PowerPoint Notes

1. People put every word they intend to say on their powerpoint slides. Do not include s many words because people will get lost.

2. Run SPELL check!

3. Avoid excessive bullet points, only bullet important information.

4. Avoid bad color schemes and fonts.

5. The more data you have, the harder it is to present your powerpoint.

6. Make sure the font you use represents you and is legible.



Five Things to AVOID

1. TOO much information - if you write down every word on the slides, you should not even present.

2. Not ENOUGH visuals

3. Make sure your visuals have good quality  and are not blurry.

4. Have your slides organized and connected

5. Make sure you prepare

Black Mirror and Wired Article

In the Black mirror video, everything was based on your score as an individual. The higher your number, the less thing cost and the better quality you received. In this world, if someone did not agree with something you did, they would rate you a low score, which would in turn decrease your overall score.  It showed how technology could overcome the world someday, but not in a good way. Though this has not happened completely yet, I do feel that this scenario could definitely happen in the future. As a country, we already base our self by how many followers we have, how many likes our picture gets, and whether or not someone retweets our newest tweet.

In the Wired article, technology is also the main topic. It explains how phones can do almost anything from paying bills, by groceries, and ordering food. We already see these prevalent in our every day lives. The more we use our phones for type of information, the more a company can automatically compute your credit score. Later on in the video, it talks about how this "score" effected how much he had to pay in order to rent a bike because his score was not as high as others.

Articles

The "Brand Bible" article explains how we should organize our brands, whether we are a huge corporate or an individual blogger. it helps employees to properly know how to use and communicate the exact message of the brand itself. It outlines the brands future goals and the philosophy of the entire company.  Using this method, the user should be able to know a distinctive outline and design of the blog itself.

The article, "How to Create Your Own Brand Guidelines," gives examples of some important features to include in your brand to make it recognizable and organized. The first step, is to create a The cover, Make sure it makes a statement, and that it represents your brand well. NExt, make sure you add relevant content. Next, make your brand's ethical statement. Make sure to include your brand's logo and the color scheme of the brand. Make sure you use a font that is eligible and relevant. Make sure to include pictures and other graphics. Give examples of your brand in motion and give the reader thanks for reading to the very end!

In the article, "Your Brand needs a visual Style," gives examples of how to set your brand apart form the rest.

1. Dictate your logo size and placement.

3. Chose the correct fonts
4. Select patterns to set you apart. 
5. Set a style for your Photography
6. Don't forget about Web-Specific Elements 
7. Set your Brand Voice

For my website, "Truth," I feel as though it is a well organize blog, though I do not believe some of the designs are exclusively found on this site. I like where they placed their titles and the placement of where everything is found. I think their color pallet is a universal color scheme. The color scheme is grey and pink. The pink does stand out, but it is not exclusive. The website uses very simple and easy to read fonts, which I like. Behind the title, their is a flower pattern. I feel as though this pattern does stand out and it makes the title pop more. I think this article is very well- organized, but I do not think that it is truly original.

Using the SWOT acronym you can look at yourself at a more deeper level.   You will looks at your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Once you realize what your strengths and weaknesses are, you can use those to over come threats and build higher and higher opportunities for yourself. This article was very interesting, and I think I could use it in the future when applying for jobs.

Strengths: reliable and organized

Favorite Blog

https://1912pike.com/

I chose this blog, because mainly it is all about Starbucks. If you know me, this is my favorite place and most of time you can find me there. This blog was very easy to use and it was very organized. I enjoyed Looking at different sub articles throughout the website. This website would provide easy access to recipes, pictures, and it even has an area where you can ask questions about different types of drinks.  

Movie Poster

I use Canva again, and could not get my picture to upload correctly. I created a poster based on the movie the Wizard of O. It was a black background with the ruby, red slippers in the middle of the page. Under the slippers, was the name of the movie in a big yellow font. After searching for a picture of the shoes, I found one on the Visualhunt website you provided us. I enjoyed using this website, and thought it was simple to use. The picture I selected need to provide attribution to the author, which I placed at the bottom of my movie poster in small letters. I also attached the it was held under the CCO 2.0 copyright law.  I hate that movie poster could not be attached but I will try to upload it some more after class as well.

Advertisement

https://www.canva.com/design/DADC9ALk5_w/edit

 I created my advertisement on The Fury 365 at Carowinds. Carowinds has a limited time offer on their Season 2018 and Season 2019 Passes. In my original advertisement I aligned everthing on the left side of the advertisement. I used yellow and blue words, first to match the rollarcoaster itself but to also give a cool vibe to the advertisement. Overall this project did not go as expected. It would not let me upload Advertisement, so I had to place a link to retrieve it. If I was to use this program in the future, I would need to practice a lot more before trying to publish my piece. Overall though, I liked the design of my poster and encourage everyone to create their own.
