Multimodal Imformation Presentation

Here is a link to my Multimodal Information Presentation saved on Google Docs. I created a PowerPoint and when I uploaded it to Google Docs it distorted the colors on my slides and you are unable to view my transitions. However, once you open the Doc if you click on the arrow on the left hand side and download the file to you computer, you can view the PowerPoint.

Readability

• Is the typeface attractive and readable? Yes, like I said above the Google Docs distorted the colors, but when you view the PowerPoint it does not look like that. The only page a realized was a little hard to read was the References page.
• Are there any statistics or other data that would be easier to read in a chart, graph, or table? If we could have used more text in the slides I could have created a timeline for her career.
• Is high-contrast text, including boldface and all caps, brief enough to be legible? Yes.

Images and Other Graphics

• What do images and other graphics contribute? Do they illustrate a concept? highlight an important point? show something that is difficult to describe in words alone? If the images and other graphics are only decorative, consider removing them. Since we were limited on the number of word in our presentation, I made sure my images went along with the words that I did put on the slide.
• Are images and other graphics the right size big enough to read or to see the important detail? Yes.
• Do images have an obvious focus? Will readers see the part that matters? If not, consider if you can crop the image. Yes.
• Are the charts, graphs, maps, or other graphics clear and informative? Pictures are used.
• If color is used, is it appropriate to the audience and purpose? Does color direct emphasis where it belongs? Are too many colors use? Like I said above, the Reference page was a little hard to read, but other then that I feel my slides were appealing and easy to read. I do tend to be colorful when it comes to my presentations. Some might find it distracting, but others might find it exciting and it might hold their attention.

Content Learning

• How do all the formal elements, pictorial as well as textual and symbolic, contribute to your emotional response or intellectual understanding of the concept? I chose my concept because it was someone I look up to as well as something that interests me. I feel it contributes to more of an emotional response since this concept is something I really stand by and support. I enjoy looking up importation on this concept and I enjoy sharing it with others.
