This past Tuesday, our class presented their historical perspectives for their magazine and era. Unfortunately, I did not present mine, but I'm pretty excited to show the class what I came up with next Tuesday.
I loved everyone's presentation. It was interesting to see how my classmates could turn a simple "powerpoint" presentation into something well-designed and informative too. Considering that I will probably have to make a number of presentations in this career, I found this to be a very useful assignment.
When I started my assignment, I had problems with coming up with sources. After some help from classmates and Theresa, I was able to guide myself in the right direction. I wasn't happy at all with the design of my presentation, strictly because I had to maneuver something in powerpoint. Maybe it's just my opinion, but I felt awkward leaving the Indesign comfort zone.
Since I don't have to present until Thursday, I'm going to switch it to Indesign and spruce it up a bit. I don't know about y'all, but I have a huge issue of showing my work to someone if it's not completely up to my standard. I only like showing my best work that I could be proud of.
Looking forward to your presentation. And I know EXACTLY what you mean about the InDesign comfort zone. I was actually impressed with some of the designer friendly options Powerpoint provided...but mostly just frustrated. Man, I never knew just how good we had it with InDesign until I had to design in Powerpoint.
