Slideshow Presentations

Last class, on March 26, my classmates presented their slideshows for their major, future job, or topic of interest. Among them, I had two favorites: Adan Gonzalez's presentation and Jenny Zeberlein's presentation.

Adan's PowerPoint was particularly impressive for many reasons. For one, his background and general slide style was very casual, yet professional. His slides were well organized and well used. I especially liked his use of high quality pictures when discussing successful music producers; they must have been difficult to find. But the most striking thing about his presentation, was his obvious preparation and passion towards the topic of producing music. He spoke clearly and adamantly about what it takes to become successful and the necessary skills that must be mastered in order to do so. These things resulted in a great presentation.

Another slideshow that I found impressive was Jenny's. She also used a unique slide design that added to the presentation. She used bright colors, tilted photos, and faded edges to give the slides a fun, light sentiment. Like Adan, Jenny's obvious interest in the topic was clear through her words and tone. Her personal experience with camps for handicapped children and young adults strengthened her presentation overall.

There are actually still some PowerPoint presentations to come in the next class. Maybe I'll have more to say later!
