Media Fluency: Anthony Castro-Gomez

Technology Benchmark (1)
Hello, my name is Anthony Castro and this is my 1 google slide. So first, I searched up how to make the slides interesting. Like ads on a billboard, I learned that when the image “bleeds” off of the slide/picture it looks more interesting. I read this on https://zachholman.com/posts/slide-design-for-developers/ So, I took an image from google of a basketball hoop that didn’t show the entire image and used what I learned from http://youtu.be/axj8IedTzfc?hd=1 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to use the image as the background. The reason why I chose a basketball hoop to be my image is because I have a passion for basketball, and I feel as though some people don’t and would never be able to comprehend it as well as I can. Basketball was what linked me to my friends back in middle school, that was the only way of interaction in a sense to get closer to your friends. After this, I wanted to find words that describe me the best in my opinion. I came to the conclusion of putting down ambition, dedication, and success. I am a very ambitious person, I strive to become better at whatever it is that I am doing. Basketball, for instance, is one thing I am always trying to improve in. Dedication describes me because it takes dedication to get to where you want to be in life. It takes dedication to get better at something. Finally I picked the word success because that is what comes out after hard work. I am a hardworking person, therefore success usually comes from my improvements. After picking the words, I added a reflection and changed the color of the font so it stands out and looks pleasing to the eye. I feel like it looks more interesting when I space the words out like that because it make you think about and take into consideration each word. I feel as though the significance of the word spacing is to show that the words are different from each other but they all are connected. The reason why I chose 3 words was so that it looks like an ad sort of, so you can quickly glance at it, manage to gather all of the information you need in like 10 seconds, then look away. This was my google slide based off of my me magazine and thank you for listening.
