Powerpoint design rational

For my powerpoint I was first going to do the spice girls, but I wanted to make it more dramatic so I changed my mind and did Lady Gaga, sorry professor Shiebler! I know you're not a fan.

For my first slide I chose a picture of Lady Gaga in animal print with a painted blue mark on her face. I tried to get my font color as close as possible to the blue on her face and used apple chancery for my font. I think it is a nice legible font, but it is also funky and girly like Lady Gaga.

For the second slide I chose a picture of Lady Gaga's profile with giant headphones on. She has bright pink lipstick on so keeping with the theme of the previous slide I tried to match the color of the font with her lipstick. I made the background black and had the facts come up in order around her head. I used calabri for font which is boring but safe and easy to read. since the facts were appearing and then dissapearing I wanted to choose a very easy on the eyes font so that people could read them fast and they wouldn't miss any of the facts.

For the third slide I chose the cover of "the fame" because it is bold and again made my background black. Again I chose lucida bright, an easy to read font because I wanted it to be easy to read so that I didn't have to spend much time on this slide because reading track names is kinda boring.

For the fifth slide I made a bad mistake by not making individual text boxes so that the facts and categories could come in one at a time. I should have redone this slide but other assignments and time didn't allow me to do so. I think I spent enough time on this slide so that everyone could at least read everything on the slide before it transitioned.

video animation and collage

to make my collage I took screen shots of different parts of my body off of facebook. I then put then in photoshop and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out parts of the picture I did not need. I then put the images of each part of my body and put them together in a way that looked real. I decided to put my collage of myself over a background of a sunset because it symbolizes serenity which reflects my quote. 

To make my collage a movie I went to animation and used to tool at the bottom of the screen. I made sure the eye on the layers was on one layer at a time and made the seconds between each layer .5 . I then copy and pasted the collage onto the font poem, which was too small but I decided I liked it that way. I then saved it as a quicktime player video and put it onto my blog.
