Powerpoint

All the articles were something that was interesting to me especially the first one because I have seen people dislike something but never to that extent. Edward Tufe’s “Powerpoint is Evil”, okay I understand that powerpoint has its pros and cons but comparing it to the dictator Joseph Stalin is a bit extreme if you ask me. The other articles gave me more of a reason than just bashing powerpoint as a whole.

Powerpoint Readings

Personally, I do not like powerpoint. Being the Marketing Director for LEAP, I find powerpoint too basic, however it is better for beginners. Although, I found Tufte a little aggressive, I agree with the fact that powerpoint is overused, and often times used incorrectly. I liked that Reynolds touched on the fact that powerpoint can be used successfully if and when used correctly. For my purposes of marketing It is essential not to use a program or design too much, because it becomes less successful in capturing the audience. I find that this is often the case with Powerpoint. Nowadays, it is overused and being so it does not enhance learning as it used to. It also is common knowledge to know how to use it, making it less impressive when trying to persuade.

Dynamic Composition Excercise 3

I know it’s late but here’s my interpretation of Schiele’s original piece~~

Dynamic Composition-Exercise 3 Ch 1

Gangsta Comp

This picture is pretty much self-explanatory and if not use your imagination! This is my version of ED and Jacob’s posses.

quick drawing exercise turned into mopey, depressing, picture. all in all a semi-successful piece…though a bit emotional.
models used: Apple, Jacob.

Gesture drawings on Illustrator of classmates.

Jan 19th Classwork

When I originally did these pieces, the colors and lines were more opaque, however when I uploaded them to my flickr account the colors became a lot more vivid distorting my image and making the words harder to read. I do not like this version nearly as much as my original. However, I cannot figure out why, when uploaded, they keep changing to that more vivid hue. Other than that, this was a fun project. I’m surprised that even as uncreative as I am I was able to create something like this. Its very different from the fliers I’m used to making for LEAP and I think this will help me be more creative for future projects in the organization.
