Using Fonts Effectively in Your Multimedia Presentation
What Are Your Visuals Saying About You?
Incorporating Photographs in Your Multimedia Presentation
What has occurred to me after reading these three articles is that this class has given me the training to carry out the advice. The poor presentations the authors talk about are, I think, the result of a poor education. People learn the basics of a program and have an idea of what they want to do but really don't know how to polish it up and make it professional. The other factor here is time. We can't always put 100% into a presentation. My advice: put the most work into the presentations that you are likely to repeat and into presentations that are important. I was tickled by the comment made about graphics. I have been making the argument during my boot came experience that graphics should be original. You escape two problems, intellectual property and cheesy looks. The bottom line is that you need to make a quality product and these articles give helpful hints to that end.

Hi Jonathan,
I agree with you that people just learn the basics of a program and then use it. They do not take the time to polish it and make their work as well as their presentations professional.
You are very artistic and creative. I love your original artwork. Keep on using it. As one of the articles says, it tells alot about who you are!
I think using original images is very empowering for students as well. It's sometime tough to get students out of using clip art and to believe that they can create something better but I believe the end outcome is worth it (even if it does take more time).
