One Slide Assignment
Tech Presentation/ Slide Script
Tayah Brunson
Blue Stream
When learning about slides I learned that color matters and it is one of the first things someone sees when noticing your slide. This slide had to depict aspects about me that I want people to see and to also show my knowledge on how to create a slide that is noteworthy. I chose the color blue because this is mine and many other’s favorite color, I also feel that having a blue background could bring memories to the audience maybe of a bright beach day with the family with the blue sky and bright sun looking down on you. Or a day that you went a road trip and when you looked out the window you noticed how exactly blue the sky was, or a memory of being at the aquarium and watching the fish swim through the water. Next I know your attention probably shifted to the sunflower in the corner. When children we made pictures with blue skies, characters, then a sun in either corner that was either fully or half way there. This sunflower was not put there to point out that memory of a younger you in art class but it does strike a memory to me that could show you more of me that you might know. Sunflower is a nickname I received from a student teacher in preschool. I was terrified and lost and fairly uncomfortable. We all had pictures on our place mats and cubbies and my picture was a sunflower, my teacher told me that I was special because her favorite flower was a sunflower. She called me her little sunflower so that I embraced my environment, she helped me feel more comfortable and I remembered where my stuff went and where I ate everyday. The message I chose to put is a message that many people hear throughout life but this is one that I’ve taken to heart. I see so many people scared to be who they are and I used to be one of those people until I truly stopped caring about what other people thought and become comfortable with what I know and that’s what and who I truly am. I know that I stand for more than just my race or age, I am more than just a student, I am not voiceless, and I dare to be me because no one can teach me how to live my life. I dare to be me and I dare to dream and to chase all of them, to learn, to make pathways for people like me, also I dare to be different because ordinary is too boring.
Direction: The direction in which your eyes are supposed to go is from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner. While your eyes travel over the space of my words you have no choice but to read the words I have placed on the slide to tell the viewer a bit about what my presentation is based on. The reason your direction of focus is perceived to go in this way is because the bright sunflowers will draw attention first and the negative space makes it easy for your eyes to be guided.
Size:The size of the picture I put in the slide is to not take too much attention from the rest of the slide but to also draw positive attention to itself so that it is noticeable and I can touch on it. But it is also not to big as to take away from the other components that make up the slide. The size of the words were supposed to leave negative so that your eyes can be clearly directed in either two or one way but either of them being diaganal.
Balance: I chose not to put so many words on one side in order to weigh down on 3 quarters of the page but to compliment the other side of it.
Unity: Each component is meant to tell a story in their own way, the blue can trigger a memory, the flower can trigger a memory fear favorite color favorite person, the words will make you see me differently hopefully.
Negative Space: When I looked at the negative space on my slide I started to fill it in with my mind and picture other lines that are similar to the quote I used. It leaves space for the mind to wonder and fill in the blanks with thoughts of their own.
The Hue: The shade of blue I feel can make the person who is looking at it warm inside.
