Awesome Capstone

My capstone presentation was awesome because a lot of effort and research went into my project. I was able to remember all my key points so I was able to express my capstone presentation effectively. My Capstone presentation was awesome because I enjoyed talking about my topic. It was great since I practiced my presentation a lot so I was prepared to present.

Project: Develop Presentation materials

Project: Develop Presentation materials
For my presentation, I need a game app and a website. The game app is something that I haven't ever done so it is a new experience trying to create a game app that fits with my capstone topic. For me, thinking up the idea of what the game should be like and incorporating my topic will be difficult and also implementing the plan into my game will be difficult. For my website, it is difficult to decide what to put on certain pages of my website and how to make it better.

Perfect Presentations

1) A real-life situation in which I had to listen to a boring presentation would be in physics when the instructor taught by using powerpoints and lectured using the powerpoint. A situation where I participated in an engaging presentation would be in theatre where he interacted with the whole class when he taught us.
2)Multitasking deters progress in creating a presentation because then you won't be focused on creating your presentation and it won't be as good because you didn't put much thought into it.
3)When creating and participating in a presentation, I would have sources from scholarly articles and credible websites.
4) I would recreate the visual aspect of the presentation so that the text doesn't overshadow the pictures which incorporates "vision trumps all other senses."
5) I should toss my current Powerpoint slides because the current powerpoint probably is too wordy and will bore the audience to sleep.

For my PSA video, it is short, but straight to the point. It introduces fraud seriously and how it is applicable to college students. In the video, I used a couple of images in the beginning of my video and added music from jamendo.

Discuss look and feel issues: 
a)Will your presentation use comedy and humor or is it serious?
 As the presentation topic is a serious topic, the content should also be serious as well.

b)What colors, fonts, design layouts, graphs, photographs and other imagery are appropriate for the topic?
The colors should be a darker color and should display the photographs and graphs to support the topic. The design layout should be simple, but still friendly. The font should be professional yet friendly and conversational as well.
c)How is your site, video and print material persuasive?
The site, video, and print material should be persuasive since it is representing the topic and if it is not accurate presented then no one would consider it. My site, video, and print material would be persuasive since it will be interesting while representing the material as best as possible.
d)Post support materials.

Inspiration

Inspiration for a good idea comes whenever I take a break from what I am currently doing and go back to it later after a while. I find that I can think up new ideas when I take a break.
