making this final project presentation was difficult, but I actually somewhat enjoyed it.  Once I got inspiration for how I wanted it to look, that set the ball rolling and it wasn't too tough from there.  My inspiration came from the "books" picture I found on creative commons.  It was a very simple stack of books with a black background and I really liked the look. So I strived to continue that "look" throughout my presentation.

For the font, I went with one of the suggestions from Garr Reynold's book. On page 40, he has a list of reliable typefaces for presentations.  I chose Rockwell because I liked the look of that the most when I typed them all into PowerPoint.

To figure out how I wanted the overall presentation to look, again I went to our textbook and looked at the many examples in Chapter 10.  I knew that images were super important and that text should be minimal.  I don't think mine looks nearly as good as any of these in the book, but I am happy with my result. I put it below to share.  It doesn't have as much meaning without my speaker notes, but I do think you get the gist of what I was going for by just looking through my slides.
