OK, Glenda....first of all, let me say the slideshow looks great. It's
obvious you put a lot of time into it and it's excellent in getting its
point across. And the photos and animation look really nice. You did
really well.
Now, I'm not the most artistic person, so I will let others address that
part. As far as I can see, it looks great. But, as someone who has
made lots of slide show presentations (both for myself and others), I
need to ask some questions from the presentation point of view. How will
this presentation be used? Is it going to run in kiosk, be presented by
a speaker, or be shared via email cuz that dictates how you should
advance the slides and animations.
For example....
If the show will be presented by a speaker, then it's best NOT to have
any of the animations automatic....particularly those where different
parts of text come onto the screen individually.....it's better to allow
the speaker to introduce that text on mouse click so it coincides with
the actual spoken words, etc., if you get my drift....there's nothing
worse than a speaker rushing to keep up with the text coming on the
screen...or worse yet, standing there waiting for the text to come (tho
you CAN set it up for both, so if it doesn't come on screen soon enuf,
the speaker can click to get it there....however, if it comes too soon,
the speaker is kinda screwed)
However, if it is going to be shown in kiosk mode (sitting on a table at
a show or something), then you need to set it up for ALL of the slides
and animation to advance automatically since no one is going to be
around to click the mouse
Or, thirdly....if it's going to be shared via email, then you need to
set everything up as automatic, then save it as a pps instead of a ppt
so people won't see the PowerPoint interface at all but will simply
double click on the file and the show will run
Also, if it's going to be shared via email or taken on the road,
remember that a lot of those fun new animations included in PowerPoint
2002 do NOT work in the earlier versions of PowerPoint, so you might
want to take a look at it on a machine that has PowerPoint 2000 to see
how it looks.
Really nice job! Hope these comments are helpful.
