Obviously, I decided to do my slideshow on Something Corporate because they are one of my all time favorite bands. I was able to see their reunion show over the summer and it was one of the best shows I was ever able to attend. I wanted to display my knowledge about them, and things they have accomplished over their many years of creating music.
I chose the songs that I used (Punk Rock Princess and Konstantine) because I felt that they displayed both sides of Something Corporate; the pop rock, fun side, and the powerful piano ballad, serious side.
The band’s colors are very plain and simplistic, so I stuck with the red and white that their logo is usually composed of, and used other neutrals like black and white to stay true to the bands colors.
I chose the plain font I used because I felt that it represented the band, who is pretty laid back and mellow. They do not use crazy fonts or colors on their website.
Once challenge for me was creating the table. The tables that are provided by powerpoint made all of the text show up at the same time. To alleviate this problem, I created my own table using the Shapes tool, which gave me more control over the table, and when the different text would come up. I also make the table in different shades of red so it would match the rest of my powerpoint.
The thing I found the most difficult was getting everything to be timed correctly in the powerpoint. However, after rehearsing the time numerous times, and changing a few of the effects, I was able to include all my information in the powerpoint in just a minute, while still giving enough time to read all of my information.
Overall, I am very proud of this powerpoint. I don’t think that any parts are too boring, and I think that the songs were cut well, and blended pretty smoothly. I also like that the color scheme matches that of the band’s color scheme on their website.
If I were to have more time, I honestly do not think there is much I would change. I am happy with most of the powerpoint. The only thing I can think of is that I may have tried out different fonts, but in the end i like how it looks.
