In this assignment my goal was to choose a band and to reflect their style in my powerpoint using music, fonts and colors. I chose Kings of Leon for this project because I love their music and knew that I would not get sick of it after listening to it over and over while creating and editing my powerpoint. I chose to use their song "I Want You" as my music file because it has a long non-lyrical introduction that I thought would be easy to loop in my slideshow.
I was pretty challenged overall by this assignment. I had used powerpoint before and found it simple to make the presentation, but when it came time to add sound and create a sound slide I was challenged. In class everything felt unnecessarily rushed, and it was very stressful because I had never done anything in powerpoint with sound so I struggled to keep up. I found myself being confused a lot in class and then looking up instructions on how to do things online when I got out of class.
Online tutorial sites were a big part of my completing this assignment. They were very helpful and allowed me to catch up when I fell behind in class.
I am proud of the fact that I successfully completed this assignment. Because it was such a struggle I was very releived when it was done. I hope that I do something with multiple steps in powerpoint again at some point in my four years in college because it seems like it will be a very useful tool to master for careers.
If I had more time I would have been more creative with text and backgrounds in my powerpoint. My strategy in this project was to do the basics first and then go back after and add detail. If more time was allowed I would have concentrated on these details.
